The Digital DM

What is the point of fighting in TTRPGs if you can't lose?

I believe this is why so many DMs and players alike complain about "boring combat" as it has no stakes.

Loss can come in many forms and is more than just character death.

Put a favorite NPC friend or magical item at risk.

Your job as a Dungeon Master is not to make sure everyone HAS fun.

Your job is to create an environment where everyone CAN have fun.

The emotions of your players is outside your control, but you should provide the setting and space for fun if the player wishes to engage.

While it may not be the first place you would think of for #TTRPG content, I have found Pinterest to be a great resource for finding artwork for my games. It is very good at suggesting additional art that matches the style of what you’ve already pinned/uploaded.

In case anyone needs a thematic threat for their D&D characters today…

Meet Mr. Shadowpaws, one of my players familiar:
“It's an eldritch horror with a cat face painted on the front of a cardboad box on it's head, the lore will be that my character is so clueless it doesn't realize that it's not actually a cat and everybody else just goes along with it”

Gearing up to run my favorite #TTRPG campaign of Eberron using Pathfinder 2E Remastered ruleset. I’m excited to see if Pathfinder’s focus on constantly acquiring new magical gear matches perfectly with Eberron’s wide availability of magic items as I believe it will.

Wolves Upon the Coast Grand Campaign by lukegearing A 'dark ages' hexcrawl.

If you are looking for a good hexcrawl for your players, I would recommend Wolves Upon the Coast.

It is a huge 51x32 hex campaign with a Dark Ages feel.

Comes with it's own built in system, but easy to convert to your standard OSR system of choice.

Nothing worse than waking up sick the day before dnd night and wondering what sorcery you must perform to be well enough to play the next day 😂

“I can handle morally grey monsters in my fantasy world, but women being stronger than men is where I draw the line!” /s

At first I wondered if that was ever a thing to even argue about, but then I remembered some of the other things Gygax said and I was like “yeah that tracks”. Still unfortunate it is still a topic worth discussing at this point though.
