Voltaic Overdrive is a project of mine started in 2024 to provide game masters of any system with resources to help streamline the creation of their own worlds and games no matter what TTRPG they run at their table.
What artists or playlists do you like to listen to when you're writing #fantasy or #ttrpg content? I need some new music to focus to and I'm curious what everyone else listens to.

Does anyone have any good tips or suggestions for using #affinity or resources that are helpful for learning design? I'm trying to make my #ttrpg content look more visually appealing. #layout #digitalart

What's your favorite NPC you've come across in a #ttrpg game? Mines a few brothers that all have the same name but with the vowel changed. Makes interactions fun for both the players and dm (none of us fully remember who's who and it's really funny to me)

What's a game you haven't been able to try out but really want to? Can be #sc-fi, #fantasy or anything in between. Curious to hear some new titles to check out!

For big boss battles, do you count damage dealt downwards or upwards? I've thought about trying a multi-stage battle where I count upwards, but curious what opinions are out there

Does anyone have any resources or advice for testing out a #ttrpg or module you're designing? I'm really looking to improve my ability to balance and notice issues before things get published.

What's that one killer feature/role/subsystem from a #ttrpg game you play or are making that's your favorite? Trying to expand my horizons a bit and curious what are the biggest hooks for others out there.

Do people enjoy reading dev logs for #ttrpg s? If you run one please drop a link in the replies, I'd like to discover some new games I haven't seen. I'm also thinking about starting one myself, but I'm not really sure what people would find interesting.

What's the funniest/best trap you've came across for a dungeon? My favorite was one I found on a forum once where there's a bear trap that when you disarm it, it drops a live bear on their head 😂

What's your favorite content to make (NPC's, stat blocks, items, maps etc.)? I like laying out maps and rooms. It's fun for me to work on each room to tell a cohesive story.

Is anyone else working on their own system currently? It's very interesting to be designing a system instead of for a system. I never realized how many tough decisions are to be made in subsystems/overall system design.

I really like this approach. One of the BBEG's in a session I'm working on is really weak (can be one or two-shotted easily) but keeps the pressure up with waves of enemies.

What are some of the ways you find inspiration when #writing #fantasy ? I like putting together idea boards of images that inspire me. Really helps me to hone in on what I'm trying to create.

How do you keep yourself from burning out while writing? Sometimes switching gears to a different project for a few days can help get me out of my own head.
