I've made a few one-page TTRPGs, one of which earned an ENNIE nomination. So I wrote a guide to encourage and help others create their own one-page games. Covers everything from generating ideas to publishing online. Make your own one-page TTRPG: exeuntpress.itch.io/one-page-rpg #ttrpg #solorpg

For a level-6 game using 2024 rules, the topple weapon mastery led both me and another player to choose mauls. In decades of play, that's the 1st & 2nd time I've seen PCs wield mauls.

The @slyflourish.com podcast is one of my go to resources for inspiration as a DM. And his deep dive into the new #DnD monster manual is great. I do disagree with one of his biggest gripes though, and that's about having to look up spells. youtu.be/8Ds2D0otpWY?...

RPG tip from the archive: Prep in the fiction, not the mechanics. How does that dark ritual work in the world? Let the characters figure out how to disrupt it and then work with them to find the right mechanics to do so. #dnd #ttrpg

RPG tip: Add variance to static damage by subtracting 3 and adding 1d6. #dnd #ttrpg

@slyflourish.com One other issue with "All goblins are evil fey" is it leads every player into Righteous Paladin thinking. "Well we can heinously torture this goblin for information and then just kill him. He's an evil fey." This narrows opportunities for redemption or empathy, and also: it's gross!

RPG tip: Get used to averaging damage — for every two dice you subtract from a big pool of dice, add the max of one of those dice plus one to the static value. 8d8 becomes 36. #dnd #ttrpg

I have been thinking more about the recent episode of Mastering Dungeons @masteringdnd.bsky.social where @alphastream.bsky.social and @shawnmerwin.bsky.social are talking about the new Forgotten Realms subclass and are wondering if it is “too soon” for new subclasses. I would agree.

In this week’s blog, I analyzed spellcasting in the new Monster Manual and created a simple alternative using @slyflourish.com’s Monster Features from the monster-building resource document. This approach helps DMs run combat smoothly without having to constantly flip through the PHB for spells.
