GM Tip: Character death should feel earned, not random. Give players a chance to make final choices, have last words or go out in a blaze of glory. Death is more meaningful when there's agency in it.

An older man is holding multiple smartphones mounted on a frame. Text above: 'Me running a combat encounter with multiple stat blocks, keeping initiative, DJ'ing the battle music, taking notes, and arguing with my partner over text.'
How do you manage multitasking during intense game sessions?

GM Tip: When you can, step back and let the players run the scenes between themselves. Two characters arguing strategy. A heart-to-heart around the campfire. You don't need to narrate everything, let them build the party dynamic together.

The cover for the PDF of Shadows Over Sol 2nd Edition, a hard science Scifi horror game
Here we have @tabcreations.com's Shadows Over Sol 2nd Edition, another Kickstarter I backed! I actually started following pre-launch after seeing ads and reading good things from people that played 1st Edition. This is another one I'm really excited to get the physical edition of when it's ready
Tweet meme. Text reads: 'If you ever have to completely improvise a megadungeon (for some reason, may god have mercy), find a map of a large, asymmetric shopping mall, preferably with multiple levels for the layout.' Below the tweet is a colorful map of Sawgrass Mills, a sprawling shopping mall layout with multiple labeled sections and entries.
What's the strangest map or reference you've used to create a dungeon crawl?

Hey #ttrpgCommunity, especially #indie creators!
Where do you source your stock art and illustrations? What sites or artists do you recommend for budget-conscious publishers?

GM Tip: Traps work best if they make your players think, rather than just knocking a few health off a character. Traps that temporarily split the party or cause some sort of other ongoing hazard are among my favorites.

A meme featuring a scene with a smiling woman clasping her hands together mischievously. The text above reads: 'When your players are having a touching scene with an NPC that you know will betray them.'
What's your favorite way to drop hints about an NPC's betrayal without spoiling the moment?

GM Tip: Side quests shouldn't feel like distractions. Tie them to the main story, either thematically or emotionally. The rescue mission mirrors the party's larger quest. The seemingly random NPC connects to the BBEG. It's a shared world after all.

A meme where someone asks why everyone is a Social Justice Warrior and suggests other classes like Social Justice Mage or Social Justice Thief.
Where's the diversity in builds?

Hey #ttrpgCommunity!
Are you team physical books or team PDFs for your #ttrpg collection?
What made you choose your preferred format? (Cost, portability, searchability, aesthetics?)
#dnd #rpg #ttrpgsky
GM Tip: Consider using safety tools like lines & veils or the X-card. Discuss boundaries in Session Zero and respect them during play. A safe table is a table where everyone can be fully present and engaged.

Top text: When the party splits up to get info and they regroup later. Image shows two men covered in feathers. First man: Why the hell did you take your shoes off? Second man: Why the hell are you dressed like a chicken?
What's the funniest thing your party has done after splitting up? Share your stories!

GM Tip: Don't take yourself too seriously. Your players will probably find some childish way to mock whatever awesome name, scene or character you came up with. Just roll with it.

This is one of the scenarios in our archives. It's for the first edition.
I'll double check later today to make sure to make sure it's in the first edition bundle. If it was somehow overlooked, I'll make sure it goes out with the updated PDFs this week.
I suppose you got a charter one to get there.
A group of four Squirtle characters wearing sunglasses labeled 'Unfinished Campaign' are excitedly greeting another Squirtle labeled 'New Campaign Idea'. Text at the bottom reads 'made with mematic'.
How do you decide when to start a new campaign versus finishing an old one?

What's your favorite player archetype to have at your #ttrpg table?
The tactician? The roleplayer? The chaos agent? The rules lawyer? The quiet one who drops brilliant ideas?
(And which one are YOU?)

GM Tip: Not every journey needs to be played through step-by-step. Try travel montages. Ask each player for one scene from the road: a campfire story, a close call, a discovery, etc.

A meme featuring a tweet by viridiandnd that reads: 'My favorite type of rpg puzzle is one that I, as the Dungeon Master, don’t know the answer to and am just waiting for them to do something entertaining enough for me to say “yeah that does it.”' Below it, a reply from the-dm-experience says: 'this hurts,' highlighting the relatable humor for DMs improvising on the fly.
What is your opinion of these sort of puzzles?
