In the process of writing this week’s #Daggerheart campaign and I’ve realized that I need to prep 5 different scenarios because my PCs could do any number of unexpected things! Why did I think setting them loose in a city was a good idea?! #ttrpg #GMProblems #ForeverDM
That feeling when you belatedly realize that something you used as a throwaway gimmick in a game session actually has huge implications for the game world and will upend the entire balance of power in the setting.
I kind of like it.

What’s an inanimate object your players already don’t trust—even before it does anything supernatural?

Tonight’s Rotted Tropicz stream has been delayed until next week.
Turns out dual-streaming, plug-ins, and hubris are more powerful than any Super-Z.
We’ll be back. Better armed. Less optimistic.

Ah yes, the eternal GM dilemma: the plan vs. what the players actually do. Some parties chase the plot. Some interrogate the plot. Some set the plot on fire. Which one tests your patience (and sanity) the most?

All I want is a high-rez image of a gunslinger riding a dragon, you'd think that would be easy to find. #GMProblems

You make up stories and worlds for your friends to play in. But you can't ask your game-minded friends questions about story arcs and character complications, because they're at the table and that would ruin all the surprises.
GM friends, what do you do?
Four books on a wooden coffee table. Left to right, top to bottom: Tomb Raiders of the Crystal Frontier, Dolmenwood Player’s Boog, The Valley of Flowers, and Dragon Town.
This is what I’m reading. I gotta keep up for my current games, pitch the other two and read the one that doesn’t get picked for fun.

I recently remembered that dnd solo play existed. Now, no players isnt a problem.

The Players’ Handbook. Too many of you haven’t read it.

My player tried to seduce a cursed sword today. The sword now has a crush. The paladin is blushing. I am emotionally unprepared.

Why do I keep doing this to myself? 9 hours is simply too long to GM and now my Sunday is basically just one giant recovery day.
There will be no productivity today. The only available activities including video games, watching anime, and taking naps.

Apparently they want to play a Farming Simulator not investigate weird happenings in the woods. #ttrpg #gmproblems
DM/GMs: what’s the worst/funniest name you’ve ever made up in a hurry?
Allow us to introduce you to Jeff…

Totally agree. “How do the PCs move forward if they don’t find it?” is another question I try to keep in my mind. But I love the idea of having it be an added bonus, but will always struggle with them not finding it too. #gmproblems
Trying to decide if my players can sneak/intimidate their way into this particular plot point or if the combat I have planned is the way to get them more engaged in what's going on in Waterdeep. #DnD #GMproblems
Picked up #DragonBane from #FreeLeague.
Now I just have to find 3-5 adults with the same 4hrs free in the schedule every week. *sigh*

..all these new games out there and here I am reading Fading Suns Second Edition (Revised) because Dune Prophecy inspired me... #ttrpgproblems #gmproblems #ttrpgs
One of the PCs in my VtM home game is about to die. We rolled the dice in secret so I could plan the next session and they could make a backup character. I am both excited and scared for the rest of my players about what comes next. #TTRPS #VtM #GMproblems
So...I just did the math. Playing two games set in the same world on different timelines is one thing...
Having one game go on hiatus and the other game play twice as soon as usual means....
5^3+3(6-4)/7x-(-1/4)=....The season finale showdown with the Big Bad is next weekend.

World building is weird. I've done two major "flavor" changes that my players will never know about.

Does any other GM create little hooks and then spend days expanding on them just in case the party decides to follow them? Just me? #GMproblems #TTRPG #DND
#gmproblems.
I feel the same way about the DND game I’m running.
I haven't run a real game in over a year and now I'm looking down the barrel at four. Meep. #dnd #gmproblems
