I think there's actually a good #ttrpg under a lot of #dnd bloat. In this week's post I talk about what #rules I leave on the editing room floor to make the game a better experience for my players โœ‚๏ธ๐Ÿค—

Hey folks, I do love dice mechanics! This is my first in a series of posts exploring them in detail.

Today's post identifies the constituent parts of the 'dice loop' in TTRPGs

#LiesByOmission is an investigative #horror #TTRPG based on 1970s Italian #Giallo cinema.

If you like the niche and prefer your games to have a #narrative story driven focus, it could well be the one for you!

Their crowdfund is active now, check out my first look below if you fancy a read ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‘บ

I got a PDF copy of #Huckleberry RPG to pick through and review before the #Backerkit launches today!

It's folkloric horror cowboy action, but did it leave me fanning my revolvers under the noon sun, or with a snake in my boot?

Clue: "Pyow! Pyow! Pyow! Pyow!"

I made my own #AppendixN for my #GM influences when I'm running #TTRPG sessions.

What's on your list?

#CriticalRole mentioned #WestMarches on their recent fireside chat, and I'm glad they did as it gives me an excuse to talk about it ๐Ÿ˜‚

Short one, but although it's not anything groundbreaking - if you're new to being a #GM or #DM then an #Oracle dice might be super handy for you!

Lost Mine of #Phandelver is generally a well considered #TTRPG adventure. I remember trying to run it two times before, earlier in my GM career, and both times it fell through!

Third time's the charm, but was it worth the effort? Probably not, on balance!

As a #GM do you ever feel completely side swiped by a player's clever action at the table, and you respond in a way that could have been better with more thought applied?

I do. I suspect it's a classic misalignment between #prep and creativity, combined with panic!

How do you fix it?
