Managed to parse more monster stats from the Draw Steel pdf so I can show initiative groups as well starting stamina for individuals and minion squads. The next step would probably be some kind of app for it to go along my owlbear legacy install... 🤔

Made an encounter prep spreadsheet for my Draw Steel campaign. It calculates the encounter budget, strength and difficulty based on monster number and EV as well as party size, level and number of victories!

Getting Owlbear Rodeo Legacy working (with a proper STUN/TURN server) was more work than I originally thought. It'll have to do for now until Draw Steel's Codex VTT launches its 1.0 version. github.com/owlbear-rode...

Preparing spells in 5e isn't fun for me. I'd rather try a Blades in the Dark approach: as you cast spells from your spell list, only then they become prepared.

This coding-modularsynth-browser-based-editor thing is kind of amazing. 🤔

Swamps! With ruins, a smuggler’s hut 🛖 and the mouth of a cave! Should be great for Angulotl and Lizardfolk encounters…

Kid1 suggested that my tiny town with tiny houses needed tiny pieces of furniture 🪑 I think they’re right!

Trying my hand out wooden palisades (not sure I nailed it but am happy with them). Added a few houses and a stone watchtower in the bailey beneath the castle walls.

Realized that I probably needed a keep and a town to save! Also the two wells should be connected somehow… most likely catacombs running through a Radenwight lair! And leafing through Draw Steel’s monster book to see what could emerge from that cave entrance!

Drawing these maps for Draw Steel makes me realize that it encourages inserting more tactical affordances in them. The map screams for ledges to let PCs push creatures off them and thin walls to throw enemies through them. Wondering what class abilities and combos might benefit from the map itself 🤔

Last (?) hand-drawn map for future Draw Steel game! Elevated platforms, breakable stone walls, tortuous corridors with multiple entryways for skirmishers and ambushes… and a secret passage!

Another hand-drawn map for an upcoming Draw Steel game! Larger cavern with different elevation elements and bridges. Great for snipers, hexers, and exploration skills.

Small hand-drawn dungeon with a hidden cave for a future Draw Steel game! Plenty of space for traps and secret passages.

Prepping for warfare with MCDM's rules and need a battlefield grid?
After having won the Demon Grand Prix, the PCs are defending their new stronghold in Hell from an invading undead army! #dnd

The fun part of GMing, for me, is finding the line that pushes the PCs’ character sheet to their extreme limit and then crossing that line so that it’s the players who have to find solutions using resources that aren’t on paper. They need to dig deep and think outside the PHB! #dnd #ttrpg

Starting to think that the best way to play casual Commander is for a group to buy all 4 precons from a set, with sleeves, and to just play with that. Everyone tries all decks and eventually hold finales. Winner gets first pick for the deck they get to keep, runner up gets second pick, etc. #mtg

I might be showing my age but the idea of office hoteling is completely unappealing to me. It’s the company basically just saying “Stay home!” - which is especially jarring when paired with a mandatory 3 day RTO policy.

Ran a special “mad max / thunder road vendetta” style race for our dnd game tonight! Adapted the chase mechanics from SavageWorld for 5e and sprinkled in some flashbacks from Blades in the Dark in the mix to create a sort of montage. Absolute blast!!
