I’m trying out #HabitStacking from #AtomicHabits, linking a tiny new habit to something I already do.
Have you played with this idea?
How did you make it stick?
Would love to hear what worked for you.
Or do you have an alternative you recommend for #SelfImprovement let me know.

Last week’s #DND session needed a quick one-shot.
I improvised a divine dissection in the Abyss.
The players didn’t know if they were saving an angel or finishing what the Red Wizards had started.
Writing it up as Mercy in the Abyss.
Like if you want to read more.

Last nights #DND oneshot went well. The pregen characters were well received. I adapted Death-at-Sunset from Dragon Delves and ran it for 3rd Level Characters.
My version focussed around the players with a prophecy of the Dawn Callers, tasked with returning light to the Heartgrove Forest.

Just finished pregenning 6 characters for a #dnd one-shot for tomorrow.
It's given me a really good grounding in the 2024 rules, but my god these characters are pretty complex. Why did I make them level 3!?
It's taken me more time to make these characters than the game is going to run

The Rule of Cool is a gymnast on a tight rope, juggling knives. There are times when you've got to button it down, call the rule out and make sure everything is fair, but I'm sorry sir I am at that table to make it Epic (with a capital E), swing from that chandeliar for me!

I was just thinking about this yesterday:
Large Format
Letter is 8.5 x 11 inches used in US mainly.
A4 is 8.3 x 11.7 inches is more International
Small Format
Half Letter 5.5 x 8.5 inches
A5 is 5.8 x 8.3 inches
For Print at home rules could you create a format to fit these dimension?

Not all failure is created equal, and embracing that can unlock better gameplay.

Such a great way to kick a campaign off! It can really help to get everybody on the same page and to establish the ground rules. Bonus points if you can slay the scheduling beast up front 💪
GM Tip: When planning a multi-session campaign, always run a Session 0, where the entire group builds characters together and discusses expectations. This way no one ends up blindsided by the tone or planned direction of the game.
