A slightly more advanced discussion about #ttrpgs would be that of trivial encounters. Things like being stopped by guards while entering a city or buying rations aren't as meaningful the longer a campaign goes. How often do you use them?.#ttrpg #dnd #ttrpgcommunity

Encumbrance is, I think, an important point of discussion for #ttrpgs. With online play, its not too difficult to track, but object weight is tedious to track when it's not automated. And I dont know anyone who thinks its fun. Do you track Encumbrance? #dnd #ttrpg #ttrpgcommunity

The death of the game store, is definitely one of the saddest things I've seen in recent times. #ttrpg gamers, why do you think game stores are dying, and can they be resurrected? What could a flgs do to get you to come out and help them keep the lights on?.#ttrpgcommunity #dnd

Ya know, this is a tired discussion. What I will do is approach it from a business point of view: the combat wheel chair miniature didn't sell at any gamestore I've been a part of. And as for your 'inclusivity', I DM for disabled people. They don't play these characters. 1/2.

Alrighty people, it exists in a meme so it must be fact, right? Do you like infodumps at the beginning of a session, or is it a hard pass?.#dnd #dnd5e #ttrpgcommunity #ttrpg #pathfinder2e #meme

It's not a fun mechanic every time, and that also applies to tracking ammunition, weapon durability, and downtime. BUT it should be tracked in sessions with a heavy exploration focus in hostile terrain like deserts and tundras. It lends itself towards immersive play.

Another optional rule (at least in some #ttrpgs) is flanking for advantage! Do you use it? Compared to some rules out there, I think flanking generally makes sense and mostly works well in the games I run. How do you feel about it? #dnd #ttrpg #ttrpgcommunity

Why is there so much hate on tieflings lately? Considering there's an entire layer of hell dedicated to lust, it's not that weird for devils to get it on with humans, not to mention the existence of succubus/incubus and other predators of that variety. #ttrpg #dnd #ttrpgcommunity

They say that when life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade. Nobody tells you how many freaking lemons life gives you.

Maybe actually run games for them and figure out what they want. My blind player plays a character that can see, and my wheelchair players play people who can walk. I run public play where anyone can join a game. If you aren't doing that, you don't actually represent diversity.

Why are wizard towers so expensive?. Quick maths- 15,000 gold for a tower- exchanged to the dollar at 2,390 dollars per gold piece. So. almost 36 million. I'm never gonna be able to buy a home. 😭

Heres a deeper topic for ya. Those who really want top-tier characters need to give them a family. "But people with families don't go on adventures!".Why not?.It stands to provide a secure income for months/years per job. Do your characters have families?.#dnd #ttrpgcommunity

Now, after the discussion about tieflings being an infernal race, and a decent chunk of people wanting not liking them, do you feel equally passionate about Aasimar as a righteous race since they are descended from celestials? #dnd #ttrpg #ttrpgcommunity

For GMs out there, how do you feel about players introducing lore? Do you feel like it steps on the toes of your role in the game? I feel like most players don't know how much lore and world building they can introduce. I welcome it, but what do you think?.#ttrpg #ttrpgcommunity

We cycle through these topics over and over, and people get so angry about them. Why? Folks get so heated, so I'm curious what your logic is behind people's passions. Lmk if you have any good guesses. #dnd #dnd5e #ttrpgcommunity #ttrpg #pathfinder2e #meme

Let's discuss a topic I'm especially fond of! Heroism. Personally, I feel better after a game where my PC does good things. Do you feel that playing a heroic character inspires you to be better in your daily life?.#dnd #ttrpg #ttrpgcommunity

I'm running a DM workshop later today. For those experienced DMs out there, what advice would you share to new DMs? I'll pick a few of the best ones to share with the group. #dnd #ttrpg #ttrpgs #ttrpgcommunity #pathfinder

Alright, here's a deep discussion. for those who don't like certain #ttrpg races (for whatever reason), why do you find it beneficial to hold that view? What's the value in your POV? Would you reccomend other people share it? #dnd #ttrpgcommunity

So it looks like #WotC (like always) is passing the costs of their poor business decisions onto others. I understand why companies do it, but it's still dishonorable. Laying off over 1000 people when the executives who make the bad decisions stay. Smh. #dnd #ttrpgcommunity #ttrpg

Dear Dungeon Masters,.Just wanted to remind you that you're a nerd, running a made-up game for other nerds. Having a god complex where you need to flex your 'power' over other nerds is dumb. This also applies to superiority complex players. Be better. 😑.

@DieinPlace I am the oldest that Gen Z has to offer, and I'm self-employed, working half the time I did at a full-time job and making twice the income. What worked for older generations no longer applies, or I'd maybe be working for someone else. 🤷♂️.

For most of my fellow #ttrpg enjoyers, how often do you run from an encounter? Retreat feels like defeat, but that is something an actual adventuring party would need to do often. Lmk what your take is. #dnd #ttrpgcommunity

Alrighty, here's a regional map of one of my campaigns. I'm using inkarnate, but I feel like there should be some stuff I can do to level up my map making skills. Who's working on maps? Feel free to show off and post some tips in the comments! #dnd #ttrpg #maps #ttrpgcommunity

Alrighty, let's make something together. 🍻.I'm thinking we'll make a fully stocked in-game library, so. go ahead and drop a book title and author in the comments! I'll make a list/table out of it when I'm done and post it here. Get creative! #ttrpg #ttrpgcommunity #dnd

Time magic is messy as hell. I'm curious, has anyone run a good time travel campaign? I think that this and multiverse concepts are extremely difficult to implement, so is this something we completely ignore or do you think it can work? #ttrpg #ttrpgcommunity

Some editions and games are more egregious than others in this regard, but death needs to be a part of the game. Aside from the 'there's the door' approach to players who like being difficult to kill, how do you make death matter? #ttrpg #ttrpgcommunity #dnd

For the folks playing #ttrpgs, which do you think fall apart more often? In person groups, or online groups? I believe that online groups are easier to join, but group retention is important, and irl may be better if that's the case. What are your thoughts?.#ttrpgcommunity #dnd

Ahem. Exactly how many of you are working on their own ttrpg system? How many on their own modules? Show of hands in the comments, please! If you feel inclined to share any info, feel free! I like hearing about everyone's projects. 😁.#ttrpgcommunity #ttrpg.

What's your favorite kind of dice and why? Personally, I'm a pretty big fan of metal dice since they tend to 'drop' it helps me get the rolls done quickly as a DM who needs to get a lot of rolls done quickly. Bonus points if you show off your favorite set!.#dnd #ttrpgcommunity

Alrighty, I'm doing some worldbuilding today. What are some luxuries that the wealthy would have in a high magic setting? There's always fine food, beautiful estates, and elegant clothes, but what about the little things that show disposable income? #TTRPGs #dnd #ttrpgcommunity

Dear wheel chair debaters,.You have my permission, as well as the permission of everyone who likes this post, to stop talking about wheel chairs in #ttrpgs. Maybe try again next year. Or never. Sincerely,.GM & Friends.#dnd #dnd5e #ttrpgcommunity #meme

So. has anyone tried hippo? I have a sneaking suspicion that I will need to describe what hippo tastes like after one of the groups fights a dire hippo on a river encounter. They've debated the ethics of humanoid creature consumption before, so this probably warrants some prep.

Since things aren't too heated at the moment. harassment and cancelation. I believe you can block people with conflicting views or who are jerks, but it takes a whole new level of hate to actively start tearing someone down and to tell others to do it too. So. why?.#ttrpg
