This was the NPC a few rounds later.

A puddle of blood floating on top of a pool of water.

NPC meant to throw a PC into a hot spring filled with dangerous creatures. He got advantage on the check. This was his roll.

It's here! No lie, this may be the single best investment I've ever made in a ttrpg book. And so far I've only had the pdf. #nomicon #mythmeregames.

And if course had to do a little shopping to fill some gaping holes in my collection!

Monday night means my in-person D&D 5e game recreating the story of Baldur's Gate 3. Here Astarion and Gale discuss tonight's assault on Moonrise Towers!

My compliments to @spizio.bsky.social and the USPS for being able to get my package from Springfield to Ansonia in a mere 19 minutes. Truly, we must live in the most wonderous of times.

Monday gaming - running D&D 5e, heavily modified to replicate the story and mechanics of Baldur's Gate 3. Tonight? Big confrontation with Balthazar in the Shadowfell over The Nightsong!

"Say Mark, how was your #Shadowdark game tonight? Was it epic?" "Why yes it was, thank you for asking! Let me tell you all about it." (1/10)

Bought it for the goofy title and trippy artwork, but DAMN I need more supplements this flavorful in my life! Every single one of these items is getting seeded into #Schadengard, my #Shadowdark campaign. From PlanetX and @exaltedfuneral.bsky.social

Having to switch up Thursday night's in-person #ttrpg on short notice. So what's on tap now? A journey through the forests of Into the Wyrd and Wild using #Cairn2e

www.joeabboreno.com Great guy! He's done work for DCC that I know of. He had a booth at Winter Fantasy (one of my favorite conventions). I also picked up this hand-painted dice tray which I absolutely love.

Trying to convince my wife I need to get a new laptop because I've run out of room for stickers. She's not buying it.

Running five slots of #Shadowdark at #MountainMania. Picked up a stack of Player Quickstart Guides and will give them out to any player that wants one. Sharing the joy I've found in this game!

Picked up a #ttrpg set on a haunted submarine at the bottom of the Atlantic in 1902. Definitely tempted to set a game in the Satanic Bridegroom universe @joegola.bsky.social

Bragging time! I commissioned a cartographer/artist at fantasymapshop.com to create a professional map for my #Shadowdark west-marches campaign #Schadengard and I'm super pleased with it. Check it out! And let me know if you'd be interested in joining our band of Crawlers! Always love new blood.

Attended a weather-shortened HBG-Con. Played Inspectres, a rules-light, heavily improv-heavy #ttrpg of paranormal investigations.

Well, that's just great. Now I have to go find alternate cover versions of the other two books! #WinterFantasy problems. #dnd #ttrpg

Currently converting one of my old favorite Basic D&D adventures ("The Keep at Koralgesh", Dungeon Magazine #3) and realized there weren't any Troglodytes in #Shadowdark, so I whipped this up. DISCLAIMER: I have no idea what I'm doing. Especially with math. But it felt right.

I'm hosting a 0-level Gauntlet to help grow my West-Marches #Shadowdark campaign, Fri 1/10 at 6 p.m., and Sat 1/11 at 1 p.m. Times are EST. If you're interested in a campaign or just want to try a one-shot, comment or send a DM, we'd love to have you. We use OwlbearRodeo VTT and Discord. #ttrpg

Reason #492 that I love being a GM. I get to be an asshole. #shadowdark #ttrpg

In-character text chain between a GM and one of his players asking about a rumor. GM makes joke reference to Disney film Beauty and the Beast. Player doesn't pick up on it and it escalates from there. Now player wants to find LeFou so he can get information about the battle at the old castle where Gaston the Mighty died trying to protect the town from the awful beast.

Last night was my in-person Oracle of War 5e Eberron campaign's penultimate adventure, with our 19th level heroes finally facing down the Lord of Blades! #dnd #ttrpg #eberron

My wife Mary made a version of Erika Ishii's familiar Theodore from Misfits and Magic and gave it to them at Twenty Sided Tavern and they couldn't be more delighted. <3 #dropout #dimension20
