Tomorrow is Rifts session 3, and I'm reading about Psi-Stalkers for absolute no reason (nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more). #Palladium #GMPrep

Some great campaign set-up tips for adventures in Misty Vale (and RPG adventures in general). He uses Obsidian too, which is something I'm slowly getting into. #Dragonbane #GMprep #TTRPG #Obsidian.

A player asked for #Shadowrun, so I’m diving into the different editions. My thought is 3rd, as it build on 2nd, which was my favorite. What are folks favorite edition of the rules and world setting? I’m still debating but do love Shadowrun. #GMPrep

Breaking off my main game design to mock up a GM prep sheet based on how I prepare to run Spawned by the Tenebrium games on a session by session basis.
Maybe I need to start recording 'prep with me' you tube vids to capitalise on the success of the 'plan with me' genre.

@thejacobshelby.bsky.social is dropping some serious tech for harvesting rules. I think it's elegant to write what failing the proper procedure can look like. Simple, but game changing for #ttrpg and #gming #gmprep

The #Rifts OCC/RCC list is locked in for my mini-campaign! Can’t wait to drop a player brief later—this OG #Palladium run is gonna be chaotic fun. Embracing the brokenness and just vibing! #ttrpg #GMPrep

I can't get my head around long examples of play in text (although I know others love them).
But a long example of written session prep for particular systems... that I'd be all over.
Definitely putting one into Carnival Tenebris!

I’m debating something. So social media brains trust, if you could see me run any time period, any system, and any genre, what should it be and why? #TTRPGs #GMPrep

Today's #GMThoughts
If you make yourself verklempt while doing #GMPrep, you know that both the players and the audience will be even more emotionally devastated.
Invest in emotional trauma for the player characters

Today's #GMThoughts are focused on the advantages of Actual Play VODs for GMs. When my notes are not 100% complete, I can double check and rewatch the VoD to remember the details. Very useful when i need to remember specific outcomes for specific NPCs

Today's #GMThoughts are focused on knowing that sometimes the world will break even without the PCs actions.
And knowing that sometimes you just have to kill the GM darling NPCs.
I'm thinking it will be interesting to add a clock to the players timeline on Sunday #FromKovirWithLove

I figured it out.
Sometimes the drive home gives the best opportunities to figure out #GMPrep.
Now to just make sure I get the notes recorded before I forget

Rifts Session 1 is just 9 days away, so I’m loading all the characters into #Roll20 using Gecko’s sheets, which are an absolute lifesaver. Highly recommend! There’s even a full YouTube series to walk you through it. #TTRPG #PalladiumSystem #GMprep 🎲🧙♂️💻

MFW I have to prep an adult dragon combat... But I really like my current goblin party. I don't want to, but will absolutely roast them with flame breath. It is my GM duty to let them know fear and pain. Also, give them many treasures if they survive

I like to skim through the adventure to get a vibe check & outline important beats
Then I make quick reference cheat sheets like these
I run a very off the cuff game that focuses on player agency so things go off the rails almost immediately
