Goes without saying but especially in ttrpgs, if you see folks doing the stuff you'd like them to do in games Be it roleplaying serious moments/coming out of their shell, deferring to others so they have a chance, teaming up or heck even trying out new methods of problem solving Reward that!

Do not punish the behaviour you want to see

I mean, it seems pretty obvious when you put it like that, right?

But how many families, when an introvert sibling or child makes an effort to socialize, snarkily say, "So, you've decided to join us"?

Or when someone does something they've had trouble doing, say, "Why can't you do that all the time?" (Happened to me, too often.)

Or any sentence containing the word "finally".

If someone makes a step, a small step, in a direction you want to encourage, encourage it. Don't complain about how it's not enough. Don't bring up previous stuff. Encourage it.

Because I swear to f cking god there is nothing more soul-killing, more motivation-crushing, than struggling to succeed and finding out that success and failure are both punished.

my mom taught me there's two kinds of businesses: hot dog stands and art galleries - hot dog stands protect territory and keep competition off their turf - art galleries benefit from more adjacent art galleries, cluster together to amplify reach/support youre an art gallery, not a hot dog stand

Actually play is like porn: -Consent and communication prior to recording is paramount -the best moments tend to be unscripted or from home videos -You can always tell who's actually having a good time and who's faking it for the camera -best when there's at least one bear involved

Hey gamers, Luna here. I'm a graphic designer for ttrpgs, you can hire me to make your zines cooler, or to kill your enemies with my mind. Unless they deal poison damage, then I'm out. Anyways, you want this. Yes?

Table of contents for the game OMEN. Grey and red stripes decorate the page with the titles for each section.

A 3D render of a spread from wolves at the lake. There's a zine and 2 red die on dark wooden planks.

A spread from a feast for a sphinx. It depicts a centipede person holding an obsidian spearhead, along with the descriptions of said weapon and the rooms 7 and 8. The colors red and gold adorn the white page.

A spread from the goblin mail extras zine. Showing two characters, a mail goblin and a robot made out of mail. The art is black and white and features halftone pictures of stamps.

i didn't realize NIGHTHAWKS got a critique, it's like my first ever graphic design project lol. as always, Aaron recognizes what's special about the game, and how the art outside the rules text screams as it tries to touch you through the page. i will continue to produce RPG books that are poems

I'll end this with a challenge: If you find yourself saying something is "lazy game design", stop and instead try to specifically describe what is wrong with the game. Why isn't working for you? What did you want to see instead? Try it!

just learned an important lesson: re-read everything 5 times before you submit anything anywhere (i already knew this lesson) (i forgot) (had to set up outlook on my shitty laptop to fix the mistake) (very bad time all around) (hopefully will be fixed ASAP)

If you haven’t listened to this mini-series on The QueerXP, I HIGHLY recommend it. It’s full of everything I love in ttrpg Actual Plays: magic, love, drama, combat, plot twists, and of course soooo much queerness. This series is perfect to listen to on your commute, while folding laundry, etc.

Hey Bluesky. Need to make a little map? Here's a 4(ish) step way to do that with Affinity Designer. Using the node tool to make the town, the vector brush tool to draw 'roads', and the shape builder tool, to create little pockets in town you can color to highlight important areas. alt for details.

4 step tutorial to create a tiny map. 1. make a shape. 2. using the node tool, create nodes on the shape and adjust the shape to your liking. 3. Using the Vector brush tool, draw a bunch of lines on top of the shape to create roads. select them all and expand stroke. 4. Using the shape builder tool, subtract the roads from the shape. From here, you can select all the nodes and curve them to soften the edges. And use the shape builder tool to create new shapes from all the little blobs so you can color them in and create little highlighted areas.
