NEW PRODUCT!
Wanting to track time in an urban environment?
Perhaps you need a solid list of actions Player Characters can take while traveling through the city. Or maybe you just wanted to pitch me a dollar.
Well either way it's LIVE ON

Wanna get weird?
Make monsters that attack things your players didnt realize were up for grabs.
Sure, a ghost attacks age, but what about a demon that has:
The target also makes a charisma saving throw DC 14. On a failure, the target loses one syllable off of their first name
A cult to the Lady of Pain arises in Sigil. Though flayings are held daily, devotees still come forward.
She knows if enough voices call out for her godhood, she would become one.
She knows she would then no longer be welcome in Sigil.
She knows not who is behind this coup.
Pro tip for DMs
Are you annoyed at the constant “I’ve got darkvision!” Responses?
Do you just want someone to pull out a torch?
This is where color becomes important.
Is that a puddle of water?
Blood?
SKIN MELTING GREEN SLIME?
This man sitting in his own house with sunglasses and a hat to disguise his identity while calling companies he doesn’t love Cowards is peak irony.
10/10, perfect, no notes.
Here is your list of “increasingly left leaning ttrpg companies from left to…right” (weird I know)
Told one of my minis that I was extremely proud of painting was “decent but” then a long list of what I SHOULD have done and nothing irritates me more than people deciding to critique when I’m just trying to show off something I think I did well.
So I stopped painting minis.
Time for a VAGUE TWEET
Today is a huge day that decides something that has been hanging over mine and my families head for a year. I am really hoping it gets resolved.
Oh boy.
Ive been a 1.5-2 pack a day smoker for over a year now. When my brother died/some other issues happened, I ramped up my cig intake to insane levels.
But things are better now.
I came home to find my last pack stabbed by my child
LMFAO.
Message received kid.
Let’s quit.
I am so happy we are finally reaching the lifecycle of TTRPGs where we look at an edition of a game that was scorned and now admit “you know? It wasn’t half bad”
I’m here for you, 4th Ed D&D lovers
That time I pitched a joke, a person took it upon themselves to poo on said joke, I decided to troll them, they made a bold claim, and Ed Greenwood changed the forgotten realms forever
I did it.
I DID IT.
I had a book in my hands. I was about to buy it. And then I stopped and asked "Will I play this?" No. "Will I READ this?" Not for a loooong time. So I put it back.
Take that, addiction
Have whatever opinion you want about Orcs I suppose, but I have two things I want to say about this picture.
1. Fantasy Western is absolutely my aesthetic. Yes. Wonderful.
2. That orcs mustache game is on point, my orca often have a strong mustache game.
WotC.
We have given you 17 years of our patience and money and love. All we ask in return is one official hardcover full length Eberron adventure.
Sincerely,
Probably just Me.
Me: we need to be honest with ourselves, D&D is making products for 12 year olds. That’s a part of their market, it’s not made exclusively for us old guys.
This guy: no. Also what is a toy
From the reductive “controversial to d&d twitter” to the willful misrepresentation that the problem is that they weren’t mean to her (when the actual problem is granting her a platform.)
No one wants to see gotcha with her.
We want her to not get attention anymore.
Level 3-12….I wonder if the intro adventures in Wildemount are expected to cover the first couple of levels. That would be a very neat synergy, any insight

50 years of D&D with Monte Cook, Skip Williams, and Jonathon Tweet. Moderated by Jon Peterson
Peterson: How did you feel about being acquired by Wizards of the Coast
Cook: well we were relieved, we were worried we were going to instead be acquired by Hasbro!
Dungeons and Dragons mocks its fan base, calling them “Losers”.
In this very serious thread, I will demonstrate the many ways this shows how out of touch with long time D&D players WotC is and- (1/236)
Almost a year ago, I lost my little brother to suicide.
It sucked a lot to say the least.
In honor of him, every single dollar I make in the month of February and March from DMsGuild Purchases will go to the American Association of Suicidology.

Also just to throw this out there:
Elliot page: not in charge of anyone but himself, just living his best life.
SCOTUS: stripping away our rights, holds tons of power and wields it against us.
Yeah I mean punch up all damned day Twitter. I’m here for it.

“DOES THAT BEHOLDER HAVE A BEARD?”
“Yeah but look at this cap-“
“BEARDHOLDER”

Anyone remember the uproar about player consent in Phandelver and Below?
And how part of the justification for anger was “how it should be in session 0 not in the middle of the book?”
It’s on page 12. In the prep section. Where the DM gets session 0 information.

Buddy I’ll be the first to say it. If you are proud of your Lithuanian heritage then paint it up. It’s fine.
I think it’s more cringe you decided a piece of your identity isn’t worth anything and then decided to apply that to others.
I do not believe there is *A* ttrpg community.
I believe there are a lot of communities that center around various aspects of TTRPGs.
But its like saying there’s a Sports community. That’s a BIG net to cast. There’s just too many sports to lump all in one.
Same for TTRPGs, imo

My brother and I were adopted by our step father and we celebrate every year
It’s like a 2nd birthday for us. Or was
This year both my dad and myself are dreading it. It’s going to be the first one w/o Shane.
I miss my little brother. I love my dad.
As the new CEO of WotC, I am here to announce:
-Planescape becomes default setting for D&D
-All physical books purchased new come with a free downloadable copy at DnDbeyond
-and yes, Eberron gets a feature full length adventure.
-also new adventure structure tba
My favorite Forgotten Realms adventure is the Red Hand of Doom.
Map 1. The “setting neutral” Elsir Vale.
Map 2. Faerun, just east of The Shaar.
Red Hand was a stealth forgotten realms game.

“I got a nat 20 though!”
“Man, do I have a 1 in 20 chance to convince you to cheat on your wife?”
“No”
“Exactly, free will still exists. Knock it off”
The amount of people responding to this with “Don’t bend the knee to the woke mob, bend the knee to US!” Is staggering.
But unsurprising.
Good on you Goodman for recognizing an oversight and addressing it. Looking forward to seeing what’s to come.
Regarding our previous Indie RPG Creator Summit speaker highlight post: We acknowledge and want to address our oversight in representing the diversity of our community, and are committed to promoting inclusivity moving forward.

In local news, the same people who say “if you don’t like edgy content, change the channel” get up in arms about free product they don’t need to download. More at 11.
For some batshit reason, three people (3!) have made it a point to comment about how my mouth open smile is distasteful to them?
Guys I don’t need further body dismorphia and to the “John” in particular, who took it as far as to go to legit insults, this smile is for you.
Posts I will never “like” on Twitter
-anti LGBTQ+
-racist
-Pro genocide
-“Pro Life”
-Really anything by Musk
-misogynist
-“one true way to game”
Posts I will always like on Twitter
-Cybertruck fails
The most common safety tool wasn’t referred to as such until recently
Safety tool supporters havent claimed it as their idea or anything. Just creating a shared language to categorize concepts
That tool is Talking to Your Players Before the Campaign Starts
And this is bad?
I failed. Had one.
It’s a long story but to make it short:
Repeated reminders that my brother is dead is a trigger turns out
On one hand that sucks. I slipped.
On the other hand I now know what to avoid
@mattcolville
Hahaha ok maybe YOU can’t keep track of the logical progressions of hundreds of individual relationships while also having a mastery of combat rules, all without asking for a break to check your notes, but I ALSO can’t.
Luke’s Arc in the Last Jedi makes 100% sense for a character who is struggling with living up to his own potential vs living up to the ideals of people he had built up in his head as Gods.
I. Loved. The Last Jedi.
JJ Abrams is more to blame than Rian Johnson if you dislike Luke in TLJ.
It was JJ’s choice to have Luke chilling on an island while the First Order was terrorizing the galaxy…Rian played the card that JJ dealt him.

Just had a chance meeting with
@dungeoncraft
and let me tell you: this guy is wonderful. Positive, upbuilding, and has a great ability to make you feel like a million bucks. A true pleasure
Anymore when following people back, I try to follow these steps.
1st I go to your Twitter
2nd I search keywords in your tweets
From there I see how you tweet about “Trans”, “Safety Tools”, and “Wheelchairs”.
If I see overtly shitty comments from you about any of those, nope.
The biggest sin I think read aloud text can do in a premade adventure is dictate the characters emotional state.
Feel free to dictate physical sensations. In fact PLEASE do, using at least 2-3 senses if you are going to write read aloud text.
But don’t dictate emotional state.
Ben talks about Gary Gygax’s self admission to sexism and why this is important to understanding how the hobby has gotten to where it is today.
I firmly believe we can both honestly acknowledge the man Gary was while also appreciating his work.
D&D Co-Creator Gary Gygax was Sexist. Talking About it is Key to Preserving his Legacy.
“Damn right I am a sexist. It doesn’t matter to me if women get paid as much as men… They can jolly well stay away from wargaming in droves for all I care.”
