I love to have a great conversation about TTRPGs , I just want to share the joy of tabletop RPGs with the world. I probably don't fit your narrative.

Cheese should have magical properties in DnD.

A diagram of how I handle grid combat while mounted in 5e. Opportunity attacks still apply so reach weapons can be very important. Green is 5' reach, yellow 10' reach. How do you handle it in your DnD game?

From the 2010 RPG The Laundry by Cruciple 7. A Paranoia like TTRPG. Proof we are living in a Parody.

Happy New Year everyone. I hope your year is full of exciting TTRPGs that ignite your imagination and build friendships new and old.

I really miss Jeff Easley’s era of DnD art. He did the iconic cover of the AD&D DMG, after all—and his work always had that distinct “stuff’s about to go down” vibe. I love this peace in particular.

A lesson why Hasbro doesn't give a crap about your #DnD outrage. This bump is nothiing but the jump in traffice because peopel took Musk's tweet as a reason to churn out clickbait. They don't care if we're happy, they don't care if we're upset. Only that we talk about them.

Not a screenshot from my account, but tragically funny none-the-less. 2025 is definitly going to be the year of doubling-down.

I've been posting on both Bsky and X to try out the communities. Things are dialed down from 2021 Twitter in both places, but. at least as of now. I only get these kinds of people on bsky. This stopped completly on X for me months ago.

Wow, a real blast from the past tonight. I didn't know what the term Sealioning was until today, when I found someone explaining it with a screenshot of someone doing it to me a few years ago. These were some absoultly terrible people. I had forgotten all about this.

I'm not sure why Star Wars doesn't get more love as a #TTRPG, there is so much source material and it's perfectly setup for gaming.

There is a lighthearted fun in the listing of leaders in the original Greyhawk folio. Leaning into the absurdity of many noble titles. #DnD has always had this flawed assumption that all Royalty are high level, which is an odd assumption. Were they all adventurers?

Humans were the default in The Greyhawk Folio. All non-humans were Demi-Humans (elves, dwarves, etc) or Humanoids (Orcs, Hobgoblins, etc). All called anthropomorphic (odd). I don't recall this in early #DnD. What do you recall in those days?
