#ttrpg PbtA games rely strongly on a set of small rules packages to create a feel and game flow. These are Moves.Look for the Move that can be flexed into any situation that doesn’t cover the other moves. Identifying that will help you run any PbtA game.

#ttrpg I play board games and video games to get inspiration for ttrpgs mechanics. I like hero shooters like Marvel Rivals to get me thinking about class design & how characters and their kits can work to create unique playstyles within a games parameters. What are some games you’ve got inspired by?

#ttrpg Games aren’t really about one mechanism working, it’s about how several things work in conjunction to create play flow. My favorite GMs understand how mechanics work together and can make calls in game that keep the narrative strait and in line with the mechanics.

#ttrpg I’m a fan of giving clues to players. No reason to hide them behind rolls, especially if they’re what the players need to move forward through the scenario. Just come up with alternate bad things to happen when a roll on trying to get clues fails. It’s one of your best uses of fail forward.

#ttrpg Timers are your friend. Put them on your adventures. As ways to end adventures in failure, ways to alter the adventure when the PCs take too much time, ways to introduce elements that twist the scenario. It gives the players something else to play against.

#ttrpg Happy New Year. So I have games going-and some that just started-so with New Years I’m thinking about what’s coming after them. Right now it’s Rapscallion, Masks of Nyarlathotep, DnD 5e homebrew, and some of my own designed games.

On my horizon…

#ttrpg Gaming is at its core a social experience we do to hangout with our friends and enjoy some time together in a shared activity. I hope I never lose sight of that primary feature and that everyone out there gaming remembers it at the end of the day.

#ttrpg I’m writing some adventures for publication in a product. I’ll talk about another time. It’s got me thinking about what is useful to a GM and how to present it as short and concisely as possible.

1. Situation presented clearly enough for the GM to understand what’s happening.

Is there any well produced tabletop game design podcast that are newer, like releasing episodes in the past six months. I know it’s not a sought after topic in podcasting but I miss listening to the discourse of mechanics, their intentions, how they work together, and the experience they create.

#ttrpg If you want to have a monster hunting style scenario where the first time the PCs meet the monster is out in the world with no heads up, make sure you explain that they might need to run away, go do research, and then come back. Also, use a timer. If there’s no timer then there’s no tension.
