RPG Tip: Keep a “big list of names.” Pulling a quick NPC from it keeps immersion strong. #DnD #TTRPG

RPG Tip: Do not overload your prep. A few strong hooks beat dozens of unused notes. You prep to be comfortable when playing. #DnD #TTRPG

RPG Tip: Learn to pace. Tough skill to learn. Alternate between tension and relief to keep the table engaged. See Hamlet's Hit Points to get started. #DnD #TTRPG

RPG Tip: Use index cards for NPCs. A name, quirk, and goal is enough to keep them alive in memory. Then you can have an NPC rolodex . #DnD #TTRPG

RPG Tip: Keep dice on the table. Visible rolls build trust and drama. Making that last death save in the open is quite a moment and who doesn’t love to see the nat 20 to either cheer or jeer. #DnD #TTRPG

RPG Tip: Do a quick “stars and wishes” at the end. Celebrate what worked and learn what to add next time from both what people enjoyed and want to see in the future. #DnD #TTRPG

RPG Tip: Use props when possible. A handout, coin, or puzzle makes the world tangible and lets us be a part of the game world just a little bit. #DnD #TTRPG

This morning we started Fury of the Forsaken by @louanders.bsky.social's Lazy Wolf Studios, using his Thrones & Bones setting. I really don't want to spoil too much, because there are a lot of fun ins and outs and mysteries that play into the plot.

RPG Tip: Track initiative in plain sight. Visible order helps keep combat flowing smoothly. Players will sometimes plan more interesting things when they can see what’s coming and when it’s about to be the dragon's turn that tension starts to rise. #DnD #TTRPG

RPG Tip: Music helps sets mood. Battle drums, tavern fiddles, or eerie whispers add instant atmosphere. If you can do this without slowing your game down then it'll enhance a lot about your game. #DnD #TTRPG

RPG Tip: Set table expectations. Talk about tone, rules, and style. Add in the extras that make your table play best before the dice hit the table. #DnD #TTRPG

RPG Tip: Start sessions with a recap. It gets everyone back into character and reminds them what is at stake. Take it up a notch and let the players contribute to the recap by asking them questions. #DnD #TTRPG

RPG Tip: Defeat should matter. When a villain falls, their death should ripple across the world. #DnD #TTRPG

RPG Tip: Let villains be charming. A smile and a kind word can be more unsettling than a threat. 🙂 #DnD #TTRPG
