A screenshot of the "Your Journey" widget from the Redcap Press Map Explorer, which now has a toggle for "Show leg colors?"
Quick little quality of life update to our Map Explorer:
You can now show the colors of each leg in the "Your Journey" overview table, rather than just in that leg's dedicated "travel mode selection" card.
Play around with it here: redcap.press/map-explorer

Broodmother - CR 8
Bloated and slow, the broodmother sleeps at the center of her web. A sudden vibration signals the approach of an intruder. She stirs. Tonight, her children will feast.
A terrifying monstrosity... with a surprise ending.

What
D&DBeyond finally caved and is calling the 2024 update "5.5e."
...time to go make about a million label changes on the Redcap Press website 🫠

Don't panic if your players do something unexpected that completely upends everything you've been planning.
You don't need to come up with all the ramifications of what they did on the spot, you only need to buy time till the end of the session.
(Plus, that's what makes the game fun!)

I homebrew creatures/items/etc. directly as JSON in VSCode 🙃
This will 100% be worth checking out, Perils & Princesses is an absolute blast!
Oh yeah that looks great, I'll give that a try. Thanks!
I was looking at that one! It's honestly currently the front-runner but I'm worried it gets a little hard to read when it's bolded.
Vollkorn is another that's subtler, but not quite as evocative.
Congratulations!
It is surprisingly hard to find a cool font with an old-school / fantasy / TTRPG vibe that doesn't hurt readability.
Anybody have any favorites?

DM Tip: If you're going to surprise your players with some big reveal, do it when they least expect it.
Fighting some goblins in an unimportant random encounter? One of them knew your long-lost father.

What's the coolest thing about Crows so far?
It definitely killed the dramatic tension, that's for sure!
Everything's going great until you accidentally describe a large double door as having "huge knockers" and bam, session over.

If you want to follow along with the development, consider joining our free Patreon: www.patreon.com/RedcapPress
I'll be posting longer updates there (though BlueSky is still a good option), and Redcap Press will likely use Patreon for handling logins anyway.
Redcap Press tools all live purely in your web browser. Our most-requested feature (by far) is to add a log-in so whatever you do can live beyond your browsing session.
The more I work on that, the more I realize how much work it'll be.
Posting to keep myself honest: IT'S COMING!

Happy Valentine's Day!
Celebrate by messing with your players in your next D&D session with a Cupid. Cute little angel baby? Mischievous prankster that just might get somebody killed? Who knows?
Link to stats: redcap.press/creatures/cupid
Also: last day to shop our Valentine's sale!
#dnd #ttrpg
There is no better feeling as a GM than watching your players figure out the plot twist you've been subtly hunting for months.
#dnd #ttrpg
If you're handling your party's shopping between sessions, keep it fun with a custom shop! Choose what's for sale, add custom items, and make shopping easy for your players with a shopping cart that handles discounts, etc.

Only a few days left to get any and all Redcap Press adventures for 60% off!
#dnd #ttrpg
I have @andyserkis.bsky.social singing as Tom Bombadil stuck in my head, and it's making me wonder why I'm sitting at work instead of dancing in a forest.
Nothing is more satisfying as a DM then bringing back the party's favorite NPC from ages ago, when the party thinks they'll never see them again.
Bonus points if they're from a previous campaign, and even more bonus points if their life is now different because of what the party did.

This is rad
I saw this post and feel like this is a really important opportunity to talk about gender and my own background and the creation of Perils & Princesses and what it means to me as a personal piece of self-expression and as a communal piece of work as a role playing game community. 🧵

This is a picture somebody posted of the (awesome) hand-drawn map they used to run our Die Hard-themed one-shot. I'll never get over how fun it is to see actual evidence of people having fun with our stuff out in the real world!
