Me when I forget what a city is called so I just make it up on the fly and it haunts me for the rest of the week #justdmthings

Could not be more chuffed that one of my players has resorted to making an actual red string board to document all the mysteries in this campaign 😁 #justdmthings

Started my birthday by finishing up a d&d session wherein I nearly killed the cleric, possessed the barbarian, got the druid to surrender, and sent the warlock, wizard, cleric, and monk running into nearby mines to avoid capture. Happy birthday to me! 🎂 #dnd5e #justdmthings

I'm wondering if it would be easier to take my homebrew and build it off Daggerheart than D&D. #JustDMthings

my player: “how’d you get into dm’ing? i wanna try one day…”

me: “i woke up, said ‘i wanna be a sexy hot evil necromancer’ and decided to use my closest friends as my props to do so”

Tell me your DND blunders to make a newbie DM feel better! I’ll go first.

I almost gave away our group’s secret warlock because I forgot which arm had his pact mark. 🤪 #ttrpg #dnd #dndparty #justdmthings

I started this D&D planning with lofty ideas, but now that I'm partway into it I think it might be terrible and stupid, and now I have to decide whether to double down and push through or abandon the idea and do something else.

I have about 50 modules running on my main Foundry game/world. I kinda want to start fresh now that I have a better idea of what I'm doing and what I need. Before I do that though I want to test some other modules and then go from there. I'm also curious on the timeline for when version 13 will […]

I'm posting this because my players are having a crisis because they might have to kill the hot enemy who is the embodiment of fear that they provided a peaceful respite for in act 1 by giving them their first ice cream experience ☺️

Sometimes I wonder if I'd meet more people if I weren't obsessed with creating plotlines and characters in my head.

Then I make more and forget about those thoughts.

Alright history is semi done. Now I can work on the calendar. Then I can work on a short background for the archivist/historian NPC Lysandra Silvermist.

I am really concerned with how my brain works. I started the other day thinking I'd really like to have a good calendar for my homebrew world because what I created earlier wasn't really working.

Now here I am two days later with a timeline that loosely goes back 5,000 years, naming ages […]

In yesterday’s sessions I legit dropped 8 hooks for my players and I have no idea which one they’re gonna tug on. So the only rational thing to do is develop ALL of them. #justDMthings #DnD

Decided to name this world "Kajimajer," after my players. And I hope they never explore it cause that's way too much stuff for me to create. #justdmthings #dnd #games

I got to attack one of my player characters with a physical manifestation of their own inner turmoil today so that was fun.

#JustDMThings

I've been working on the story for my mini campaign and let me tell you ... Now I just want to write out a whole campaign adventure. Like serious world building and all that. Cause y'all know I loves a good story. #justDMthings

Sometimes inspiration strikes and I over prep a bit. #dnd #obsidian #justdmthings

Ahahhaah I may have forgotten to prepare for tomorrow's Pathfinder session, so I will be doing that today. #justDMthings

Here's a magic trick I used on Sunday that I highly recommend to anyone running a #ttrpg (especially D&D):

"Poof! All your characters know each other."
"Poof! All your characters are friends."
"Poof! All your characters are willing to go on an adventure together."
#dnd #poof #justdmthings

Today I killed my first player in dnd. Went from “you pull your punches too much sometimes to “you a SAVAGE.”

Finally made it

Morning gamers!

Remember DMs, if you have players that constantly remind you about a character missing, or inconsistent details, nod your head and move on.

After all, they can't figure out why there's snow in town when they arrived in summer.

Tonight, my players are going to face their final boss. It’s a NASTY fight. I can’t wait. I just ran around singing “We’re off to kill some players! Some players are going to die!” to the tune of “We’re off to See the Wizard.” #justDMThings
