For over 2 months I've been prepping my next #rpg campaign, and lately I keep saying "you gotta stop, gonna make it less fun for yourself." Today, I restructured my factions to work like in #Mausritter to add dynamicity to the world. So much for not overprepping, but my factions are so dope now

Sometimes it feels like, to the angry internet poster, games are just in the back kitchen waiting to be served up, and the developers are the service that brings them to their table.

Like really, how do you enjoy a hobby and also actively hate the people that make the product EXIST?

I was a player in an #RPG for the first time, and my forever GM curse is lifted. We played #Lancer and miserably failed at killing a Bastion in Solstice Rain. I learned a lot about the player mental map of what RPGs are about, I wrote about it in my blog crawlingkobold.com/my-first-exp...

WE DID IT! We’re making CROWS!

We all want to iterate on works that we look up to. For me, that has always been #Skyrim, with all its flaws. Naturally, when I had the chance to create my own world for #dnd, I drew inspiration from what I loved in it. I wrote about my growing pains in my blog: crawlingkobold.com/learning-the...

For someone who thought milestone leveling in #ttrpg is the One True Way, understanding that keeping players in the loop with a well communicated leveling system was very important.

I wrote about returning back to rewarding XP in my #dnd game:

I've been committing the great sin of having too many players at my #dnd table.

Luckily, it ain't so bad. As GMs we have the universe at our fingerprints. This gives us the eternal power to fuck around and find out.

I reported my findings in my blog post at crawlingkobold.com/running-larg...

We GM because we want to create a world/story/adventure. But sometimes we can get ahead of ourselves and get overwhelmed.

My relationship with random encounter tables has always been rocky, but I think the worst is behind us now. Always felt that they were more "arbitrary" than "random". So how can give them more direction?

You can already read my first article about why I'm even doing this. (Spoiler: I hate what the internet has become and I think we should collectively take back what was meant to be ours.)
