Schedule for the week of 3/23/25-3/29/25!💛 I'm gonna be busy this upcoming week, so schedule's a lil funky. My apologies for the inconvenience! In the meantime, check out my new CAIN supplement DISTORTIONS, free on itch now

4k views, 1k downloads, and 100 followers over on itch. I just drop the odd project I thought would be fun to make, yet you continually humble me. Thank you for your support!💛

Extremely pleased to announce a homebrew supplement for the TTRPG CAIN: DISTORTIONS. The hunter loves nothing, not even themself. Now you'll see why. Link (for free) below!💛

TTRPG Advice! If your players are causing havoc for no reason, don't respond with seriousness. Respond with havoc of your own. Respond with the energy your players are interested in engaging with, don't try to force a specific playstyle

TTRPG Advice! To change a combat's difficulty, simply alter how tactical the enemies are. Want it to be easier? They choose targets based on kneejerk reasoning, like who dealt damage to it most recently. Want it to be harder? They focus down the highest priority targets

TTRPG Advice! There actually aren't rules. None of this is real. There are no scriptures shackling you to the "right" way to play. When making believe you must blind yourself to the constraints placed upon yourself. So yes, your players CAN do that thing. Should they? Eh...

TTRPG Advice! Your group doesn't want to try a new system? Implant the core premise of the game into their subconscious, whisper temptations of the things that excite you about it. Then strike the final blow and tell them you're running it, a shepherd to your loyal flock

TTRPG Advice! So you said "yes" to something your players are now exploiting. The raucous dullards! Deny them in the future. REBUKE them for their lack of imagination. In the realm of unreality, "fun" is paramount to precedence

Yo no way, my feedback PLAYS on critical role

TTRPG Advice! You have nothing prepped for this session. Give one or more of the players a prompt, a scene they find themselves stuck in. The remaining players introduce obstacles and play NPCs, all while you furiously finish your notes. Let them go crazy, as a treat

Schedule for the week of 3/16/25-3/22/25!💛 Be on the lookout for the premier of my Girl Frame Review this week. Yes, I will discuss the whole book. Yes, I will be in a maid dress. This is the direct result of you meeting my community challenge, I'm just reaping what I sowed

TTRPG Advice! Your players can't hit the broad side of a barn. Glassy-eyed troglodytes! Drop in environmental effects that have a skill check to deal non-traditional damage. Explosive red barrels, a hanging chandelier, a pit of acid. Anything other than an armor of ill fortune

TTRPG Advice! So a player can't make a session. The ephemeral rapscallion. Simply ignore the fact the character is missing. Upon the revenant's fateful return, it's up to them to regale you with their reason of their absence, from journeying on their own to simply sleeping in

TTRPG Advice! One PC is stronger than the others? The yellow-bellied duck thief! Allow your players the reprieve of fighting appropriately-leveled encounters where the enemies use tactics to prioritize their greatest threat: the one PC. They shall earn their place through blood

TTRPG Advice! So your player wants to seduce an NPC? Sure, Jan. If they're so maidenless as to resort to relying on die rolls for rizz, they're hopeless. They want romance? They must earn it! THEY MUST SEDUCE YOU, THE GM!

Criminally underutilized plotline: Objectively Good Faction vs Objectively Good Faction. No, one isn't secretly corrupted. No, one isn't "nominally good but actually problematic." Give me two paragons that come to blows over irreconcilable differences unrelated to ethics

TTRPG Advice! Puzzles too difficult? Your poor, sad sop. Not every puzzle needs to be memorable, yet they should never trivial. A middle-schooler's riddle or a high-schooler's brainteaser are both far beyond the intellect of the average TTRPG player

TTRPG Advice! Your players don't roleplay? The sullen-eyed ingrates. Treat them like wounded animals, turning your back as to not intimidate them while placing crumbs in your open palm. Entice them with gentle, consistent nudges with restraint as to not scare them off

TTRPG Advice! A player wants to implement their backstory into the game? The selfish little mongrel. FINE! Make them describe how their backstory gets introduced, see how THEY like it! Give THEM the reigns and see if they can handle GMing for a spell
