So glad to see new and familiar faces here. One thing I'm hoping to see here as opposed to the Flaming Hellscape: more personal experiences. Signal boosting is great, but I'd rather hear first-person accounts from people I know than endless boosts of the same echoes. Teach me something I don't know.
Teos and Shawn having fun recording the show. Images of the D&D golden 50th anniversary logo and the blue Hasbro logo are superimposed.

I've seen lots of interest in continuing my daily TTRPG writing tips! I'll pick them back up next week, after I spend the rest of this week focusing on many design and writing tasks. Thanks for the support, and please check out the Grim Hollow Transformed Kickstarter if you haven't! grim-hollow.com
Thanks for all the support on the Grim Hollow: Transformed Kickstarter. I'm hoping we can hit the $500k mark today. Big plans for the KS, of course, but excited to reveal some more about the future of the setting and how everyone can get involved! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gho...
You can learn more about them, support the Kickstarter and the work we're doing, and even purchase them early for D&D Beyond by choosing that medium as your VTT of choice in the Kickstarter:
kickstarter.com/projects/gho...
As always, thanks for everyone who has supported my work!
The campaign for Grim Hollow Transformed ends on Friday at 10pm Eastern. If you love thematic #dnd settings that offer cutting-edge rules that support play, I'd be thrilled if you'd check it out! All the goodness--and a whole lot of badness--is waiting for you. www.kickstarter.com/projects/gho...
Cold Iron Keep is a deadly and fun adventure site in Grim Hollow, and I'd love to be able to work on that. And Great Beast Mutations to horrify and delight players? Yes! Let's see if we can knock out these stretch goals in the final hours:

If you've been enjoying my TTRPG tips, and if you've followed my previous work, I invite you to the kickstarter for Grim Hollow: Transformed. We have a week left in the campaign, and I think it's going to be something that a lot of players and GMs might enjoy.
There's just a few days left!
Shawn looks on as Teos is obscured from view by the Greyhawk art he is holding up, depicting a marid emerging from waters to talk to Baklunish merchants.

TTRPG Tip 23. Ways to lessen dissonance (if a goal): Make rules that simplify or streamline play. Tie what a character can do to who the character is story wise. (See Fate games.) Tie narrative outcomes to mechanical outcomes more closely. Make story goals and characterization a mechanical element.
TTRPG Tip 20. Most people need to recharge their creative batteries. Remember to take the time to do something else. You’d be surprised how often problems or blocks that aren’t solved through concentration are solved when looking elsewhere.
TTRPG Writing Tip 8. Tone and atmosphere can be the hardest elements to capture in game writing, especially worldbuilding. When clarity is so important, much weight can be carried by careful word choice. In the “Show vs. Tell” dichotomy, telling can be a great use to get across tonality clearly.
Thanks to @masteringdnd.bsky.social for the shoutout for Hit Die: the Game! Just a fun little game where you throw your dice at one another*
*at other dice, not at each other.

A screenshot of a post from Facebook describing how a bunch of prompt jockeys hired by a studio failed spectacularly when asked to do basic design revisions. The original is too many words for alt text, but can be read here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1404116417142065/posts/1459674184919621/

A scary image of a D&D Beholder with it's central eye staring toward you. It's mouth is wide open in a frightening grin with it's long tongue snaking out. The words "Nightmare Fuel" are written in front of the Beholder.
