So far in the #daemonwastes game: a bard who can't sing, a warlock who misses every eldritch blast, a goblin vs kobold slap fight, giant bats, a medusa's hair doing a victory dance, a cat dragging a handaxe down a carriage, and people wondering who's driving the train #ttrpg #dnd #eberron

It was lovely, a really well done update to an old classic pub that wasnt fussy or soul dead, just comfortable with odd etsy-fuelled whimsy here and there

Map – A Hut In TheΒ Wilds Another dusty landscape, a small hovel, a spring, and five system-neutral plot ideas for game sessions using the maps provided

I had fun making this map - so here's a few variants, and five system-neutral story seeds for encounters using them in your games #vtt #maps #dnd #ttrpg

dusty desert-like encounter map with a square field just off-centre. the fence in the bottom right corner has been broken. The landscape around it is dotted with bushes and boulders, sand and rocks

I had an idea for an encounter for low level characters - capture the escaped auroch - so here's the field in the outlands as a 25x25 map #maps #ttrpg #dnd #vtt

Map – Badlands RavineΒ Crossing Another quick 30x20 map to grab for your vtt or ttrpg of choice - and a link to the Dungeon Alchemist file share if you want to grab a copy

I'm still making maps, it makes me happy, and here's a free encounter map set in that most fun location - a rickety bridge that may not be entirely sound #maps #vtt #ttrpg

Wood framed print on a golden hued wall. The print shows a white hare sat attentively, looking into golden light glowing from the right of the frame. In silver ink is the artist's signature

Thats the latest Paul Kidby print up in the hall, just by the door, looking out - as i've said to @katyafirehair.bsky.social I love these softly lit studies and I've another two in this style to frame and place.

Librarylife: That BusyΒ Buzz I've said it before, and no doubt will still be saying it in years to come, but the best sound to me is one of a library full of chatter and noise. We're not talking shouting and crashing, just the hum of conversations, children being children, and friends welcoming each other. If there's faint music and song coming from somewhere, that's a bonus.

I'm having a quietly happy moment or three working in the library - and here's why: a celebration of community and collaborative working

Map – Corpse CartΒ Ambush We ran our session zero for the Daemonwastes game this weekend - and it went well. I've already blogged about the preparations and options, so won't go back over it - but it was good to confirm our starting line-up of six players. Once we'd gone through the tech checks and problem solving, I then used this map. With one of our players being completely new to using the set-up, it was a good way to test everything. So, this map is a simple trackway through dusty outlands between rocky outcrops.

We've run our session zero for the new D&D game, and this is the map I used to check setups and get people used to the tech #maps #vtt #dnd
