Ran another Daggerheart beginner session at The Arcanist's Tavern. Feel I'm finding my groove with onboarding new players while upholding the essence and flow of the game. I'll be running another one Sept. 15th 🗡️💜

Excited to check this out!
Been working non-stop on this for awhile now, aiming to have it ready for UKGE at the end of the month. Here's a sneaky peek at the Investigator creation rules for Midnight of the Century, my mid-'90s pre-apocalyptic serial killer investigation #TTRPG inspired by MIllennium and Silence of the Lambs.

This Sunday 30th I'll be doing a live #actualplay at Arcanist's Tavern in London. It's going to be a great interactive primer to the world of Aeturnum (which you can then play in every week) and you'll get introduced to the fantastic #ttrpg community of players you can join. Link below 👇

"Scheduling defeats the brave adventuring party."
I've written a one page patch for the new D&D Players Manual where I solve the problem of people's campaigns grinding to a halt because they can't schedule a game.
PDF is the link. Print it out. Stick it in your manuals. May work for other games too. #ttrpg #dnd

Super interesting read that made me more considerate of the language used around "safety tools" in ttrpgs. I've also seen this shift in public drop in drop out games, with pause/communication tools being more prominent over a hard X card style stop

I've been using a coin toss to replace some #DnD rolls for a while. Big Coin Moments™️ frame certain outcomes as letting the gods/fate decide. For narrative moments that technically break the rules, a coin flip takes the pressure off the GM to make a call but offers the excitement of "will it work"

Back after a little holiday hiatus and our first episode of 2025 is out today. New year seems like a great time to try out playing at Level 0!
Would love to hear what the #ttrpg and #dnd communities think about level zero play.
