GM Tip: Build secrets into your world that not even the players' characters are meant to uncover easily. Layers of mystery reward curiosity and encourage exploration.

Raise your hand if you've ever put the triangle in the square hole. 🙋

What the genre that you've seen someone try to wedge into D&D?

Wershi village has long been known for its legendary luck, and it up to the heroes to ferret out the sinister figure who seeks to claim its secret.

Hey #ttrpgCommunity!

What's a common GM habit that you think should be reconsidered or even eliminated?

GM Tip: Prepare meaningful consequences for failure. A loss shouldn't be the end: it should open new story paths that are equally compelling to explore.

How do you handle it when the dice completely derail your planned encounter?
#ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme

A six-panel meme titled "GMs after an accidental TPK" showing a man in period costume going through stages of realization: first saying "I won", then "I won ??", followed by "WAIT A MINUTE", then "I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO WIN", next "LET ME SEE THE SCRIPT", and finally looking down at papers labeled "medium difficulty encounter".

GM Tip: While there's no need to prepare every detail, don't under-prepare because you were afraid your efforts would be wasted. Nothing you make is ever wasted. You can use it later, in this campaign or the next. Even if you never use it, the practice still made you a better GM.

Which game has your favorite rules for strongholds? And what makes those rules click for you? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme

A parody D&D book cover titled 'Legend of the Affordable House.' It features a cheerful adventuring party—including an orc, wizard, warrior, and halflings—standing proudly in front of a cozy two-story cottage. The caption reads, 'In this imaginary fantasy setting, you CAN afford a home for the whole party.'

Sorry about that. I don't like posting AI art. And I am admittedly not great at recognizing it.

Tab Creations @tabcreations.com · 9d

Decision made. I'm taking it down. Will post again another day, next time with actual art.

Tab Creations @tabcreations.com · 9d

Well fuck. Now I'm torn between taking it down laughing at the punchline again.

Thank you for pointing that out.

We have now contracted an artist.

Thank you all for your interest! I love going through all the portfolios and seeing all the extremely talented artists here. I hate having to pick just one. But that's the reality of publishing. Thank you all!

GM Tip: Silence is a powerful tool. After describing a scene or asking a question, wait. Players often come up with their best ideas in the pauses.

What's the longest description your GM has given for something that should have been simple?
#ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme

A meme with text reading "Party: I think we're on the right path" and "The GM describing the path:" followed by a photo showing multiple red octagonal stop signs lined up in a row along a tree-lined street, creating a repetitive and excessive visual.
