Preparing for tomorrow's #DnD session.

The PCs are going up against the guardian demon they inadvertently released when they spoke the wrong command for a magical portal. #GamePrep #GMPrep

Figuring out NPCs for my #DnD campaign. To save on prep time, I'm trying to leverage the generic NPC blocks from the Monster Manual, and then tweaking (rather than building out the NPC characters with D&D Beyond, which is what I normally do).

I think this will work, though I'm disappointed there's no archdruid in #DnD2024 (though it's easy enough to use the one from Mordenkainen's Monsters of the Multiverse). #GamePrep #CampaignPrep #DungeonMasterLife

Playing around with streaming on Moonbeam. No sound because there are people in and out of the room as we hang out on Labor Day Weekend. #Experiments #GamePrep #Greyhawk76 #DnD

Experimenting with using tab groups to organize my encounters for tonight's Greyhawk '76 campaign.

All the monsters and NPCs are on D&D Beyond, and tonight's encounters have seven or so entries. That's a lot of tabs to be switching between (especially when you add in all the other tabs I'll open in game). #Greyhawk #GamePrep #DMPrep #DnD2024 #DnD5e

Working on #Greyhawk76 and realizing I have no idea how to make a farmhouse in #Inkarnate. So I'm off to see what's available in community contributed maps. #DnD #DnD2024 #TTRPG #GamePrep #Maps

Bingo. https://inkarnate.com/m/D7Lp2N

This is super handy: A D&D calculator for determining the percentage chance of success given a d20, a skill modifier, and a difficulty class.

Plus you can set advantage, normal, or disadvantage AND add modifier dice (like from the spell Guidance)

I can be kinda horrible when it comes to prepping maps for my online #DnD sessions ... though I'm better now thanks to a Pinterest hack.

Well, maybe less of a hack and more of a "hey, let's use Pinterest to find and store maps BEFORE I need them".

Radical thought, eh? #GMTips #DMTips #GamePrep #CampaignPrep #TTRPG #VTT
