Forgot to say this yesterday:

Each and every cast member should be sharing your production's promotional posts. This

1. Gets the posts to their specific followers
2. Refreshes the post in feeds where it's already been shared since there's new activity
3. Feeds into sharing algorithms

Bard Rock Network of Shows @bardrockcafe.com · 4d

Great additional information on curating your feed for sharable or more relevant content from one of my performers

A thing that Bsky just added that Twitter had - you can select accounts you follow to show up in a notification feed when they post, which is super helpful for keeping on top of accounts you really want to be social with, or keep updated on

Just click this bell on their profile and select "posts"

Season 1 MoB NPCs:

• Bamei and the pistols would survive
• Midori would get bitten while doing something poorly thought out. Bamei has to shoot her
• Fuzhou survives
• Soma survives, unless zombies can fly
• The twins die fast
• Hikaru holes up in her mansion and becomes a cannibal

I asked all our network performed this on discord but ..

How would your #TTRPG character fair in a Marvel Zombies style Zombie apocalypse?

💀 One bite and you turn
💀 Zombies retain powers, skills and abilities from life
💀 Only constructs and undead are truly immune

Great tips in this thread for creators looking to grow!

Bard Rock Network of Shows @bardrockcafe.com · 5d

I'm here to say what a lot of #TTRPG performers trying to establish themselves in the space don't want to hear.

You need to grow your presence on social media. It makes finding new fans infinitely easier if each cast member has an established following.

Let's talk about how 🧵

Man in top panel: do I need to be better at social media

Man on bottom panel: no..I can become a success without growing my following

You have reminded me that my Character "PEMDAS" did not make my list. He's a construct so he's fine

@dungeonglitch.com I just want to know about your latest project. It's been a minute since we last talked

Saw a post asking about the most bizarre gameplay mechanics anyone has seen so I started a homebrew game that uses horoscopes and fortune cookies

Yes it is better if you post daily, multiple times a day. But this strategy is focused at growing a following for a minimal effort while you're balancing other life priorities.

It is meant for the people who have less comfort and bandwidth related to social media.

I hope folks find this helpful

Repeat this process weekly, also posting at least one post you craft yourself (not a promotional post). If people only see you promoting yourself and your projects, you come across as less genuine.

Provided you're doing this, your promotional posts will be taken more seriously.

Bard Rock Network of Shows @bardrockcafe.com · 5d

Once a week, browse your feed for about an hour. Comment on posts you find engaging. Share posts you think need a boost.

Identify AT LEAST one post to quote share so you can add your perspective.

This allows you to demonstrate who you are, your beliefs and your passions. People will follow

2

Bard Rock Network of Shows @bardrockcafe.com · 5d

Start by following accounts. (NO this isn't a follow for follow strategy) This adds more content to your feed for you to share and comment on.

Open up starter packs for topics you're interested in (obviously ttrpgs but if this is your personal account other hobbies)

Follow your cast mates.

The things I hear most from performers is that they

1. Don't want to or aren't sure how to be successful at social media
2. Have a small following they don't know how to grow

It some work and patience, but you can grow your following with as little as one hour of activity a week.

Please recommend more #TTRPG / #ActualPlay / #Games Bluesky accounts to me - I feel like I don't follow enough on here.. 70% of my feed is just medical news and just a small handful of TTRPG accounts that post quite regularly! 😅

A friend of mine who lives in KC basically retold this to me live NGL

Bard Rock Network of Shows @bardrockcafe.com · 15d

Honestly had to look up the official lore because the film showed multiple all woman musical trios across the world and time.

But you're right the film doesn't outright say the hunters can only be women. It is just presented in such a way it feels like that's the case

Bard Rock Network of Shows @bardrockcafe.com · 15d

Oh no I am pretty sure the one in kansas was formed out of spite for the fact Missouri somehow claimed a city that was rightfully theirs

Bard Rock Network of Shows @bardrockcafe.com · 15d

Wasn't one of the criteria in the film that the voices belong to women though?
