Just got my copy of City of Arches by @slyflourish. You did a great job, Mike. The hardcover is beautiful. #ttrpg #DnD


RPG tip from the archive: Sometimes you'll want the most elaborate battle environment you can build. Other times a circle on a piece of paper is all you need.

RPG tip: Let players use character shenanigans during skill challenges. Don't force them to just make ability checks the whole time.

#dnd #ttrpg


The #Venleitche #ttrpg uses sliding-scale Balances instead of fixed stats. Player actions may Push their Balances one direction or the other, sometimes to their benefit, sometimes not. Connections replace damage counters and hit points, tracking the character's links to their physical body, to the world's magic, and to the social fabric of their community. Actions may Spend or Burn Connection points, which must be restored to keep the player character functional. Together with Blowback, which brings home consequences of dire actions, these mechanics prevent the murderhobo. Try it, and your character becomes a monster stat block. Adventure in a world where the focus is on troubleshooting and repair.

Both books are released CC-NC-SA and free/pwyw. I'm more invested in getting these ideas in front of people than making a profit from them.

RPG tip from the archive: Visualize the scene and situation in your mind's eye and then describe it. Take a moment to imagine things as though you were standing there.

RPG tip: If you love them and they do 52 damage, tell them the monster had only 51 hit points left. If you don't love them, tell them their foe only had four.

if any #ttrpg groups want to send me a pitch, i'm interested in sound designing/producing an actual play #podcast

i have experience making audio drama and have wanted to make one of these for a while!

i'm most interested in the Powered by the Apocalypse system, but i'm down for whatever 👀

#DnD #AudioDrama


RPG tip: Let players roll all their dice even if you know it's a fatal blow. Don't take away their fun with the math rocks.

Why do we make tiny dungeons, with cramped maps? Real caverns meander, like twenty miles of dropped spaghetti.

And the only way to represent miles of spaghetti is a metro-map.

Folks, I've done it again: revolutionizing the tabletop roleplaying game with my new release today, FISHING IN THE SPEAKING LANDS.

You know how every MMO and CRPG has a fishing minigame?

You know how no TTRPG has a fishing minigame?

Well I've fixed that problem for you, for us, for everybody.

Fishing in the Speaking Lands is a fishing minigame that you can bolt on to any Cortex game you like!

And it's free all this week: itch.io/s/150344/fishing-in-th…

Big news! 🎉 Robin D. Laws—designer of GUMSHOE, The Yellow King, DramaSystem, and more—is now Pelgrane Press’s Creative Director! After 20+ years shaping our games, he’s officially leading the charge into the future. We couldn’t be more excited! #TTRPG #PelgranePress


Haha, read this in an RPG group elsewhere:

Nintendo was founded in 1889 making playing cards. Coca-Cola was founded in 1892. Dracula was published in 1897 and was set in the same time. You could have a Dracula adaptation where Dracula drinks a Coke and plays Nintendo and it would be historically accurate.

RPG tip from the archive: Regardless of system, four to six players tends to be ideal to give players enough screen-time during your game.

If you picked up the first role-playing game in Swedish in 1982, here's what you were told on the box bottom:

"The silence feels complete as you slowly sneak in through the half-open gate. In front of you at the opposite wall is an iron-clad chest covered in decades of dust. Suddenly out of thin air a huge shape forms, half goat and half human -- you take a firmer grip on your sword hilt.

'Who dares disturb my rest' roars the demon.

The game master asks ''What do you want to do?""

You see people making solo play variants of traditionally gamemastered games, but you don't see people making gamemastered versions of journaling games — and this tells you there's a fundamental difference in what specifically designed journaling games are doing.

RPG tip: Have at least two ways to get past a puzzle.

RPG tip from the archive: Huge epic miniatures work well as centerpiece statues, monuments, or displays in low level games.

I wrote a song about a merc company in my #ttrpg setting who have the tagline "heroes for hire" and I have to share that line with you:
🎵 "Saving a crashing shuttle full of nuns,
our bravery is great, our fees are small,
defusing a plethora of deadly bombs,
supersonic heroism available to all!" 🎵

Posted the finished song in my settings' Discord server and not one Adam West Batman meme in the reactions. Gotta say, I'm a bit disappointed. 💣
