This past weekend I got to play my kobold monk Longmaw! He slayed a couple demons with his wand of magic missiles and was entrusted with the protection of a goblin knight's daughter
(He also saw the demonic incursion as a great chance to acquire an instant fortress)

This week we're taking a look at Dungeondraft! A great tool for making battlemaps for use in your games.
Point of Inspiration! Dungeondraft
Happy Friday! This week I’m introducing a small change. What used to be called our “Weekly Rec” Is being renamed, “Point of Inspiration.” This just feels more thematically in line. This weeks Point of Inspiration is coming from Dungeondraft! Now, unlike my past couple of recommendations this isn’t a show or a book. Dungeondraft is a map making tool from Megasploot perfect for creating maps for any TTRPG you may find yourself playing and/or running.

Using adventure books can be a great way to start running games!
Getting Started with Adventure Books!
It can be pretty daunting taking the first steps into running tabletop games. When I ran my first game I was racked with anxiety from a number of questions, “what if my players don't like my story?” “What if I forget everything I’ve prepared?” and many other self doubting thoughts. In addition to self doubt making my entry into GMing difficult, I was also just flat out unsure where to start.

Adventure Book Review: Light of Xaryxis
This week I thought back on one of my recently finished campaigns reflected on how each session went. I found that I had some strong opinions about the experience of running straight out of a campaign/adventure book.(These are books that provide a full campaign to be played at the table). The experience was overall fun but I’d be lying if I said there weren’t times I felt too boxed in or confused by seemingly random inclusions from time to time.

A major lesson, that seems pretty obvious looking back now, is that worldbuilding isn't something that'll stop when I start running the campaign, it keeps going and growing exponentially with the addition of the players as they come and add their flair and give more shape to the world and story

In this book of essays and in another book I read, Atomic Habits, it's a big point that it doesn't matter when/how (I suppose with habits it may matter how) you start but it's more important that you start. This has been pretty striking for me as I try to break into more of the goals I've set

Today I'm reading the Kobold Guide to Worldbuilding vol 2.
It's giving me a lot of ways to structure how I think about the campaign I'm working on and how to effectively dedicate my creative energy
