One underrated aspect of running a WOTC adventure is all the discussion and resources you can find online about it. Maps, handouts, mechanics, etc. to help spice things up.

#WIPWednesday? More like WIP5YearsAndStillTryingToWriteIt 😭

my hobby is writing niche stories that have a potential interested audience of about 3 people

honestly it was pretty easy... you just fill out a form on their website ahead of time. doesnt seems like they did much verification on me or my presentation lol

I plan to be at Fan Expo: SF in November! Giving panels is such a life hack for free badges :P

I feel like that'd be up your alley?

Ran my first ever panel at Galaxy Con: San Jose this past weekend on dungeon design. Had a blast!

Next step will be running a panel on self-publishing at Fan Expo: SF in November.

yep i do this too- travel includes daily campfire questions that act as a break between action and a way for players to explore their characters.

sourdough starters feels like a thing i’m gonna get into in 2037 or something

Orchid plant with 2 thin stems. 3 flowers on left stem, 1 on right with additional buds on both. Flowers are pink/purple in color.

this orchid has been the easiest plant i’ve ever taken care of. BUT !!! i had to do a bit of research to figure out what it specifically needs.

imagine if you had to keep an orchid alive for 2 months before you were allowed to have kids (/s?)

Someone asked what advice I would give a young person who wants to make a living as a writer, or live a creative life.

I think this is as good an answer as I'll ever come up with.

👍 looking forward to checking it out!

are you using jetpack compose or xml files? as a fellow mobile dev with dnd apps on the side, would love to chat more!

Four dice held in a hand, all various shades of black and orange. Foremost one is black with orange and purple inking.

@colemk.bsky.social Well… add it to the collection i guess! 🤪 ⚾️ 🎲

my plan (in about 10 years, when i finally finish the project) is to use drivethrurpg's pod. are there issues with current pod services that you would aim to fix?

Daily cat calendar. April 1 entry shows a long-haired, fluffy grey cat sitting upright and facing the camera. March 31 entry shows a grey tuxedo cat peeking out from under a blanket or tablecloth.

Daily cat calendar. Best $5 ever spent.

these are nice tips if your players end up needing hints. however I try to avoid these issues altogether by staying away from puzzles that are the escape room / mind-reading required types. video game type puzzles with concrete mechanics the players can interact with have been much better for me.

4x4 grid and 2x3 grid of pepper seedlings. Each is 1 inch tall with two thin leaves at the top like a T.

Hot peppers!

5e Travel Simulator – iOS & Android app Generates travel scenarios and encounters for your 5e games. Helps promote exploration, world building, and role play.

yeah, works well for us (although obviously no system can be perfect)

Archery contest minigame. Forest background with archery targets. d20 dice in center for player to roll their result.

List of downtime activities: Signature item crafting, searching for treasure, finding a job, performing, socializing, research, spying, archery contest, arm wresting, gladiator fights, drinking contest, hesit, gambling

Between sessions I give the players recap questions to answer and allow them to complete a downtime activity. Doing so earns them inspiration! I created a mobile app, Dnd Character Journal, that helps facilitate downtime activities (among other things)

"There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable it is, nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open.... "No artist is pleased. ... [There is no] satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others." —Martha Graham to Agnes de Mille, Martha: The Life and Work of Martha Graham

For all the creatives out there, wanted to share this quote I came across (in a George Carlin book, of all places). Definitely inspired me to keep doing what i'm doing.

Deep space nine space station with 4 hanging ships

New favorite decoration: Deep Space Nine ornament. Has little hooks on the upper pylons and docking ring for ships. The quality and creativity of the 90s - early 2000s ornaments blows me away. Feels like they’d never make this kinda stuff today.

advice is always great! what i find most engaging is interesting conversations and discussions. ie: bsky.app/profile/dmda...

are you only interested in published adventures? lots of star trek episodes make for great one-shots if you can adapt them
