Wait, is this for real?

Today was the first session for it and the kids don’t get much done per session—big shocker, I know. But I think it should be fun. Everyone seemed to enjoy it.

Got to play some D&D with the boys. They’ve just arrived in the feywild and are doing their first hexcrawl (mine too).

👋 Hi, I’m Soren - the person behind Tabletop Master.

Here I share the journey of building a tool for GMs, the art we may feature, and the sounds I create along the way.

You’ll also find glimpses of my own TTRPG creativity and bits of personal life.

Thanks for being here, it means a lot.

Like most things, I start from something more realistic then tweak as needed for convenience.

One of the longest was when I started reading about waste management throughout history.

I’ve gone down many a rabbit hole trying to get something as realistic as possible.

Today, Freya experienced a sudden medical crisis. I found her lying limp and barely responsive. When we got her to the vet, her pulse, BP, and blood sugar were all dangerously low. Vet said if we'd waited an hour, she might not have survived.

Saw them on the Time Machine Tour and it was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Admittedly they are probably my favorite rock band.

Today our daughter takes the DM seat once again to take us through a terrifying dungeon of her own design! She’s older, she’s wiser, she’s more diabolical than ever! Will she kill her father’s character again? Will she have more insane traps that beak our minds? We find out today!
