Yeah, it can be super tough! Especially in a random tavern where the party just wander off and talk to randoms.

What makes you stick with a long-running game: plot, characters, or people? #DnD

PbP prep today means planning arcs, not scenes. #PbPDnD

Play by Post shines at emotional fallout. Choices land harder when there's time to sit with them. #PlayByPost

Do you run published adventures as-written, adapted, or completely reworked? #DnD

Thinking about supporting different play styles without feeling vague. #TTRPGDesign

Publishing opinion: adventures should assume the DM will change things. Flexibility is a feature. #DnDWriter

What's one piece of lore your players uncovered by accident and became obsessed with? #DnD

Editing player-facing text today. If it doesn't invite curiosity, it needs rewriting. #DnD

DM thought: exposition isn't immersion. Discovery sticks longer than lore dumps. #DnD #DMLife

Looking back on your favourite campaign, what moment defined it for you? #DnD

Wrapping up a solid week of writing and revision. Slow progress still counts. #IndieRPG

Good campaigns aren't about winning. They're about decisions you'll still argue about years later. #DnD

What kind of story keeps you engaged long-term: intrigue, mystery, survival, or drama? #DnD

PbP design means thinking in arcs, not sessions. Momentum comes from consistency. #PbPDnD

Light PbP plug: I have many Play by Post campaigns with a strong narrative focus. #DnD #PlayByPost

DMs: what part of running games takes the most mental energy for you? #DnD

Thinking about the emotional labour DMs quietly do: pacing, tone, spotlight. #GMlife

Tabletop RPGs are collaborative trust exercises. Everyone agrees to take the story seriously — even when it gets weird. #TTRPG

What's the most memorable NPC argument your party ever witnessed? #DnD

NPC design today focused on conflicting motivations instead of secrets. #DnD #Worldbuilding

DM tip: let NPCs disagree. A divided world feels more real than a united one. #DMTips #DnD

When you buy a published adventure, what do you look for first? Maps, story, encounters, or layout? #DnD

Working through layout today. Clear structure beats clever prose once dice hit the table. #TTRPGDesign

Publishing thought: adventures should be written to be used, not admired. #DnDWriter #IndieRPG

If you've played PbP before, what made it work for you? If not, what puts you off? #DnD

PbP gives characters room to explain why they act, not just what they do. #PbPDnD #TTRPG

Play by Post reminder: slower games don't mean lower stakes. They just give consequences time to breathe. #PlayByPost #DnD

What creates more tension at your table: time pressure, limited resources, or moral consequences? #DnD #TTRPGTalk

Editing published material today. The hardest part isn't writing encounters — it's trusting the DM to fill the gaps. #DnD #IndieRPG
