RPG Tip: Use index cards for NPCs. A name, quirk, and goal is enough to keep them alive in memory. Then you can have an NPC rolodex . #DnD #TTRPG

RPG Tip: Keep dice on the table. Visible rolls build trust and drama. Making that last death save in the open is quite a moment and who doesn’t love to see the nat 20 to either cheer or jeer. #DnD #TTRPG

RPG Tip: Do a quick “stars and wishes” at the end. Celebrate what worked and learn what to add next time from both what people enjoyed and want to see in the future. #DnD #TTRPG

RPG Tip: Write down player character names, make them visible to everyone. Use them often to personalize scenes and draw people into the shared play space. #DnD #TTRPG

RPG Tip: Use props when possible. A handout, coin, or puzzle makes the world tangible and lets us be a part of the game world just a little bit. #DnD #TTRPG

This morning we started Fury of the Forsaken by @louanders.bsky.social's Lazy Wolf Studios, using his Thrones & Bones setting. I really don't want to spoil too much, because there are a lot of fun ins and outs and mysteries that play into the plot.

RPG Tip: Track initiative in plain sight. Visible order helps keep combat flowing smoothly. Players will sometimes plan more interesting things when they can see what’s coming and when it’s about to be the dragon's turn that tension starts to rise. #DnD #TTRPG

RPG Tip: Music helps sets mood. Battle drums, tavern fiddles, or eerie whispers add instant atmosphere. If you can do this without slowing your game down then it'll enhance a lot about your game. #DnD #TTRPG

RPG Tip: Set table expectations. Talk about tone, rules, and style. Add in the extras that make your table play best before the dice hit the table. #DnD #TTRPG

RPG Tip: Use safety tools. X-cards, lines and veils, or simple check-ins help everyone have fun. #DnD #TTRPG

RPG Tip: Start sessions with a recap. It gets everyone back into character and reminds them what is at stake. Take it up a notch and let the players contribute to the recap by asking them questions. #DnD #TTRPG

RPG Tip: Defeat should matter. When a villain falls, their death should ripple across the world. #DnD #TTRPG

RPG Tip: Let villains be charming. A smile and a kind word can be more unsettling than a threat. 🙂 #DnD #TTRPG

RPG Tip: Give monsters one twist. A skeleton that bleeds sand is scarier than just another skeleton. It also lets you put your own spin on these classic foes. #DnD #TTRPG

RPG Tip: The previous and future tips are parts of a whole. It’s not alone but together where they are most useful. They’re also greater than the sum of their parts. #dnd #ttrpg

RPG Tip: Villains should have victories offscreen. Rumors of their growing power make players take them seriously. It's even better when you can show the results of those victories. #DnD #TTRPG

RPG Tip: Make adversaries escalate. First minions, then champions, then the true threat. Helps with pacing out the threat level and as one way to increase the tension. #DnD #TTRPG

RPG Tip: Let villains monologue occasionally. A glimpse of their worldview makes them human. Wanna make sure they don't get interrupted , do it on their turns in combat. #DnD #TTRPG

RPG Tip: Create lieutenants. A villain’s second-in-command gives personality to their forces and protects your big bads for a little longer...or your PCs if your Big Bads are actually Bad Ass #DnD #TTRPG

RPG Tip: Foreshadow monsters with signs. Claw marks, strange tracks, or whispered legends build suspense and it's fun to make your players guess at what might be coming. #DnD #TTRPG
