Second this opinion. TTRPGs are vehicles for collaborative storytelling. The world is much more fun when everyone at the table can contribute.

I'm very excited to announce a thing I'm working on - a Tactical Skirmish TTRPG to mash toy soldiers together in whatever setting you like! dicegoblin.blog/announcing-d...

I actually DON'T need to do that (no shade). The real difference is the traditional ideal GM in #TTRPGs is one of self-sacrifice and thus creates the illusion of it "taking less energy" when, speaking as a past "forever GM" who now loves GMless, it's the same (or more) in the case of a GM'd game.

Why does #BricklinkStudio lack a move brick to origin command? 🫤 Granted this is only a problem because I'm exporting my models… I found a work around. It's still weird and extra work #Lego

Been vibing with this new game, Pico. Little bugs adventuring in a big mysterious world. This is my character, Pifiurika Gyaxauru, or Pifi for short. Curious, driven, and down for some digging, Pifi is determined to unearth secrets! #pico #bug #ttrpg

On today's imaginary episode of "concrete actionable #ttrpg advice from popular media", I watched GoldenEye again and it is a MASTERCLASS in how to answer the question "how do I put a fresh spin on classic, familiar tropes and plot devices?"—first and foremost with the titular GoldenEye itself! 🧵

I fired up Bricklink and made a #Mecha, then imported it to blender. My #TTRPG project could use some tokens. I imported it into blender because I want to add armature, and make it poseable, and maybe play with rendering styles but I'm getting hungry What time is it? 😯 #lego #MOC

GM Tip: Describe senses other than sight. Smells, sounds, temperature, and textures deepen immersion far more effectively than visuals alone. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg

Imagine meeting your deity and learning they are a fleshy meat potato 🤔 no wonder it's heresy to make depictions of the Gods #TTRPG

Question for the GMs, writers, and worldbuilders out there; What's something you believe more GMs and Players should keep in mind? Mine is simple; Players, sometimes, you should let your characters be helpless or vulnerable. GMs, don't be too attached to a story you have in mind. #TTRPG

Here's an early ttrpg question. What elements in a ttrpg help or you need to make good teamwork mechanics within that game system? #ttrpg

Another evening stolen by Expedition 33 One moment you're thinking I might be too high level for this area… I'm ending fights before they get a turn Then hidden boss TPK

Has anyone done TTRPG yet where you are like, not a person, but like, a country? Like a whole ass country. With stats and attributes and skills and shit.

Making Last Transmissions was my way of exploring how meaningful choices can be even when we know the ending. Every time someone shares their station's final moments with me, I'm reminded why I love this hobby so much. #TTRPG #SoloRPG solsroles.itch.io/la...

This definitely applies to #TTRPG, #OSR is a rejection of D&D having too much, and D&D failure to effectively use the rules it has Some PbtA also suffer from having too much
