Would you like to see the very best* adventures for sale for old school D&D and its OSR successors? At a glance and in one place? DriveThruRPG doesn't make this easy – they prefer to promote the new hotness – but I've done the work, I've written the code, and you can see the results here:

* If by best we mean "most sales since becoming available on DriveThruRPG".

RPG tip from the archive: Ask players what the name of their new magic item is. Let them come up with silly ones until a good one comes out.

RPG tip: Include two or three factions to dungeons so players have groups to work against other groups.

So I've had this idea...

Virtual tabletops have been around for a LONG time. Roll20, Foundry, D&D Beyond, and others, all fine options. I'd even consider old-school MUDs part of the VTT lineage.

But something always felt clunky about these. They never fully manage to hide the seams where things have been glued together. Some things that are easy to do at the table are extremely difficult to do on a computer.

My idea is, what if I designed a #TTRPG specifically for the #VTT I'm building?

Could you recommend me any blogposts / analysis about different expressions of hope in #ttrpg #gameDesign ?

I'm sure a lot of people wrote about it, but is any text especially worthwhile?

I don't mean just #daggerheart "hope" tokens, but also #wanderhome, Legacy: Life Among The Ruins, Dream Askew/Apart, #ryuutama . Doesn't need to be post-apocalyptic.

Any games which "train" people to hope?

Worthwhile jams:
