I ran the Nimble #TTRPG for some friends. Excellent support in FoundryVTT a slick character builder. We had a lot of fun and hope to get a few more sessions in before starting whatever our next long-term campaign is.
Most #worldbuilding advice is outside looking in. Turn your GM notes into in-world artifacts—letters, journals, wanted posters—that make your setting feel alive.

After wrapping our #DnD5E campaign a few weeks back, I ran Nimble #TTRPG this week!
A super fun time.

I appreciate all of the replies! I won't be able to respond to everyone, but I'll reach out individually to those who seem like a potential fit.
I’m looking for art for upcoming #TTRPG projects where the vibe is “80s-90s animation” style. Think Gargoyles tv series, Secret of NIMH movie, etc.
Please send me your human artists available for commercial work. 🙏

Things got weird as I smashed inspiration from #DnD5E, ICRPG, and Nimble into one three-headed dragon. I promise it's cool. I do not promise balance.

Another #DnD5E campaign comes to a close. 2.5 years and 48 sessions. One hero died in the finale but it was an epic finish. Long live the Legends of the Nentir Vale 🤘
When players control the clock, the “what do you do” is often completely open-ended with no clear choices to make. When the GM controls the clock, they’re giving intentional situations for players to respond to—choices to make.

Great topic about who recaps the last session. I wrote an article last year outlining why I chose to do it as the DM. Who recaps in your group? #TTRPG

This was a really fun watch. And enlightening.

While there are a lot of tools like time pressure for pacing in #TTRPG, one big problem precedes most of them: controlling the clock. More specifically, who controls the clock.

I was really excited to run this #DnD boss (a shadar-kai witch) that I made with inpiration from Nimble, Forge of Foes, and ICRPG.
The party decided to make a deal with her instead...
