GM Tip: Get buy-in on the campaign structure before you start. For example, if you aim to run a mostly linear campaign, that's totally OK, but everyone needs to be on board. Likewise, if you want to run a sandbox, make sure the players are OK with that.

Tip for inexperienced #ttrpg writers: Your book is going to be used many ways—for learning the system, as a reference at the table, just as a fun read, etc. It’s best when to cater to all of those uses.

GM Tip: Always have at least one NPC ready who can provide an unexpected option—an escape, an alliance, a betrayal—so players never feel railroaded.

I've often joked that ongoing tabletop campaigns are actually schedule-based puzzle games with a bit of roleplaying from time to time.

GM Tip: Be an adversary; makes things hard. But that said, be an ally too. Some games focus very hard on how to challenge the players, but they rarely mention how sometimes the world should give them a leg up too.

Trystell is home to creatures both mundane and extraordinary, from ancient mummies to nigh extinct dragons, and from the formidable manticore to the common slime. Wherever the heroes tread, fearsome foes and dangers await.

The Bestiary is available!

Hey #ttrpgCommunity!

What #ttrpg genres do you think are grossly underserved? High fantasy has #dnd and its many offspring, plus others. Most sci-fi games break down by sub-genre. What genre would you want to play with few games in that space?

GM Tip: Take note of what catches the players' interest and reincorporate those details in future sessions. A minor NPC who caught players' eye shows up again. A consequence of some earlier action, good or bad, becomes relevant. This helps engage the players and promotes buy-in.

GM Tip: Short on time? Creating custom battle maps or making intricate quests has terrible return on investment when prepping.

Jotting down a few basic plot hooks, coming up with a couple interesting NPCs and preparing a "drop in" encounter or two has much better return.

We just dropped a first-scene preview of Terra Alpha’s Prologue Episode.

This is where the story begins. Before the launch, before the long sleep, before things go wrong.

While the Age of Ambition core rulebook comes jam-packed with lifepath and character options, it cannot contain all of the archetypes, concepts and abilities that Trystell has to offer.

Character Options contains a variety of new choices!

GM Tip: Players often want to make highly competent characters and don't think to put conflict into their backstories. But conflict is great for making good stories! Ask the players to come up with at least one messy part of their past that can be mined for ideas in the campaign.

This week's #ShadowsOverSol 2e progress is less about creative output (unfortunately) and more about juggling international printing & shipping logistics, as well as digital content agreements.

Shadows Over Sol 2e: Week 9
While we made some progress on the Shadows Over Sol 2e Foundry VTT integration and got this month's Patreon obligations out of the way, this week was largely an exercise in attempting to juggle coordinating international printing & shipping, freelance artists and digital content agreements.

GM Tip: Don’t protect your villains. Let them fail, flee, adapt, or die. A dynamic antagonist becomes far more memorable than an untouchable one.
