Hello adventurers,
I’ve been working once again with @bardic.tools to create some new chilling horror ambiances.
It has evolved a lot since our first collaboration, and I cannot recommend it enough, as it has turned into my got to audio soundscape.
Happy hunting,
Kris
That also goes for @mattcolville.bsky.social and @slyflourish.com , since what I want to do is essentially what they’ve been doing so well for many years (“running the game” and “the lazy dm”), but in interview form :)
And we could have a fun segment too, like “tell me about that one NPC that was supposed to be a joke but your players loved Sochi u had to do them for the next 40 sessions”.
We all have a story or 10 like that, and it’s always fun to hear.
It may bankrupt us, but the more I think about the show, the more cool ideas I have about the format.
Like, there are GMs out there doing amazing things, and I learned what I know mostly by watching them play. Imagine getting the knowledge straight from the source.
I’ve been obsessing for weeks: We should film a high-quality show where I interview amazing GMs for their tips.
4 guests in mind, but great production is 💸…
Eff it.

A very kind user at UKGE came to our stand and brough to my attention that one of the two fonts in Bardic Tools is really hard to read for people with Dyslexia, to the point of *gasp* distracting them a lot during the game.
Unacceptable!
So here it is, a toggle to use a much friendlier font #dnd

Hey!👋
I’m Borja, and with the help of my wonderful community of GMs we’re building Bardic Tools, the best soundboard for #ttrpgs.
The goal is simple: Make perfect sound dead-easy to prep, and play it in game with one click.
From pre-made scenes to deep customisation, I hope you’re delighted.
It's #TTRPGRising which means it's time to help those smaller accounts find a wider audience and rise up!

What other calculators would you like to see?
"Will I one-shot the bard with my Fireball?"
Ah, the age-old question.
To help with that, we've just released a new small, gorgeous calculator for #dnd5e (and #ttrpg that uses dice). Try it now down here 👇👇👇👇

“…but remember that the larger hobby doesn't dictate what happens at your table – you do.”
1000 times this.
So many questions from DMs boil down to: “We made up this cool rule, but it’s not in the books. Am I doing D&D wrong?”
Are you having fun? Yes? You’re good.
It’s your game, not Wizards’
There was indeed a lot of pin :D and some scars left that may never heal (many dearly beloved NPCs are dead).
It was all worth it though.
Best of luck in your game!! May you bring the light of the Morninglord to the vale afoot Mt Ghakis
It is done.
Our heroes defeated the avatares of the Dark Powers, and for the first time in many lifetimes, the Sun rose over Barovia.
We all cried good tears 😭😭😭
Thanks :D it is a dream, actually, there were many points where I thought we wouldn’t get here.
But I got really lucky to have very invested players :D
The Bardic Tools Soundboard, with a scene called "Fighting the Gods"
Tomorrow, it may very well be the last session of a 4-year Curse of Strahd campaign. 73 sessions 😱
I'm now preparing a playlist called "Fighting the Gods", and I'm getting a SO hyped. And little emotional, honestly 🥲
It's not how it ends in the book, but I wouldn't change a thing.

As a person who loves cards much, mucho more than dice, thank you for putting these together!
Sometimes they have wild hypotheses of who the BBEG is, and what they’re up to.
Sometimes those ideas are really cool.
Sometimes you remember them, and the play them out as if they were the plan all along 👀👀.
Not me, of course 👀👀👀
Would never do that
For this #SelfPeomoSaturday, I have an old walkthrough of the main features in Bardic Tools, the #ttrpg soundboard I’m building !
As you’ll quickly tell, I’m a much better programmer than youtuber :D
