After doing some long-distance trekking, I'm starting to doubt D&D's assumption that an adventuring party can maintain a pace of 24 miles per day. My feet hurt. #dnd #ttrpg

Sometimes you have a session that's a bit of a dud, and sometimes you have a session where the party survives an avalanche by casting an enlarged version of Resilient Sphere and pinballing down a mountain. #dnd #ttrpg

121. Tutor of the Ifrit's Art by @redcap.press A fiery 10th level exploration & dungeon crawl for D&D 5e ☀️ Beautifully laid out, with 2 useful maps & some excellently chosen public domain art. Absolutely brutal for anyone without fire resistance, but the final prize is worth fighting for

Quick DM Tip: Remember what languages your PCs know! Don't show them something important in a language they don't know, because it sucks to have to go "oh, actually I meant it's in gnomish." (Intentionally showing them stuff in unknown languages is great, just don't do it on accident!) #dnd #ttrpg

Usually you should avoid overcomplicating monsters with abilities you'll forget to use, especially if you share them online. But sometimes you just gotta go nuts. Introducing the Chronomancer! redcap.press/c/chronomancer (Don't tell my players, tomorrow's going to wild) #dnd #ttrpg

New Feature! Cursed items on the Redcap Press site now have a "Hide Curse" button so you can share a link with your players without spoiling your big reveal. In some cases it'll even change the name! More info and a demo here: patreon.com/RedcapPress/posts/new-feature-hide-164952838 #dnd #ttrpg

DM Tip: Be careful creating big places to explore. They're awesome, but the more areas there are, the more time is spent where you're just describing things while your players sit around listening. They have their place, but use consciously and keep your descriptions short and sweet. #dnd #ttrpg

Last night my party learned that a unicorn lived in a nearby forest and their first reaction was to wonder if it's blood might have any beneficial magical properties. I'm pretty sure you could actually hear their alignment shifting. #dnd #ttrpg

DM Tip: Curses are more fun when they slowly reveal themselves over time, instead of the instant the player attunes to them. Even better, have the curse grant some benefits that would be lost if the curse was removed, so your player can grapple with whether or not it should be cured! #dnd #ttrpg

Bonus art! An early idea for a cover for my submission to this year's Appx N game jam didn't end up getting used, so I threw it in as a postcard: "An Isatum-Nisu Witnesses a Falling Star" (definitely not a UFO) Adventure: redcappress.itch.io/tutor-of-the-ifrits-art #dnd #ttrpg

My party just spend two hours fighting a man who they had been told (for months) could literally not be killed. The bard, about an hour in, after hitting them with yet another damaging spell: "Wait wait wait. Hold on. This might not work." They tied him up and dropped him down a chute. #dnd #ttrpg

DM Tip: Give your magic items cooler attunement requirements! This can range from small stuff (attune to this cap of water breathing while floating in the water) to whole mini-quests (attune to this sword by using it to kill a fiend). #dnd #ttrpg

Not having much time to dedicate to working on something + writer's block is a brutal combination. Especially when you throw in a voice in the back of your head that yells "No, weirder! Make it WEIRDER!" every time you think you've settled on an idea.

Redcap Press @redcap.press · 13/07/2026

The Redcap Press website just hit 10,000 active users in one month for the first time! Does that really matter? No! Is the definition of a "User" here so flawed as to be effectively meaningless? Yes! Still, it's fun to see people getting some use out of the site! ♥️ www.redcap.press #dnd #ttrpg

DM Tip: Powerful NPCs can be fun and excite or intimidate the players, but be ready for them to ask "Wait, why aren't they helping? Couldn't they just disintegrate everybody?" If it becomes too much of a problem, you can always have an even stronger bad guy disintegrate them first. #dnd #ttrpg

In the process of ordering yet another proof for the physical version of our Die Hard-inspired D&D adventure, decided to mess around in Gimp to make a new image for the back cover. It's okay if the back of your adventure looks cooler than the front, right? Right?? #dnd #ttrpg

Small update for anybody that's downloaded our "One Shot to Die Hard" adventure: - We've updated the listing to include maps with the labels removed, that you can print or show your players. - We've also added a printable "plot checklist" to avoid flipping back and forth at the table. Have fun!

Players, if you want to make your GM happy, just remember some obscure bit of lore that they mentioned months ago. Nothing feels quite as good as tangible proof you're engaged!

DM Tip: For campaigns with lots of NPCs, especially if they have competing motives, keep a "Who Knows What?" summary written down somewhere. You never know when your party might choose to interrogate an NPC you weren't prepared for! #dnd #ttrpg

Play TTRPGs while camping! It's super fun and all you need to carry around is some paper and a few pencils. Interrupt your trek through the wilderness to roleplay trekking through the wilderness. #dnd #ttrpg

020

Redcap Press @redcap.press · 06/05/2026

Varying how players are spotlighted can help with this! It doesn't always need to be a long roleplay encounter dedicated to their backstory or motivations. Have that weird language they chose actually show up. Build an encounter where they'll stand out. Have an NPC recognize them by reputation.

010

Redcap Press @redcap.press · 05/05/2026

Running an interrogation of your PCs? Have the interrogator say they'll be questioned one at a time, and have your players write down ahead of time what they plan on lying about or omitting to keep them honest as they hear their companions get interrogated. Will their stories line up? #dnd #ttrpg

Redcap Press @redcap.press · 27/04/2026

DM Tip: Make your world, but let your players change it. If one of your players says their character used to visit the beachside town of "Clam" as a kid, that's now a real town and it's filled with briny adventure. (and don't be surprised if that's their next destination!) #dnd #ttrpg

My players when they're fighting in a cramped dungeon, cast Dominate Person on an evil wizard and order him to attack his ally, and the wizard's only damaging spell is Fireball:
