Hi folks. During my recent Monster of the Week campaign I made a resource for myself that I'd like to share.

Introducing Keeper Moves Re-Typed: the same move list you know and love, but organized by pacing/story beats. Free on DTRPG tinyurl.com/2b5ev6r3

#ttrpg #monsteroftheweek

A re-organized list of the keeper moves from Monster of the Week. The categories are: Foreshadowing & Tension, Surprise!, Simplify Hunter Goals, Complicate Hunter Goals, Threaten Physically, Pursue Monster Goals, Multipurpose. Each move type has a glyph next to it to indicate its original sorting (basic, location, bystander, minion, monster)

Looking for a time loop ghost train mystery for Halloween? Thats a weirdly specific ask but fortunately my adventure No Time for the Wicked is exactly that and currently 30% off! www.dmsguild.com/product/4937...

(Stay tuned for my next adventure featuring The Bagman)
#dnd #ttrpg #dnd5e

View from the inside of a train looking out the window. There is no one in the seats on either side. Outside the window the view is all misty other than the reflection of a skeletal figure. There is a title across the top that says "No Time for the Wicked: Trapped on the Cyre 1313." On the top right there is a badge that says silver bestseller. On the bottom left is a small icon that says "A Ravenloft Adventure". At the bottom of the image it says "Trap your players in a time loop on a doomed lightning rail"

Working on another game in my free time.

A screen shot, which reads:

Fucked
Instead of a long list of debuffs, many circumstances in this game can make you fucked. You might get whammied with mind magic, poisoned, knocked really hard on the noggin, or have any other terrible thing happen to you that isn’t damage—it’s getting fucked. Each time you get fucked, your fucked value increases by 1. Whenever you make a test while fucked, you reduce the number of dice you roll by a number equal to your fucked value. If your fucked value is 1 or higher, you can’t flank a creature.
Totally Fucked
When your fucked value is equal to or greater than your highest characteristic, you’re totally fucked. While totally fucked, your speed is 0 and whenever you take damage, you take twice as much.
Unfuck Yourself
You can use the Unfuck action to reduce your fucked value by 1.

Time loops in #ttrpgs are a lot of fun, but really tricky to pull off. If you want to take those first steps I've got some portal wisdom for you. grinningportalgames.com/blog/timeloo...

Oh man, this dumb trend feels like a great place to plug my next project. Why make soulless pictures when you can explore a heightened horror ttrpg world/scenario?
