RPG Tip: Recycle unused plot hooks, NPCs, or maps later; players will never know they were leftovers and it can save you the legwork of having to make it from scratch.

RPG Tip: Share narrative control—invite players to describe details or outcomes to keep them invested and to ease your load as the game master at the table.

RPG Tip: Adjust challenge mid-game: soften encounters if players struggle, or escalate if they’re breezing through. Don't be rigid.

I have become mildly obsessed with trying to recreate the 1994 #wh40k space marines using modern parts. Left is the original model, right is the digital conversion. Can't wait to crack out some old school marines.

Had a blast painting these classic 2nd edition space marines for #wh40k today. These simpler, older sculpts are full of such character and are a joy to paint.

RPG Tip: In moments of low energy surprisingly declare to the players 'Oh wait, hold on, lemme just check something!' then flip through the rulebook looking perturbed. After a few moments, smile, close the book declare 'ah... nothing...' and then ask for the next action.

Magic is 5e is a bit dull, despite the fact thar fantasy is almost certainly the most magical genre. How did we go from Vance to this?

RPG Tip: Don't be withholding about information during investigations and mysteries - do the opposite. The players need more than you realise to put the clues together. Being generous with information helps them figure out what is actually going on.

RPG Tip: Using a reward such as bonus xp or feats to incentivise players determining their character's race and/or class randomly can help players and whole parties break out of their comfort zone and find enjoyment playing character types they'd normally shun.

RPG Tip: When designing a city or large suburban area, also trace the major sewer channels over a copy of the map. Having such a resource handy will always be useful when running sprawling urban adventures.
