Good times...

Well, it seemed like there was interest in following along with the exploits of my new campaign. I uploaded a storyhour PDF. Hopefully you enjoy. If you want to keep following along, you can follow this account or search for the #GreyhawkHex tag, which I'll include with updates. See the next post.

Would anybody out there actually be interested in session report/storyhour posts of my Greyhawk campaign? We're starting the campaign tonight (T-90 minutes to go).

#DMcraft Prepare to improvise. Having a short list of names and a few encounters hidden up your sleeve just in case the players do something unexpected, which is always. If you don't use those encounters, that's fine, save them for later. It's not wasted work!

If you see this, post a #TTRPG cover that you love.

People out there waiting for somebody else to make D&D <insert whatever they want it to be> when everybody can already make it whatever they want it to be at their table, which is kind of the point of TTRPGs in the first place.

I hope you all find yourselves surrounded by loved ones today. Gobble-gobble.

#DMcraft It's better to admit you've made a mistake than it is double-down on one. Example, making the wrong ruling or owning up to bad encounter design. "Hey, gang,I messed up. This encounter wasn't intended to be this deadly. Integrity plays.

5.5e, new 5e, 6e, One D&D, D24... I've seen so many names for the new books. I blame WotC for this insanity!

It's a great move to celebrate the victories of the PCs.
DM Tip: If your characters become heroes of a town have them come across kids running around in costumes, role-playing as them.

They will love it.

DMcraft# Roleplaying and combat are not mutually exclusive activities. Don't lose sight of your character's personality and the emergent drama just because initiative has been rolled. Consider either of Luke Skywalker's duels with Darth Vader.

#DMcraft Simply, don't save the good stuff for later.

I'm starting up a new D24 Greyhawk game all of a sudden. So, I'll likely be posting a lot about that over the coming months.
November 23, 2024 at 9:13 AM
I'm seriously considering placing my next #DnD campaign firmly in a setting based upon the early modern era. Pike & Shot, if you will. There was a pretty cool 2e sourcebook called A Mighty Fortress with lots of good stuff.

This morning I launched a #ttrpg on #Kickstarter. Would you help me spread the word?

Was supposed to play in my buddy's SWADE game last night, but he asked at the last moment if I could run something instead. So, I ran an impromptu D&D game off the top of my head...for 9 hours. Was fun, but also exhausting! We also tested the One D&D weapon mastery rules, which seemed to work fine.

To everybody in particular... You're a better DM/GM than you think you are and your players - no matter how quiet they are - are having more fun than you know.
