When designing maps for TTRPGs, I usually add one or more extra entry/exit points on the map. Often at least one of them is somehow hidden. This might provide a chance for the heroes to sneak in or out, or give an escape route for the villain. #battlemaps

Today was the first day in 5-ish years I felt energetic and strong at the gym. Since 1993 I used to workout 3-5 times per week until 2020. The pandemic and stress obliterated my gym and BJJ routines and I gained around 15 kg. 1/6

This map represents the engineering deck or section of a large starship or a space station. If you have suggestions for the other sections/decks of this starship, I'd like to hear them in the comments. The Bridge is done already, btw #scifibattlemaps #scifiTTRPG #deckplans #AlienRPG #Starfinder

Graphic Designers: What was the worst piece of advice you were given, or something you were told was "common knowledge" that... was not?

I’ve just posted up heroic.tools (Heroic Resources) a Draw Steel Community Tools Hub!

Hello travellers! This free battlemap set was unlocked as part of a Community Stretch Goal for my current Kickstarter campaign - TC Modern Battlemap Books - when we passed 666 backers!

We have started using "Agent scenes" in our #DeltaGreen campaign (Thanks to @glasscannonnetwork.bsky.social for the idea) These are 5-15 minute scenes that can be flashbacks into the Agent's past or recent events. These are a great way to build character background and relationships.

Studies have shown that listening to the sound of beavers enthusiastically munching on white cabbage can temporarily reduce stress levels by up to 17%.😊

Finished this up! — an analysis on the Print on Demand Cost Changes on DriveThruRPG. adamjury.com/2025/driveth... There's a spreadsheet to help you calculate new costs and figure out your margins. #TTRPGBiz

I published my first update to my dice font, Polymath. Version 1.1 includes a couple of commonly requested features: 0 on d10: Show a 0 instead of a 10—perfect for d100 tables! Blank dice: Skip the number and just show the dice shape! hedgemazepress.itch.io/polymath-dic... #ttrpg #font

Make no mistake: despite the president's claims, a tariff is a tax paid by the importing company. The new tariffs are terrible news for gamers (and all Americans who buy things). So, for a limited time, all our physical products are 25% off! It's our “anti-tariff” sale! www.montecookgames.c...

And what's the best hashtag to talk about #ttrpg business/industry stuff?

Today we started a new Coriolis RPG campaign with a session zero and character creation. Looking forward to our first actual game session 🚀

1. D&D ("red box") 2. D&D ("red box") 3. AD&D 2nd Edition 4. In years: 5E, in sessions: Pathfinder 2E 5. Impossible question as this depends on the genre and playstyle (some favorites: Pathfinder 2E, Starfinder 2E, Eclipse Phase, Alien, Delta Green, Shadowdark) 6. Call of Cthulhu 7. Pathfinder 2E

This is a free sample of the Motel maps included in my Kickstarter campaign 'TC Modern Battlemap Books' - Live for pre-order right now! Backing at any tier also includes the complete digital bundle for online play or at home printing.

The reason some folks think my tactics/traps are mean is because they have zero fuckin’ clue how to telegraph danger in their game. A pit trap deals 1d6 damage. So you don’t have to say shit. It’s just annoying. (And ultimately says, “Hey, there’s trap ahead.”) 1/🧵

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired! New ride coming soon.

Look, here’s what’s up. If you’re a Dungeon Master you must be 100% neutral, and if anything, lean slightly in the players’ favor. BUT You also have to challenge them. Winning is great. But a victory you shed blood, sweat, and tears for is WAAAY better.

Freelance ttRPG writers: How much have you gotten for game writing work in the past 12 months? I've gotten 15 cents/word, 12 cents/word, and 10 cents/word. I declined 7 cents/word and 5 cents/word. I have also gotten 65% and 50% and 40% of a project's gross on different projects. You?

I didn't know I was going to watch a Cthulhu mythos movie when I starter watching The Substance 😅 #callofcthulhu #deltagreen

Got this classic back to my collection. This book is in pretty bad shape, but the contents are what matters. I still think that Cyberspace has one of the best cyberpunk settings out there.

This is how you do it. You have a monster book for monsters and a separate NPC book with separate profession and ancestry-based archetypes. 😊

Had to update my Delta Green collection a bit.

New #ShadowdarkRPG Kickstarter is now live. Over $180K pledged in less than 30 minutes! This is also a great chance to get on board as the new Premium Core Rulebook and all of the old material is included in the rewards. www.kickstarter.com/projects/sha...
