My players: "And I can cast a spell as a reaction because I have Warcaster"

Me, the wise DM: "Heh. It's pronounced 'wooster.'"

What a perfect timing for the release of “One Battle After Another”. Not only it hit the spot for me exactly when I was craving this type of a wild conspiracy story, it also is too relevant for the present day. This, and “Civil War”.

"Selling Out Is Bad" is a valuable concept and despite all the baggage and bullshit and elitism it could contain it's actually really good to reinforce the ideal that having integrity when it matters, especially when it hurts, is what good/cool people do. Should be adapted instead of jettisoned.

Weapons is really cool! I will definitely steal a final scene into my home game. But kind of wish it went into a bit different direction with a threat presented to the characters or at least foreshadowed it more.

Our Curse of Strahd campaign just downsized to 3 players. Good thing we were recruiting everyone we met, so we might not have a Hulk, but we have an army!

Thanks for this adventure!
Also, I think this giveaway boosted sales of my adventure, that I also decided to release for scratching an itch for the Forge. So double thank you! :D

Yeah, this would’ve been cool, but for now it feels like the only way is to either make a name for yourself or join the group that already has an established name that is a quality stamp in and of itself. And I have no idea how to do either of these things. :D

With all that I’m wondering where are the people and how to reach them with what I create. Sure, I can move to Daggerheart or Draw Steel, but it there interest for a small third party supplements? And even if yes, won’t it die down before I learn these systems enough?

Okay, that explains why in 3 days I sold only 4 copies of my new adventure.

Big thanks to @pentadact.com for the beautiful game that became such a huge inspiration for me. And I hope he don’t mind me bringing it over to #Eberron in my own weird way

Just look at this beauty!
Can’t get over the fact that my wife ups her game so much every release, considering that previous were already great

We finally released a new DMsGuild adventure!

This one mixes the social deduction game a la Mafia with tactical combat, and is inspired by one of my favorite games of the last year: Tactical Breach Wizards.

My feed at this point is 50-50 leftist and Games/TTRPG creators. (Often they are the same people)
So for a second I was really puzzled if this is a new comparison of D&D classes or something about politics.

I think that I'll stick with Blackened Book for my #Eberron adventures, because it gives a pretty good frame for any adventure. Also, I just love to make my players a part of the larger organization.

Pre-gens for the new adventure look absolutely stunning now!

Just saw a man in a “best cat dad ever” t-shirt. I probably should challenge him for a duel.
