#ttrpgs — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #ttrpgs, aggregated by home.social.

  1. One thing about world-building a setting for #ttrpgs or other uses is getting a handle on what the various settlements and their placements should be like. Should there be a lot, or only a few? What's each one like?

  2. Combat is the moment everyone at the table looks forward to, and the moment most likely to drag. Here's what players and DMs each do to make D&D combat worse without realizing it, and what both sides can do to make it genuinely memorable.

    I've been playing #TTRPGs since I was 15, and I've been a GM/DM several times before. I've played DnD 5e, Pathfinder 4e, and other game systems.

  10. @Lane I think a lot of people feel that way. We generally stuck to our character's alignment, but one of the great things about #ttrpgs is that you can play the way you want. As long as you're having fun it's good!

  12. The #dnd character sheet can be pretty overwhelming for someone brand new to #TTRPGs, so I made a condense mini sheet which I use every time I run for brand new players to keep things simple for them.

  13. I LOVE making random lists of flavour content for #ttrpgs. Bug & Claw is no exception. I foresee many more of these on their way.

  14. Say you were writing an app that is designed to be a companion when playing DnD. For the DM it holds notes, generates random character names, supplies random items and more. For players, make notes, make rolls, track resources. Think everything in a VTT but for in person games. What would you call it? #dnd #dnd5e #ttrpg #ttrpgs #TTRPGCommunity

  15. There it is again! Another Mythic Magazine! This one includes an article on solo RPG economics, which I try really hard to make interesting! Also ... Questions. Deep talk about Questions.

  16. #introduction

    Hiya Fediverse! I'm Grace - a 40-something that is getting to do a whole lot of self discovery "late" in life.

    After I finally stopped drinking and got "California Sober" - :verified420: - I realized what I was drinking to numb... the fact that I wasn't giving the real me the space I deserved.

    I live in a red state in the US, so I'm taking my time with socially transitioning. I don't know where I will land - right now I am enjoying taking my time listening to myself and figuring out what is right for me.

    And if anyone has recommendations on skirts for a large-waisted 5'10" person (us size 16-18, 36/30 or 38/30 in mens pants), please LMK! Everything I have tried on Amazon is dog shit and it is still scary to walk into a brick & mortar store to find things.

    I am really enjoying diving into jewelry, press on nails (which are doing wonders for stopping my nail biting), fashion, and makeup. Hopefully someday soon I'll be able to share a face photo with some makeup I'm proud of. But right now it looks very "first time using makeup"... mainly because it is.

    Other things I love - #DungeonCrawlerCarl, #TTRPGs, using #archLinux via #CachyOS, #ffxiv, and tinkering on bicycles.

    I have an amazingly supportive partner and she is been my rock as I started to come out to myself and then her. I'm still looking for in-person community as well, but being in a suburb of Dallas doesn't make that easy.

  17. Looking for somewhere to talk all things #dnd and #TTRPGs with other like-minded players and GMs?

    Check out the Icarus Games discord server: icarus-games.co.uk/discord

    We're a moderated server full of friendly folks willing to answer questions and chat.

  18. @fskornia

    Three hardest problems in Computer Science, and #ttrpgs :

    1) naming things
    2) off by one errors

  19. Chicos recomienden comunidades de Signal para juegos de rol y creatividad.

  22. re-#introduction

    G4M explores the intersection of #improvisedMusic and #tabletopGames.

    We have a library where authors may put their #printandplay #musicGames, a catalogue of items published elsewhere, and a #wiki to track all the developing theory and history of the field.

    Topics of interest include #experimentalMusic, #boardGames, #ttrpgs, #musicEducation, #creativeCommons, and more.

    The wiki webpage is at:
    musicgames.wikidot.com
    but if you look for any info about game pieces, feel free to @ us here in the Fediverse.

    We restart our activity on a new instance. Boosts will help us reach our previous contacts (thank you).

  23. RE: social.vivaldi.net/@randomwiza

    I detest the concept of “magic shops” in D&D. It turns the wonderous mundane in short order and throws power balance out of whack too. And, apparently, Gary Gygax also thought so many moons ago. #dnd #ttrpg #ttrpgs #garygygax

  24. In Bug & Claw's 35th #ttrpg #devlog, we look at some of the general items and equipment, as well as some of the rare ones. ⬇️ 🔨🪓

  25. i must say, the Friends and Rivals system in Blades in the Dark and inspired systems is so useful for a GM, especially if you then let the players tweak each NPC to make them more personal. it's a great way to create recurring characters other than the various factions.

  30. wtf scheduling. Truly #ttrpgs last boss.
    The past weekend we had a session 0 for a #vampire #vtm chronicle, planned since early February (and one player almost had to cancel).
    Now we are trying to plan for the next session: as things are now, the earliest we may perhaps be able to all meet is end of May.

  35. Wrapped my first true-blue Blades campaign last night, after about 8 or 9 sessions. Enough time to get to get to Tier 1 and gain some serious territory, but I want to play more 🥺

  40. Does anyone need anything at the intersection of improvised music and non-digital games?

    It will be (probably) done! under #creativecommons, ...unless it's some kind of a drawing or sth... ;)

  41. The #Replaced #videogame is due to be released today; I might buy it today on the 1st day. It’s said to have a #BladeRunner / #Cyberpunk vibe. As a long-standing fan of the genre and #TTRPGs, I can’t really see the appeal in the #corporate cash-in that is #Cyberpunk2077. We’ll see. #cyberpunk2013

  42. I'm spreading the word far and wide... There's a #pathfinder humble bundle out!!! The core rulebooks for under $5, it's an absolute no brainer

    If you pay a bit more, some really useful resources and society modules to run

    Next tier is a whole AP- a city based one no less - and also a few remaining (optional) core books

    (Final tier is just a physical book)

  44. #TTRPG #TTRPGs #TTRPGSky Does anyone use an e-ink tablet for reading PDFs? Boox, Bigme, Remarkable? I want less for note-taking.

  45. Sound off: does anyone actually go through the effort of printing and cutting print-and-play games? Is it worth offering that format for my games?
