Preparing for tomorrow's #DnD session.
The PCs are going up against the guardian demon they inadvertently released when they spoke the wrong command for a magical portal. #GamePrep #GMPrep
Figuring out NPCs for my #DnD campaign. To save on prep time, I'm trying to leverage the generic NPC blocks from the Monster Manual, and then tweaking (rather than building out the NPC characters with D&D Beyond, which is what I normally do).
I think this will work, though I'm disappointed there's no archdruid in #DnD2024 (though it's easy enough to use the one from Mordenkainen's Monsters of the Multiverse). #GamePrep #CampaignPrep #DungeonMasterLife

#Dragonlance #GamePrep day!
Last session we left off with the flying citadel being spotted in range of Kalaman. So, our heroes are heading into the last climactic battle of the module.
And it's another section that ties in perfectly with the Winter Soldier plotline. (I mean, flying citadel? Hydra helicarrier? Really!) So, I get to finalize how I'm going to work in this next appearance of the Winter Knight for our Steve Rogers paladin and friends to angst over.

#Fallout2d20 tire kicking complete. I'm glad we did it; I needed the practice for the #MEPACon game I'm running next weekend.
It also gave me some ideas on what I need to prep, print out, etc. My scenario is an intro game, so I want to make sure it flows quickly/easily while retaining that #Fallout feel. #TTRPG #GamePrep

Using methods, that don't rely on some specific device, is the topic of this article. If you marry your process too greatly to anyone tool, there's always the chance you could find yourself without that tool.
Find a way to outline your game session or campaign, get a method, and a set of steps, but make sure those steps can work whether you're in Microsoft one note, or sitting with a pencil & some index cards.
Playing around with streaming on Moonbeam. No sound because there are people in and out of the room as we hang out on Labor Day Weekend. #Experiments #GamePrep #Greyhawk76 #DnD
I'm kicking back with some #Battletech reading (Decision at Thunder Rift). If I dig the vibe, then its #Mechwarrior2E or 3rd for my next campaign! #GamePrep
Experimenting with using tab groups to organize my encounters for tonight's Greyhawk '76 campaign.
All the monsters and NPCs are on D&D Beyond, and tonight's encounters have seven or so entries. That's a lot of tabs to be switching between (especially when you add in all the other tabs I'll open in game). #Greyhawk #GamePrep #DMPrep #DnD2024 #DnD5e
#Dragonlance #GamePrep this afternoon. :ablobcatbongo:
#AlchemyRPG has been running *really* slow for the last couple of days since the last update. So, hopefully we can get through the game without any major issues.
Tonight will conclude the Test of High Sorcery. We left off last week with the players walking out of a cave into a city in chaos beset by a flight of pissed off metallic dragons.
Created my main dragon NPCs. Now just setting up the encounter spreadsheet used to track combat.
Got my feet up and resting so doing some prep for my #RimeOfTheFrostmaiden tonight the party are in hot pursuit of some thieves who stole a bunch of chardalyn from Easthaven town hall…well unless they get distracted by something else on the way. Due to breathing issues, it might be a text-based session but hopefully they'll still enjoy the boat race to catch the thieves if they are clever and quick they might even manage to face one of the Sunblight brothers before he escapes! I guess time will tell. haha
Working on #Greyhawk76 and realizing I have no idea how to make a farmhouse in #Inkarnate. So I'm off to see what's available in community contributed maps. #DnD #DnD2024 #TTRPG #GamePrep #Maps
This is super handy: A D&D calculator for determining the percentage chance of success given a d20, a skill modifier, and a difficulty class.
Plus you can set advantage, normal, or disadvantage AND add modifier dice (like from the spell Guidance)
In map hell. This may be my last transmission. #GamePrep #Greyhawk76 #DnD
