No #dnd game session this week with the new year throwing us (me) a nice little curveball 🫠

Hopefully however, some time is made for more prep and #map making 👍🏻

• A camp ⛺
• Some forest paths 🌲
• A city wall or two 🧱

Can't have too many random maps for encounters 🫣

A continuation of the below, at the end of this tunnel a large domed cavern emerges, covered in spines and smaller glowing crystals.
Situated within the centre of a pool of water was a large glowing stone... And at its base a giant conducting a ritual, unbothered by their arrival.

Here's a #map for a #dnd session in this campaign arc.

Our group descended the depths of a player's home city, to discover odd crystals and a feeling of lost time, discomfort and disorientation.

At the end of this tunnel they found out why.. a planar pathway to somewhere unknown.

It's two sleeps till Christmas!

Don't forget to get those last sessions in before the pact devil himself, Sandy Claws comes down your chimney to explain every last detail of why you've missed your KPIs of being a good player.

Wonderous items of "Warming Noir-Rock" for you... Just add heat.

We had some good #ttrpg sessions topping off this year.
Our 89th #D&D sesh, the group boarded a vessel to go down the Ice Spear and Rauvin rivers, contemplating their next move.
Our 90th, the group come into contact with some nasty giantkin and revealed a hidden someone in the tower.

I've been trawling through old forgotten realms supplements and the #D&D book "Giant Craft" is a goldmine of fun history and tit bits for our game.

It is going to be interesting to expand the map with an updated #Hartsvale, considering the contradicting scales of maps across all editions.

I wonder if I can get a game table big enough for this thing?

Probs only had 200hp at most.

A fun little evening tonight.
Super fast and easy #boardgames after long days FTW. 🎲 🐍🪜

🦖 Got this set from their Kickstarter; the little boards and funny little "hopeless" quotes bring out the giggles in anyone. 🦕

2-0 to me though 🫣 this #game does seem to work better with more than 2 players.

Taken the plunge and got the Affinity suite to start making my #ttrpg supplement templates.

Such a cleaner space to work in than Gimp and #Adobe, but yeah... not looking forward to another learning curve.

Time to learn how to make #vector vines and creepers for my margin graphics.

Just noticed I've passed 500 followers on Threads! Hopefully I'll gain the same traction here amongst those in the #ttrpg groups and fellow nerds 😁

Started making a region map for Goldenfields using Inkarnates isometric assets.

Not sure how I feel about it, but I'll let it cook. Soon the walls and roads will be finished, then I can start making the variants of it 😁

#ttrpg community, anyone else making maps this weekend, share your process!

One of the best #ttrpg memories of my longest 4e #D&D game was going round people's houses and helping them start a paragon tier character.

Really got to know them personally breaking the ice when the sessions started.

I do enjoy the facet of helping and teaching people being a DM brings 😁

Currently looking through #Pantheons within the #dnd Forgotten Realms setting and my o' my there's a lot... Someone needs to make a spider graph or something highlighting alliances, enemies, domains and the like... would be so much easier than looking through tables and multiple tabs of info.

Wanted to introduce myself on here 😁

Hi! I'm Chris from the UK mostly running #ttrpg #dnd since I was 12.
I'm no pro, but I'm driven by providing a story focused experience for my players.

Currently running a 2 year campaign of Storm Kings Thunder and we have a #podcast! Link in bio & below.

Howdy all #ttrpg DMs, GMs and players. Thought I'd break the ice and showcase my bookcase of #dnd books and 3rd party supplements.

Come share yours 😎
