I play many ttrpgs but mostly #dnd - started long time ago when AD&D (1e) was the current version. Also play a lot of boardgames.
Software developer and consulting on SMB technical strategy.

Next week Tuesday my #Dragonlance group will, after almost exactly 3 years of irregular sessions, finish their campaign.

Let's hope that bard Will Treaty, druid Vasuki, paladin Iraokas, and their pal Gunther the ranger, prevail!

Played "The Quacks of Quedlinburg" for the first time last night. I started average, but the second game I won - barely - because of 3 points gained from saved rubies

Having 2 weeks off of work - time for family and some long overdue boardgames and ttrpg sessions!

Yesterday, my "Family Matters" group had the last #dnd session of the year. For reasons, the next session with the entire party will be in February, probably.

I was so proud of how it went. There were big in-character conversations, and the players told me they really like the world and the story.

This weekend, Sinterklaas—the saint that brings presents to Dutch children of all ages on/around 5 December—brought me a nice new dm screen.

My D&D party did not achieve much tangible results yesterday, but they learned a lot:
- some npc's lie and cheat
- some mysteries are too dangerous, for now
- "run away to fight another day" is a solid tactical solution
- if you don't act on things you were hired to do, someone else may step in

My "Family Matters" d&d group is planning to go into a forest that nobody ever returns from - they have been warned multiple times.

I think that at some time, I will need to remind them that there is no shame in "running for your life".

I will be using a beautiful animated map by @angelamaps.com .

Tonight is our monthly board game night. Usually I bring a stack of games.

Any new games you recently played that you recommend?
Play time max. 90 minutes, or shorter

The rocket in the current season of 9-1-1 is called Inara 2

Is that a reference to Firefly's Inara ? I like to think so!

Currently watching the last half hour of last week's episode "The Heart of Lethe".

Sadly, again I will not he able to see the next one (tomorrow) live, but I definitely will catch the final episode as soon as I can.

If you like #dnd and Greek mythology, this is the one series to watch!

@rdonoghue.bsky.social You reposted this post by Scott Horton, but their statement is not a true representation AT ALL of what is said in the Dutch news article. (I am Dutch).

I spent a delightful day in Toronto filming this prequel to the upcoming Tales From Woodcreek show, which you'll be able to watch for free on the @dungeondudes.bsky.social channel! We got up to some shenanigans under the guidance of Dungeon Master Deborah Ann Woll 😍

Our weekly D&D group is moving from Thursdays to Tuesdays.

Have you encountered any hidden perks or pitfalls from playing earlier in the workweek?

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about the wider D&D community these last few years

Nobody reads the fucking Dungeon Master’s Guide.

(You should probably read the Dungeon Master’s Guide)

I would really love to see TTRPGs also released as an epub so I can read it on my phone in dark mode when I'm curled up from a migraine.

Most TTRPG pdfs aren't easily viewed on phones, and it's an accessibility issue rarely discussed. And there are more applications for epubs than my migraine days.

Currently reading Draw Steel. One of my groups might like this–very much!

In fact I might write something on this, so if people could share for a decent sample size:

If you are a D&D player, how would you feel if your most recent character died in a random encounter?

Also which edition of the game are you currently playing?

Thanks for your help.
There's an r/dnd post begging DMs to threaten their PCs with death because otherwise Hp and defence have no purpose, and it rubbed me the wrong way.

Learn to threten your PCs in different ways, but more than that learn that a 1Hp+ character has narrative power and a 0Hp character does not.

I'm so lucky to be in three #ttrpg groups. Each brings different things I like.
Tonight's group is all family–most are experiencing their first campaign ever. Their questions bring me so much inspiration for world building, I love it. And they like it, too!

One of my #dnd 5e(2024) players wants an Alpaca as pet–so I set out to create stats for a fantasy Alpaca.

Any thoughts on what I came up with?

Tonight, after a few weeks of canceled weekly #dnd sessions because of summer, the stars appear to align again!

My character Adrasta hopes she can finally make some progress in thwarting the BBEG - whoever that may be!

Last Thursday in our 'Family Matters' #dnd campaign, two characters—siblings—had a flashback session, set 11 years ago. The two are the only ones native to this world & time.

I revealed some world lore, and family history was written. The players want more of this - so, it was great!

Tomorrow in 'my' #Dragonlance campaign, the party is going to raid a farmstead—that is now a draconian command post—to retrieve a scroll from a hidden vault, Mission Impossible style.
They don't know (yet) that there is a party going on there at the time. What else could surprise them? #dnd
