I stream D&D world building with the assistance of AI tools, and share them for FREE.
Stuck on making a backstory? Brewhouse Tavern's got a tool for that.

GM Tip: Use the environment as a threat. Failing lights, stale air, distant noises. Tension rises when the setting itself seems to work against the players.#ttrpg #dnd #rpg

I'm doing some casual ✨narratology✨ (the study of storytelling) reading while thinking about D&D, and Y'ALL I know I hammer on about this but TTRPGs are absolutely buckwild narratively. Let me explain: 🧵

GM Tip: Let locations evolve. A city under siege, a ruined keep rebuilt, a forest overtaken by strange growth. Change shows that time matters.

Let me show you what we came up with.

You can see these and other backstories, cities, NPCs, and more on bit.ly/brewhousetav...

I have a new CustomGPT to share with you that allows you to use the prompts I've already shared to help create immersive worlds using AI, using much simpler requests. Come on by the Brewhouse Tavern

Created some really cool AI art today on www.twitch.tv/brewhouse_ta...

We also learned the secret of the Dreamcircle.

If you'd like to use this art or any of the lore that I'm building, you can find it at www.notion.so/Brewhouse-Ta...

The NPCs I created last time started to tell an intriguing story so I'm going to add some detail to "The Dreamcircle," and then I'm going to work on adding some AI art to my towns and characters. Come on by.

Today on www.twitch.tv/brewhouse_ta.... We created Aerie. A place for Birds of Prey lycans. The middle of the mountain is known as "The Sheer Market" It would be near impossible for anyone who can't fly to visit the shops here.

Brewhouse Tavern will be LIVE to continue adding to my lycan happy world. Come see if there's anything you want to steal.

On Twitch, I share the prompts I use to create immersive towns and character for D&D. This is Minta Tailsway, a were-housecat who runs The Purring Hearth on the caldera of a dormant volcano which is a pilgrimage site for many kinds of were-felines.

Planning to go LIVE at 12:30JST; 11:30AM CST where I'll be worldbuilding a Dungeons and Dragons setting where Lycanthropy has spread to nearly the entire population. I'll show how I use AI to generate ideas and art to create an immersive and lived in feeling.

My first attempt at streaming was a terrible failure. I failed to click "Start Streaming" and talked for an hour and a half.

I'm about to hit 5k followers.

So how about a give away?

Like and repost this, and I'll enter everyone who does into a draw to win a full set of my British Fantasy Award nominated Empire of Ruin series!

Good luck - I'll do the draw this Friday afternoon :)

Thought I had a joke about Sisyphus, but it never paid off.
I have a joke about Odysseus, but it takes forever to get to the end.
Had a joke about Orpheus but I looked back on it.

GM Tip: While there's no need to prepare every detail, don't under-prepare because you were afraid your efforts would be wasted. Nothing you make is ever wasted. You can use it later, in this campaign or the next. Even if you never use it, the practice still made you a better GM.

I think a lot of DM's, especially new DMs, and maybe some *players* don't realize that a meaningful percentage of your average session is, and should be, the players playing off EACH OTHER. They roleplay. They generate their own content and the DM can just watch and listen.

Several players at the store I've been DMing D&D Adventurers League at have expressed interest in learning how to DM, so I'm working on a "So you want to be a Dungeon Master" workshop for them.

I've got a good amount of ideas and insight to share, but if anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears

If you're a fan of Indiana sports, @kentsterling.bsky.social is a must watch. Great analysis. Great attitude. I'd stop by just for his sign off line.

@annethegnome.bsky.social has been one of my favorite follows over the past month.
The account delivers fantastic TTRPG content, and recently reactions for a first watch through of Star Trek TNG 🤩

I've been enjoying ceeg's posts. This account posts high impact, intelligent humor.

For example: polymarket is taking bets on whether or not someone is going to kick me in the nuts on saturday. I find the incentives somewhat troubling

Give 'em a look and a follow.

Used my time machine to bring Socrates, Confucius, and Machiavelli together for a “Philosopher’s Dinner” but because none of us speak the same language I can’t explain what’s going on and the whole vibe has turned very “hostage situation”

Revisiting Hemingway. When I first read him, I was reading the thoughts of an old(er) man. Now when I read him, I'm reading the words of a young(er) man. There should be a word for the jarring feelings experienced upon returning to books/authors you haven't read for many many years.
