Last week, we talked about the impact that players have on your #ttrpg world. This week: What do different RPGs and game groups demand of GMs, in terms of world generation...and upkeep? If prepping for RPGs is starting to feel like work, what needs to change? madcleric.com/a-new-model-... #osr

If you’re like me and begrudgingly use some of the apps and things available, this is a great post with other options. Thanks for writing this!

Here's a new spread from RAVAGED BY STORMS. We'll launch the Kickstarter on August 12th (link in the 2nd post). Yes, that's a Zombie Turtle from the #PirateBorg Core Book and one of our 9 explorable locations. Share the hell out of it, landlubbers! (Thank you to all who did!) #OSR #NSR #TTRPG

People are like “who would ever actually build a megadungeon, that’s so implausible” and then go to the City Museum

I personally find this DMing trick extremely rewarding and fun. Give it a shot! madcleric.com/mastering-dm... #ttrpg #osr #cairn

Mastering DMing: Tell Players “Yes”
Making a habit of telling players “no” ruins fun. So I’ve got three ways you can lean into telling them “yes” instead.

Love pirates, not piracy. The best DMs steal ideas and inspiration from a wide array of sources. Have you been stealing from the right places? madcleric.com/mastering-dm... #ttrpg #inspiration #osr @limithron.bsky.social

At work this morning and consistently distracted by the guy that brought his typewriter here to get it repaired. Not because it’s annoying, but because i think typewriters are cool. I have some stuff my Grandfather wrote on his typewriter. #tactile

The two types of TTRPGs are Wanderhome and Mork Borg. All TTRPGs fall into these two categories. Fabula Ultima? Wanderhome. Forbidden Lands? Mork Borg. Troika? Wanderhome. Lancer? Mork Borg. Despite featuring anthropomorphic animals that wear clothing, Mausritter is Mork Borg.

My gaming group played AD&D 1e for seven years, with a special eye toward the work of Gary Gygax. AD&D and Gygax will always hold a special place in my heart and imagination. But I've started to move on. Here's why: madcleric.com/growing-beyo... #ADND #1e #DnD

Had a blast at #GaryCon this year. Always good to spend time with friends and family. Blessed our dice, learned about copyrights, engaged in a hijink or two, and got to run the Dream Shrine by Brad Kerr (been wanting to run it for a while). Great success. #dreamsarereal
