Just remember, you don’t need the perfect plan—you just need a plan.
And a backup.
And probably a Cleric.

How's everyone doing on this lovely Saturday? Easy question today...What's your go-to class?

Are you always the battle-hardened fighter? A chaotic bard? A wizard with a plan? Let's hear it! 👇

We teamed up with First Street Brewing this year to spread the word about The Dungeon at First Street—a monthly D&D night for adventurers of all levels! Supporting local businesses & building community? That’s a nat 20 in our book. 🎲🍻 #DungeonsandDragons

Saturday #ttrpg mood: sitting back, sipping coffee, and realizing I still have zero notes prepped for next session. Guess I'll just have to wing it again.

Fun one today! Which D&D creature would make the worst Valentine? 💔

Mind Flayer – Loves you for your brain. 🧠
Beholder – Literally too many red flags. 👀
Mimic – You never know if it's real. 🏠👅
Gelatinous Cube – Smothering, but not in a good way. 😬

Let us know your thoughts in the comments! 👇

Another Friday has rolled around, #TTRPGCommunity. Who is playing this weekend and what are you up to in your campaigns? We know you all are killing it! 🔥 So let's hear about it in the comments! 👇👍

Me when the DM starts rolling the damage dice after they ask if a 37 hits....😆🔥😮 #DungeonsandDragons #TTRGP #D&D

DMs: If your players had to describe your #ttrpg / #dnd campaign in three words, what would they say? Bonus points if you tag them to confirm. 😅

Here is a TTRPG thought for the day: The best characters aren’t the most powerful—they’re the ones with the best stories and are rarely optimized.

Tell us about a character you played who was terrible on paper but amazing in the game? 🔥🧙‍♂️⚔️💯

The official D&D rules say a round of combat is only six seconds long. That means a full minute of in-game time COULD include ten fireballs, ten raging barbarians, and at a minimum ten poor life choices....feels kinda like the month of January did. Am I right?! 😅😆

We all know DMs have secrets they keep at the table. Here are some that you might assume have happened:

- We make up 50% of the things on the spot. 🎭
- We want you to succeed (mostly). 😉
- That ‘deadly’ encounter? Scaled mid-fight. ⚖️

What other secrets are you sly DMs harboring? We won't tell!

DM Tip incoming! 🔥

When your players derail your carefully crafted plans, don't panic. It's ok to take a break and recalibrate. Sometimes, these moments create even better sessions...and your players will never know things went awry.

How do you handle things going sideways in your sessions?

Quick tip on world building 🌍✨:

Start small. Too often burn out occurs because we want to create an entire world up front and then subsequently get lost in "all the things". Keeping it small it takes the pressure off you and now you can leverage your players for ideas to make it grow — Good luck! 🔥

Pro tip for new players - If you want to learn how to play D&D or any TTRPG, just speak up.

Last night's session was intense. Had a dragon summoning gem stolen from us and then ended up in a vampire den in the slums of Baldur's Gate. 😁😅🧛‍♂️🦇 We ended running into this dude saying he wanted to "test us"....great. lol

Tonight's the night! We venture back to Baldur's Gate after encountering Arkhan the Cruel in the mines outside town up to some sketchy crap....also someone in the party turned into a Werebear...NBD.
