Another banger from the legally-distinct floating eye orb

YouTube video by Trekiros Game Designer Fixes: Daggerheart's Starter Adventure

Daggerheart Tip: Don't Hog the Spotlight (Especially in Combat)! Ft. @trekiros.bsky.social

YouTube video by Corkboards & Curiosities The ONE principle that fixed my crappy action scenes (D&D / TTRPG)

I did a small cameo in the latest video by Val from Corkboards & Curiosities!
Go watch it, she told me she'll punch me if you don't

3: Uncaged

It's an anthology of adventures written by women, which take female enemies, and gives them the depth they deserved all along.
It will give you a new appreciation for monsters you might have skipped over before, from medusas and mariliths, all the way to Llolth, Blibdoolpoolp, etc...

2: The Armorer's Handbook, by Heavyarms

What this crafting supplement does is that it turns players' gear into long-term projects: they'll spend the entire campaign ...and thousands of golds, improving it.
I've used this supplement for over 4 years now, and I will basically never run D&D without it

1: Home-Field Advantage, by... ME! :D

It's a 240-page CHONKER of a book, which gives Lair Actions to basically every single 5e monster that could realistically build themselves a lair.
The lair actions are designed to keep your boss fights fresh by giving your players problems to solve

@dmsguild.com has put out a Humble Bundle for the first time ever!
For just over 20 bucks, you can get $270 worth of D&D books - that's over 90% off, on some of the greatest third party supplement 5e has ever seen!

Here are my top 3 recommendations for you to check out from the bundle (🧵 )

A gif I exported from tomorrow's video release.

If critical role campaign 4 is set in a tidally-locked world, I will go crazy (bad crazy not good crazy)

YouTube video by Trekiros Removing initiative from my game?

I haven't streamed in ages, but right now I'm working on something that lends itself very well to taking input from the crowd: filling up random tables.

What I think is the most important takeaway from my Daggerheart review

I honestly hadn’t had any interest in trying Daggerheart until this review. Thanks Trek!

Worth a watch for the TTRPG-playing chemists and data analysts out there who don’t consider themselves theatre kids.

YouTube video by Trekiros Game Designer Reviews: Daggerheart

New video out now! This a review of @criticalrole.bsky.social's newest game, Daggerheart!
I tried to talk about things that surprised me and how the game felt in play, so this is a pretty in-depth review! Hope you enjoy!

YouTube video by Trekiros Steal my Dungeon (it's a... travel encounter?)

New video is up!
This time we talk about travel encounters, five room dungeons, and how they fit with one another

I think this could even be shown *before* the answer is locked in

But overall, really cool game, looking forward to the full release

Another "objective" measure of success could be to compare the score we got, to the median or average score of all valid words in the current situation. That way instead of "50% of the best word", you could show "260% of the average score!" and make people feel good about themselves

-Mostly out of curiosity, I think it'd be nice to have the best possible word (along with the point total) shown after you've locked in your answer. Maybe show a percentage to show how close you were to it, with a rating like "Great, you got over 50% of the best possible score here!"

Wishlisted!

Some demo feedback:
-the current music starts quiet but gets really loud once the percussions start to kick in, which for me happened during the choice of the modifier so I wasn't able to access the menu to turn it down

I buy consoles about 5-7 years after they come out but I’m happy for all of you or sorry that happened.

Right now if I have a doubt I just check that the artist has art older than 2022
...that's not sustainable though because any new artist starting today is a false positive. But I don't have anything better

Ooh I like the idea of using the token to display facing direction.

Whenever I want to try a big mechanics change in Flare Fall, I create a 1-5 page RPG to test the change in isolation

Sooo enjoy this 4-page version of Flare Fall, with its upcoming "cascade" style action economy :p

...I thought CRT meant Cathode Ray Tube, and was wondering why Smash Bros players were involved, for a moment
...then I remembered and got mental whiplash

Ooh that's kinda sick
