Had a TPK in #dnd. Talked to my players and we are taking a break with some other players jumping in to run games before returning back to the story. Going to pick up with a new crew looking into what happened to the group.

What’s been your TPK stories? Does it kill games?

@faemoira Do you tend tell them what elements you like to include? Like for me it’s light puzzles but heavy mystery and politics.

[Adam the DM @dnd_n_anth]

DMs of #DnD what questions do you ask of new players? Players, what do you find helpful when looking at joining a new campaign?

[Adam the DM @dnd_n_anth]

So one of my players came over to drop off a gift. My nephews heard he played in my game then asked who he played. Then recounted their favorite bits his character and the others did. I guess that’s one plus for playing only online.

[Adam the DM @dnd_n_anth]

How do you handle downtime in #DnD? I am thinking of using Blades in the Dark downtime activities along with the base downtime activities to give it a little more structure. Also add specific projects to work on.

[Adam the DM @dnd_n_anth]

@SpareSidekick Thanks!

[Adam the DM @dnd_n_anth]

Oof. Been kind of quiet recently as end of year work piled up. Slowly got back into the groove of writing up magical sci-fi items for my next #DnD campaign. I REALLY hope these players get on board for planar madness.

[Adam the DM @dnd_n_anth]

Weekend is finally here! Got any good #TTRPG plans? Any exciting battles or sessions of #DnD?

[Adam the DM @dnd_n_anth]

@dratheart Thanks for the mention!

[Adam the DM @dnd_n_anth]

@AvalancheArtis1 I found it was nice bringing back characters and events. Like a recap followed by boss fight and epilogue.

[Adam the DM @dnd_n_anth]

In this weeks #ttrpg Sunday Blades game, the gang sold some drugs and still did not kill anyone. Instead they got beat up. Still one of my favorite games but sort of itching to start the new 5e campaign.

[Adam the DM @dnd_n_anth]

@listento_lonomy Be able to play a new planar adventure in person. Although I think I enjoy online more…

[Adam the DM @dnd_n_anth]

@macca_the_dm I had a unintentional disease subplot right when COVID was getting started. A player pointed that out and I got rid of it.

[Adam the DM @dnd_n_anth]

Played Blades in the Dark for the first time in awhile. The players are hawkers and instead of being very violent murder machines are trying to be diplomatic and have yet to kill anyone. Even did a score rather stealthily.

Theres growth for murderhobos.

Nothing like a goblet of mead to help write content for the upcoming #DnD campaign.

[Adam the DM @dnd_n_anth]

@Vegasucks I always thought D&D would be a good tool for mental health. Of course not a professional.

[Adam the DM @dnd_n_anth]

What hobbies/skills/day job do you bring to #ttrpg?

I spend a lot of time thinking about culture and ruins in my #DnD thanks to archaeology.

[Adam the DM @dnd_n_anth]

@shadomain Lot of synergy there!

@quinnthegm Campaign: The players are a group of Plane Walkers traveling to different planar environments to retrieve magic/resources for their extra-dimensional home city. They are looking to get back home as they travel through the planes.
