@explorersdesign.bsky.social I'm just getting ready to publish my next dungeon, and I've used your Classic Explorer Template! Is there a place I can share it with you so you can confirm I've credited you properly?

Over the last few months I've been writing up my megadungeon from my gm notes to something everyone will understand. One thing I'm struggling with is my drawing. Any map artists interested in improveing these scribbles? #osr #rpg #megadungeon #art #ttrpg

My players in my Mega Dungeon campaign have been building a camp. At this point it's now a village, so cool to see stuff like this grow over the months. Do you have any other good ideas on what my players can spend money on? #ttrpg #osr

The Provisioner’s Playbook just got posted on my Mega Dungeon campaign Discord. It's an excellent read for adventurers of any level! Flour has also been very clutch in my game, it was used to find invisible traps! open.substack.com/pub/vaultsof...

How do you balance player/your fun with how you run your game? When I roll a deadly monster as an encounter I sometimes ignore change that roll as I would rather make more progress in the dungeon. I got into DND for the battles and now when I GM fights often seem like a waste of time. #ttrpg #osr
