SO YOU WANT TO BE A GAME MASTER. For those braving their first dungeon, it's a step-by-step guide. As one delves deeper into mysteries, raids, heists, wilderness exploration, and urbancrawls, the book transforms into the ultimate GM's survival guide. thealexandrian.net/so-you-want-to…

@Grumpper I've actually heard from several people becoming first time GMs with Daggerheart in one hand and So You Want to Be a Game Master in the other. They seem to be having a great time. I, personally, haven't had the pleasure to play Daggerheart yet.

@hexcrawl @hexcrawl is it suitable for daggerheart cause I’m about to order the core set as my first step into ttrpg and wonder whether to add your book also in the basket before checkout :)

@vgregorian @real_dr1 "I can't vote for the best and most eligible person in this category because--" Lemme stop you there. You've fundamentally misunderstood your job.

If you're talking to someone who says, "I asked the LLM why it said that..." What they're saying is, "I have no idea how LLMs work."

@sebi_kargl It's amazing how much those two simple d100 tables supercharge Mothership's character creation. I'm running an MS open table now, so I'm seeing a lot of new players creating characters. Always a great moment.

@hexcrawl Another example I love is how the funny little trinkets in mothership get so much hype from my players Like they will build entire personalities around "Rich captain, poor captain" and "titanium toothpick" i can't 😂👏

GM Tip: If you combine procedurally generated outputs (random monster + random reaction, random room type + random curious item, etc.) you've exponentially expanded the range of possibilities AND spurred greater creativity through the closure required to combine the elements.

What do you do with your character sheets between game sessions? Character sheet logistics are the type of thing you might never think about, but it's a technical flourish that can have a significant impact on your game. thealexandrian.net/wordpress/5317…

For posterity: Know ye that there was a time when the Google Maps app let you manually adjust your route. (You could even do it in multiple ways!) Someone made the conscious choice to cripple the app so that you can only follow the route they dictate to you.

Less than 3 minutes into the Ken Burns documentary on the American Revolution, and we get: 1. White people are bad. 2. Native Americans had a centuries-old democracy before British colonists arrived. 3. Benjamin Franklin copied the Native American blueprint.

Enshittification of @plex has reached terminal velocity. They now charge $250 to run remote-access media servers. When I asked why their Android app no longer supported local network streaming, I was told it's no problem because I could still watch their ad-riddled videos.
