November's issue of d12 Monthly, my #DnD zine, will be a mini-bestiary, covering Beasts & Magical Beasts. Subsequent issues will cover other monster types. There are no stats, rather it will focus on the ecology and behaviour of the various monsters. #DungeonsAndDragons #TTRPG

Ooooh, this looks grand! A lot of work has gone into this by the looks. "265 pages, 77,400 words, 71 tables, 220 human-hand illustrations." That's impressive! yumdm.short.gy/SkullBestiary

I'm trialling a new search feature on my website that lets you search old school #DnD blogs. It's in beta stage right now, but I would love for you to try it out & to suggest more #TTRPG blogs to add. They need to be old school focused: yumdm.short.gy/TTRPGsearch

I've been thinking about my current #DnD #SoloRPG campaign (using 3e) and where I see it going. Currently, I'm going in & out and mapping only a small amount of new sections. I'm thinking I should delve really deep - Underdark deep. On extended journeys. #DungeonsAndDragons

I'm releasing two issues for October, one being my annual #Halloween issue. This is a sneak peak at the draft cover. I will be leaning into the undead in this issue, but with a twist. And a new world-changing enemy will be released! #DungeonsAndDragons #TTRPG #DnD

Using the tiles from the #Descent boardgame, you could easily come up with a random map generator for your #DnD game. And use #OSE (any other any rules) to play through it. It would suit small, 5-room dungeons (and outdoor areas). #DungeonsAndDragons #TTRPG

I have a weekend of movies & gaming ahead of me. I've been resting quite a bit due to some surgeries, so this weekend I'll be watching some horror with my daughter, and my two-player #DnD campaign will continue in-person! (We normally play online). #DungeonsAndDragons #TTRPG

I had a great session last night for my 2-player #OSE #DnD campaign. I got to use two monsters I've never used before: the Gas Spore & the Tween. The latter saved a PC from certain death after the former exploded. The PCs made it out alive with loot!

This arrived today. Another to add to my collection. It has some nice #DnD articles in it. One on what happens after death, and a mini scenario.

Another boon of running a #DnD campaign with just two players is scheduling. Getting everyone to turn up for games is a lot easier! The more players you add, the harder it becomes. #DungeonAndDragons #TTRPG

D&D Solo-Roleplaying – Choosing Your Focus
One of the biggest challenges in solo roleplaying – especially in an old-school Dungeons & Dragons style game – is deciding what your sessions are about.

I've been watching a lot of caving videos to get a feel for how natural caves look for when I play #DnD. Imagine these images with flickering torch light and monsters, and this is how deadly they could be.

I made up my third #ADnD character - a Dwarven Cleric. So, for my party, I have a Dwarven Cleric, a Human Fighter, A Gnome Illusionist/Thief. I need one more: Druid or F/MU/Th?
