The Rule of Cool is a gymnast on a tight rope, juggling knives. There are times when you've got to button it down, call the rule out and make sure everything is fair, but I'm sorry sir I am at that table to make it Epic (with a capital E), swing from that chandeliar for me!

I ran a crazy #halloween session, it started full of games for the party to play but we knew one of our party had to leave and it needed to be epic.

I really need to crack on with making some maps for my setting.
Anybody got any recommendations on the best way to approach this?

Ambulance. School holidays. Two boys, no plan.
I’m standing in the kitchen, holding a coffee I haven’t made yet, asking:
What do I do with this day?

I was just thinking about this yesterday:
Large Format
Letter is 8.5 x 11 inches used in US mainly.
A4 is 8.3 x 11.7 inches is more International
Small Format
Half Letter 5.5 x 8.5 inches
A5 is 5.8 x 8.3 inches
For Print at home rules could you create a format to fit these dimension?

The rogue rolled low.
Now what?
Not all failure is created equal, and embracing that can unlock better gameplay.
In this follow-up, I explore how failure feels at the table and how we can lean into it.

Such a great way to kick a campaign off! It can really help to get everybody on the same page and to establish the ground rules. Bonus points if you can slay the scheduling beast up front 💪
GM Tip: When planning a multi-session campaign, always run a Session 0, where the entire group builds characters together and discusses expectations. This way no one ends up blindsided by the tone or planned direction of the game.

I created and ran a #dnd one-shot the other week for my #ttrpg table and it really sparked my creativity.
The dice completely disrupted the story with constant missed rolls.
What do you do when the dice won't behave?

This morning my 7yo shouted “Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!” mid-cereal, but he hasn’t seen #MontyPython
He thinks it’s just something to yell before chaos.
Like me with “brass monkeys” said it for years, imagined frozen testicles.
Wrong monkey. Right vibe.

Hey #TTRPG creators — have you used Itch.io for playtesting?
Curious how well it works for feedback loops + iteration.
Also: if you're outside the US/UK, how's the payment setup? Any hurdles for international creators (like here in NZ)?
🙏 Boosts + replies appreciated.
