Out of curiosity, can you recommend any #ttrpg / #dnd "checklists" for

- designing campaign settings
- designing campaigns
- designing adventures?

I mean, I know how to do all those things if I am running games. But it might be a useful exercise to fill out such checklists for that setting based on German #folklore that I keep daydreaming about - this way, I could figure out which elements are already covered by folk tales and which I need to develop on my own.

I run the teen's D&D group at my local library. We play twice a month. They want their game session at the end of October to be horror-based. They're eager to be frightened.

I've scared my D&D players before but have never had the entire session be horror-based.

Any advice?

Got asked today what someone can do with my #ttrpg system https://versesrpg.com, and I thought I'd go into some detail:

Let’s say you are thinking about building a TTRPG built in a #folk #horror genre. You want to create opportunities for players to explore the creepy esotericism that underlies the real-world history of folktales. You've got a cool idea for how to structure a way to convert folk #monsters into a rules framework to enable horror-tinged encounters

Number of #solarpunk#TTRPG #games with dedicated fighting mechanic / focus on it:

3+

Number of Solarpunk TTRPGs games focusing on firefighting / disaster response, with dedicated mechanics:

0?

"There is just no conflict in Solarpunk, nothing dramatic"

Am I the only one who thinks that firefighting / first responder games would be absolutely awesome and better than any shootout?

I just had a #ttrpg / #dnd thought:

Most living, biological beings of the "Material Plane" are strongly shaped by evolutionary forces. We are descended from countless generations of other creatures whose selfish genes (or the equivalent) desired to propagate, and thus made their host creatures strongly motivated to have offspring. Individuals can of course differ, but all in all these behavioral imperatives are pretty strong.

But what if fey/fairies and similar spirits do not have the same evolutionary drives? What if fey "parents" do not pass on some equivalent of "DNA" to their children? What if the offspring of fey is not shaped by the parents' essence, but either their conscious decisions or some environmental factors?

Fey could still be motivated to create offspring. Perhaps they want companions, or servants, or tools. Perhaps the notion strikes them as interesting, or funny. But their intrinsic motivations and behavior regarding their offspring are going to be very different from those of, say, humans.

When it rains it pours. My power is back on, but I've lost a lot of income and workdays to appendicitis, so I could still use help.

New #TTRPG thing from me - my first dungeon!

A collaboration with amazing artist Brendan Barnett, “Flee the Flying Saucer!” is a light-hearted A3 “dungeon” in which your characters try to escape a UFO.

An entry in the 1-Page TOONgeon Jam inspired by season two of the #QuinnsQuest podcast #PlayToFindOut, in which the gang played Toon.
