I’m in Belgium, in the beautiful city of Ghent. Yet there’s something here related to Dungeons & Dragons, but I can’t quite recall what it is… 🤔 #bg3 #dnd @larianstudios.com

The D&D adventure anthology #DragonDelves releases today. Ten adventures, ten dragons, and some trippy art! It was, for me, a particularly fun project to work on. Thanks to all the amazing artists, art directors, writers, editors, graphic designers, etc. who worked on it.

Worldbuilding Tip 23: If you want consequences of actions in your world to be vast and deep, you almost need to create multiple worlds as you create the first one. Who's in the village at the start of the events that play out, and then who is still around when the potential devastation happens?

Worldbuilding Tip 13: Knowing the plots of your adventures or stories help fill in details. Start with a solid core of world elements, but then add story and plot to the list of necessary references you use when you're building. Who are the characters helping, and who opposes them and why?

Skill challenges have always fascinated me. The core design suffered from a lot of the process dysfunction that sank 4e, but I think the core idea makes a lot of sense. I've taken another tilt at that windmill over on my Patreon. Core works with any D&D-like game.

Today I retire from Wizards of the Coast after 28 years. With D&D’s 50th anniversary wrapping up and the revised rulebooks doing gangbusters, this is the perfect fairytale ending for me. I can’t wait to enjoy D&D purely as a fan again, knowing the game is in good hands. See you in the Feywild!

Alright. I appreciate that you all have not fired me from my self appointed position as the TSR/D&D tour director on gross negligence grounds. So I am back and ready to resume! Up today from 1981 is the iconic module, L1: The Secret of Bone Hill. Here are my 1st print in original shrink copies.

FRPG GM Tip: Nothing in any game functions in isolation. In any encounter — combat or otherwise — stay open to what the characters’ actions in that encounter might lead to next. For every villain or NPC, think about what else they might do in addition to their primary narrative goal.

We roll on with our D&D/TSR release tour, currently in the year 1980. Up today is an incredibly important setting release, the first since OD&D was published a few years before: The World of Greyhawk folio. Here is my 5th printing in original shrink and my 2nd print copy.

FRPG Player Tip: Arguments and disagreements can make for great roleplaying. But unless you know your group well and have established suitable boundaries, don’t look to create real conflict between characters. An adventuring party is about strength in numbers, and conflict eats away that strength.

To design games, your brain must work a bit differently. To create worlds, your brain must work a bit differently. To create stories and adventures, your brain must work a bit differently. You can only be so different. Get help in your #ttrpg creations when needed. Have a great gaming weekend!
