Trying an experiment this weekend. I made and am running a one shot that tries to turn a city into a 5 room dungeon. It takes the structure of the 5 room dungeon and sort of tweaks it to look like a city... We'll see! #dbd #ttrpg

If the cornucopia of jobs I've had taught me anything, its that 5️⃣0️⃣ ft. of rope really comes in handy when you least expect it. Every adventurer should have rope in their pack!

Has anyone read the Novel 📚 Cyberpunk 2077: No Coincidences I just started it and want book reviews. The whole #cyberpunk franchise has an interesting history starting with #TTRPGs And later developing into the video game. I'd really like to know what readers think of the novel?

When you read a book that uses unique or antiquated language, do you sometimes find yourself slipping into that language when you speak? Kind of like hanging out with people with a really strong accent, you kind of pick it up just a little bit?

Sadly, #RPG campaigns don't always conclude. Sometimes tables fall apart, scheduling issues become insurmountable, somebody makes it awkward. And you can't finish out that character arc. Who's the character that you never got to run through all the way to the end? #dnd #ttrpg

Idea for magic loot! An x-ray glasses that requires a perception check. The challenge centers around using them effectively. It's hard to focus just past the barrier you want to see through, and not beyond the object entirely. 🔍 ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #ttrpg #dnd

Madmartigan was such an awesome character and Val Kilmer really bought him to life. A mercenary who found a purpose and a cause, confident, brash and brave. I modelled a few of my PCs after him as I loved that character arc, and it was Kilmer who bought him to life and gave this teenager some joy.
A still of Val Kilmer as Madmartigan from the movie Willow, armoured and wielding a bastard sword with a face of grim determination.

Most trilogies peak early. The first movie slaps, the last one flops. But Mad Max did the opposite; each film got better. It's like George Miller just got better and better at making movies. By Fury Road, he had the attack and the backing to do whatever he wanted.

Thoughts on #ttrpg mechanics! 🤏🧵 What if... A #RPG system had low "HP", high "AC", but the "to hit" average could be drastically increased with tactical thinking. Using the right weapon, amo, move or skill against the opponent could add a "+alot"
