RPG Tip: As a player, celebrate the successes of others. Cheering on the fighter’s crit or the bard’s clever quip builds energy. Plus, it sets a tone for the table. #DnD #TTRPG

You can do anything as an indie TTRPG designer, but you can never—NEVER—let the part of you that deeply resents Wizards of the Coast die. Go anywhere, do anything, but give up on that Guiding Light in your Heart of Hearts, and it's OVER. #ttrpg

I have to remind myself to post here!!😭

Anyway day 4 of OC_Tober was Bones. I used my OC Lyra, a fallen aasimar who lost her feathers. The new darkness that's now taken hold of her seeps through the cracks of her skin, but she still tries to resist it, clinging to her remaining light.

My sleep schedule is all fucked up, but I've been making the most of it!

This is a reference sheet for my new D&D character 🕸️
Haven't played in forever but my friends invited me to a campaign they're starting.

Of course I had to be a lil extra with it✨
