this is a built-in one, from this GIF option built into the post (in the bottom left corner). I didn't make it, and paste it into the post.

Also, does anyone know why alt-text on GIFs is removed, and if there's a way to get around it? I added a very delightful description of this image.

I find many games just do plot and leave the rest to the GM :(

Gnome Anne @annethegnome.bsky.social · 22h

When a game has mechanics that support storytelling techniques beyond plot. This could include creating character depth, finding and investigating a theme, position character in relation to theme, creating atmosphere and tone —- and then bonus could be plot stuff, like pacing

I’m itching to write more TTRPG/RP advice, from a storytelling perspective. Does anyone have a topic they‘d like my thoughts on? Any part of your story that just isn’t story-ing the way you want?
