#Friday is for friends and #DungeonsandDragons. Tonight we are fighting a #necromancer that we have been trying to track down in a derelict mansion for the last several weeks along side her Night hag accomplice. I predict gratuitous violence and I am ready #ttrpg #gamenight #bossfight

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Gygax often claimed that Tolkien and his books had just a "superficial" influence on D&D. According to him, such authors as Anderson, Sprague de Camp and Pratt, Leiber, Lovecraft, Merritt, Moorcock, Vance, and Zelazny were used as inspiration more than Tolkien.

The second chapter of my blog series "The Tales Of The Sons Of HFIA" is now up and this time the adventurers are on a quest to the rock Gnome settlement of Gnomenguarde in search on inventions and weapons to help them defeat the white Dragon Cryovain #Dungeonmaster #DungeonsandDragons #Blog #Blogger
The Tales of The Sons Of HFIA: Chapter 2 – Madness in Gnomengarde
We return to our adventure with the newly formed alliance of adventurers, Quercus, Edmund, Dalyor, Sobis and Chaz, leaving The Home for Intrepid Adventures (or HFIA for short) feeling well rested and ready for adventure and so they head back to the Town hall to see what new tasks have been added to the towns job board. Standing at the jobs board when they arrive is a 7ft tall blue scaled Dragonborn who is surveying the job postings with a giant great axe in hand.

spending this morning writing up the 2nd chapter of my #DungeonsandDragons inspired blog series which is really just a journal of my home game 😅 It's great to go back to things that happened in the game nearly three years ago and to see how naive we were to the ways of #dnd #dungeonmasterlife #blog

Had to deal with my first character death as a #Dungeonmaster last night. it was equal measures of stress, mechanic management and emotional trauma😂 #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #roleplay #emotionaltrauma

So I have finally gotten around to doing as promised and I've started to write a blog series based on my #DungeonsandDragons game. The first post introduces the party's characters and tells the tale of their first quest together. Go give it a read and let me know what you think! #SonsofHFIA
The Tales of The Sons Of HFIA: Chapter 1 – Introductions and Manticores at Umbridge Hill
Our story begins in the recently re-settled mining Town of Phandalin which lies south of the Triboar trail and west of the newly reopened mines of Wave Echo Cave. A young white Dragon by the name of Cryovain has recently made his lair on the summit of the nearby Icespire peak in the Sword mountains, causing chaos and uncertainty in the region. Several adventurer's have arrived in Phandalin on their own personal searches for adventure after hearing rumours of a white Dragon being spotted in the area. Each of our adventurers is driven by their own agenda, each having their own reason for seeking out the thrill and danger of facing a Dragon but as they all have a common interest in ending the threat that Cryovain poses to Phandalin, they decide to team up to increase their chances of success.

Jeff Bezos might have built a spaceship, but indie bookstores build and nurture whole communities and that is *way* more impressive and valuable.

Spending this evening looking over #dungeonsanddragons notes from almost three years ago so I can turn them into a series of blog posts journaling the story of my campaign and my player's characters.

Also last nights #dungeonsanddragons game was a pure, unaldaterated, violent gore fest and I loved every second of it (even if the party was only able to fully clear 2 rooms and a single corridor of a castle 🤣) #dungeonmaster #ttrpg

Wife and kids are away overnight so I'm spending my night stuffing my face with chicken wings, catching up with #themightynein and I'm about to start a fresh character in @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com. That's what I call a good Saturday night!

Had a great time visiting a friend this afternoon, so that we could discuss the logic and proper places for firearms in #dungeonsanddragons. Eventually, we decided it all comes down to the game setting and a collective agreement between the group but what do you think? #ttrpg #dungeonmaster

Introduced my wife to @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com this evening and after a rocky start I think I've managed to get her hooked! 🤣 here's to many more frustrating hours of questing with the love of my life 🙃 #WoW #mmorpg #fantasy #azeroth

The men of Rohan were proud and fierce, skilled in riding and loyal to their lords. They were called the Rohirrim, the horse-lords of the Mark. 🐴

Writing up notes from Fridays #DungeonsandDragons game and after over three hours of gameplay, the party had managed to find and travel to the location of a castle. That's it!...Well they did have to fight a Gulthias Blight which is a beast of a monster but other than that! 😂 #DungeonMaster #TTRPG

Tonights #DnD prep work is bittersweet. I'm getting ready to destroy the town that my players have called home for nearly three years...and when I mean destroy, I mean I plan to raze it to the ground #dungeonmaster #dungeonsanddragons #TTRPG #worldbuilding
