I don’t see many Sci-Fi battlemaps being posted so I thought I would help out a little bit. I have been running 2 sci-fi rpgs concurrently for 3 years and have amassed quite a few decent maps that I have made in DungeonDraft. They are nothing special, but considering how rare sci-fi maps can be, I hope someone finds them...

The series where I take popular One-Shots, Adventures, Campaigns, etc. and fully prep them for both New and Busy DMs. This prep includes fully fleshed-out notes, music, ambiance, encounter sheets, handouts, battle maps, tweaks, and more so you can run the best sessions possible with the...

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg pulled a surprise out of his enchanted bag of holding for viewers of the company’s annual Meta Connect product summit on Wednesday: An artificial intelligence version of Snoop Dogg playing “The Dungeon Master.”

Ram: As I said at the start of this post, Trophy Gold is great. The game is mechanically interesting and novel, while remaining quite simple. What I love about the game is that it’s a little bit messy when it comes to what it’s about. It’s not trying to a Story Game or an OSR game. Trophy Gold is very much its own thing,...

I was thinking about crazy optimizations today and I’m surprised we don’t hear more people talk about this combo. A cleric that can cast lvl 3 spells can concentrate on spirit guardians and wild shape, and by becoming a large creature you can create a 40 ft field of fast moving justice taking the dodge action - that include...

Let me begin by making it clear this is not my invention, I encountered the method in City of Mist but I doubt it debuted there. But it is a nifty method....

What are some websites where i can find monster/mutant/hellspawn digital art? im looking for inspiration for my half homebrew post apocalyptic sessions

I had been wanting to try it for a while and saw it at a local game store. I picked it and some fudge dice up and want to try it soon. It seems like it will provide the sort of flexibility and less specific focus on combat that I want out of D&D. It also is simple enough that I read the entirety of the rules in one day (and...

Learn about our plan to modernize the Roll20 VTT and get it ready for the next decade of online tabletop gaming.

One of these days, I’ll buy Paranoia. I’ve heard about it and it sounds like something I’ll enjoy. It’s already on my wishlist....

Kevin Crawford’s latest offering Cities Without Number is here. Pretty much more of the same good stuff but this time with cyberpunk flavour....

ChatGPT has been a lifeline for me as a GM with little spare time to prep and far too grand ambitions for the scale and scope of (D&D) campaign I want to run. I’m curious how other GMs have found ChatGPT and similar AI tools useful or helpful in running their own games. I’ll share my own workflow below as a comment, and I...

What’s your favorite tip or trick for running games?

Thought this was pretty interesting, especially in how a West Marches campaign can deal with the problems of having more players interested in a game than you can accommodate at the table, and the dreaded specter of scheduling issues. Might try to run one myself at some point!

I hope everyone is having a Fantastic December! With the Holidays in full swing, I wanted to give everyone here a present, by doing all the prep work for a fantastic Holiday One-Shot for you! Then, in turn, you can gift that experience to your players! And what better gift is there for players who have been so good, than an...

tl;dr - What resources do you know of (blogs, videos/youtube channels, books, etc) that cater to improving your skills as a TTRPG player? I’m looking for the player equivalent of MCDM’s Running the Game, The Alexandrian blog, etc directed towards players....

Hey folks, Matt “Running the Game” Colville is launching his own RPG, and it is NOT a d20 clone (though it has some similarities to D&D 4), and so it’s not weighed down by legacy mechanics like Armor Class and Ability Scores. The campaign video, and the page, will tell you about the game’s core design, so you can decide...

Reading and playing [RPGs] literally helps us to understand the world, in the truest sense, better. And this in turn means that those of us who are engaged in the hobby, as with all hobbies, are engaged in a pursuit of “sense making” that is much more significant - and useful - than a million Sam Harris podcasts or Substack...
