Hello adventurers,

I’ve been working once again with @bardic.tools to create some new chilling horror ambiances.

It has evolved a lot since our first collaboration, and I cannot recommend it enough, as it has turned into my got to audio soundscape.

Happy hunting,

Kris

I’ve been obsessing for weeks: We should film a high-quality show where I interview amazing GMs for their tips.

4 guests in mind, but great production is 💸…

Eff it.

A very kind user at UKGE came to our stand and brough to my attention that one of the two fonts in Bardic Tools is really hard to read for people with Dyslexia, to the point of *gasp* distracting them a lot during the game.

Unacceptable!

So here it is, a toggle to use a much friendlier font #dnd

It’s #SelfPromoSaturday, so I figured I’d share one of my favourite features from Bardic Tools!!

Uploading sounds to your RPG tool should be as easy as this 👇👇👇👇

I'm unreasonably proud of this new feature in bardic.tools

"Will I one-shot the bard with my Fireball?"

Ah, the age-old question.

To help with that, we've just released a new small, gorgeous calculator for #dnd5e (and #ttrpg that uses dice). Try it now down here 👇👇👇👇

It is done.

Our heroes defeated the avatares of the Dark Powers, and for the first time in many lifetimes, the Sun rose over Barovia.

We all cried good tears 😭😭😭

Tomorrow, it may very well be the last session of a 4-year Curse of Strahd campaign. 73 sessions 😱

I'm now preparing a playlist called "Fighting the Gods", and I'm getting a SO hyped. And little emotional, honestly 🥲

It's not how it ends in the book, but I wouldn't change a thing.

For this #SelfPeomoSaturday, I have an old walkthrough of the main features in Bardic Tools, the #ttrpg soundboard I’m building !

As you’ll quickly tell, I’m a much better programmer than youtuber :D

Great thing about using paper standees instead of minis for #DnD?

You can more easily represent, say, when a dragon tears its own broken wing off to hit the players with it.
February 8, 2025 at 12:42 PM
My players are facing a ancient white dragon tomorrow, at the top of Mt.Ghakis (:D)

What kind of sound effects should I use for that fight?

You have prepared the perfect music playlist for your players. The perfect forest ambience.

For next session, you want “the same music, but in a mountain”

Just copy the whole thing!

I can’t believe I never thought of this until a Discord user asked for it.

... Look.

Sometimes you're building a farm scene for D&D.

Sometimes, finding the perfect sound for a D&D soundboard is hard.

Sometimes... you have to experiment.

And sometimes, those experiments end up creating a *demonic pig sound* 🐽

Sorry. 🐽

Here are the most cool things that came to our #DnD soundboard this month (long version here: blog.bardic.tools/bardic-tools...).

1.- 164 new sounds, including a myriad of professionally-produced gems like this one (use headphones at your own peril. Read the name. It's gross.):

It’s always a great day to go out and capture some interesting sounds for #DnD.

Did you know that a bathtub draining sounds exactly like a big, mood, slimy monster growling in an abandoned mansion?

Sometimes, you want to make that Persuasion check hard, no matter how good that Bard is at charming your NPCs. 😈

What should the DC be?

Here’s another tiny, gorgeous free calculator to help you figure it out:
