Yeah, it's been wild. Even if it ends up not being seen by anyone at least it was a good opportunity to vent!

Also really weird if you hit Next Blog ---> ๐Ÿ˜…

An open letter to Keir Starmer:

Slightly different from my normal blogs! I wanted to send the UK Prime Minister a message about my struggles with #LongCovid and PIP, but the #No10 website only allows short messages. So it's Public: reecednd.blogspot.com/2025/03/open...

New blog! This time, I dive into a trap my players outsmarted and how I'll make it better next time. This trap even included my first-ever use of the Flail Snail! โœจ๐ŸŒโœจ

Check it out and let me know how you would improve this trap: reecednd.blogspot.com/2025/01/my-f...

Its amazing, my mega dungeon has so many undead in it and not one player has picked to play a cleric! I was expecting loads of them.

My players in my Mega Dungeon campaign have been building a camp. At this point it's now a village, so cool to see stuff like this grow over the months.

Do you have any other good ideas on what my players can spend money on? #ttrpg #osr

The Provisionerโ€™s Playbook A shopping strategy guide.

The Provisionerโ€™s Playbook just got posted on my Mega Dungeon campaign Discord. It's an excellent read for adventurers of any level! Flour has also been very clutch in my game, it was used to find invisible traps! open.substack.com/pub/vaultsof...

How do you balance player/your fun with how you run your game? When I roll a deadly monster as an encounter I sometimes ignore change that roll as I would rather make more progress in the dungeon.

I got into DND for the battles and now when I GM fights often seem like a waste of time. #ttrpg #osr
