There are many things wrong in the world. This place is my 'escape room'. TTRPGs, mostly D&D - started in 1984 when AD&D (1e) was the current version. And boardgames. Software developer. 🌈ally, believer in democracy. 🇪🇺🇳🇱. He/Him

A player in our Family Matters campaign loves Alpacas, so last session I gave them a new pet! #dnd #statblockwizard

I created this over a year ago, but the party never was near a herd of wild Alpacas until last session 😮‍💨

Look what arrived in the Netherlands! I know what to read the next few weeks. Good thing there's a big battle coming up in the next session of our Family Matters campaign 😇 @themonstersknow.com #dnd #5.5e

Our Family Matters #dnd party found a group of wheat thieves, including the sister of two party members. The party pretends to join them. Next Sunday, they will find a sandy track through a lush forest, with huge claw prints and fresh piles of dung, but their beasts of burden refuse to go near...

The Family Matters party found a remote village, ready to have a party because a visitor had arrived. A tributary dinosaur race was about to start, and the party invited to take part. Each player controlled a dino racer (one for the party, the rest for their opponents). The party racer won! #dnd

Their prize is a statuette that when broken will summon a platoon of the village's best archers. The visitor appears to be the disguised otherworldly mentor of two party members. He directs them to a little detour, because of <reasons>. Is this mentor trustworthy? Tomorrow's session may tel... #dnd

Had a fun #dnd session tonight where the main event was my character crafting legendary items for each party member Now the DM has to come up with 6 legendary items. He has some time, sadly 😇: no session next week because the host is abroad

Summer holidays are almost over for me, resuming work next Monday 👍 🤩 Also resuming #d&d - 6 sessions planned in the remainder of this month, and 5 in September

A new era for D&D players began on Sept. 17, 2024. A new era for Dungeon Masters begins on Oct. 6, 2026. That's right—just two more months until REMONSTERED! THE MONSTERS KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING reaches shelves! Why wait for it any longer than you have to? Pre-order today! spyandowl.com/remons...

what makes a setting an 'official' #d&d setting? generally I ignore official settings because * I hate arguments about "that's not canon" * they always contain parts that I don't like at all * changing even a tiny detail often causes a lot of patch work - I rather use that time to create my own 1/

so instead I loan the parts that I like and I do that from any setting, official or not because being official is not the same as better, more fun, or less work so excuse me, new official settings don't excite me a lot also, I loathe dark fantasy #dnd #deathsaves 2/2

Fate doesn't get enough love, and there may be some folks wanting a Masters of the Universe-style game. Thundarr the Barbarian. Silverhawks High adventure with science and sorcery mixed, and people play interesting heroes.

I'm honestly blown away by this. I was wondering what happened to this board. Finding out it has been active for 6 months and packed with people I consider to be amazing stewards and community leaders of the game is so sweet! www.dndbeyond.com/posts/2180-i... @dndbeyond.com

"never split the party" D&D is doing exactly that, by making "drops" content into a subscription perk, not a purchase Their CEO wants D&D as a "live service". Splitting between those that will or won't play online "I have a case full of books", he says, but only reads short term gain $ signs

Why on earth did @bsky.app make it so that you have to add a comment to share a link to a post now? This is imposing an extra step on sharing posts with my spouse and friends for no good reason whatsoever. Were people sharing too many posts? Did they need to be stopped?

Just finished our monthly game night. I played Go and Love Letter. I hadn't played Go in at least 20 years, but somehow managed to win 1 (of 2) games against an experienced player. Beginner's luck, most likely. #boardgames #gamenight

My d&d 'Family Matters' party just met their first dragon - a silver dragon posing as the CEO of the local ice factory. They also learned that six sessions ago, they have mistaken an evil wizard for a friend. Now, there is a fight with an adult red dragon looming in their near future. DMing is fun!

Having some busy d&d days ahead with 3 different groups: playing Thursday night, DMing Saturday afternoon (start of a new campaign) and Sunday night in our ongoing Family Matters campaign. Something about rain and pour.... could not be more exited though

Today, a new version of StatblockWizard was released - the tool that formats 5e and 5.5e monster stat blocks - you only need to type the text. Please visit statblockwizard.github.io for more information, and see the image for more details! #dnd #statblockwizard

I don't like the current dndbeyond website at all. Technically it is better than before, but the content is hidden behind so much marketing *?!**! It may be on target for new users, but it definitely repels return visitors. #dnd #wotc

Hé Harderwijk, stem jong! Mirjam is 27 jaar, studeert voor Docent Engels in Zwolle en geeft les op het MBO in Zutphen. Daarnaast speelt ze graag DnD en maakt ze haar eigen kostuums.

In a few weeks, we will finally start our new Spelljammer campaign. I pitched it as "monster of the week", but since we postponed the start for over a month, my preparations have been more extensive – there could be a bigger story in there, somewhere It's so hard not to give spoilers now

What is the DM (or the module writers) trying to say when powerful npcs present themselves initially as a centuries-old young girl? I mean, it's weird that it happened twice, isn't it?

Als het luchtalarm 8 minuten na de normale tijd gaat (in Súdwest-Fryslân, zojuist), is het dan géén test? Als het toch een test was, dan volgende keer misschien gewoon overslaan als de tijd voorbijgegaan is en een 'gefaalde test' accepteren? @ministeriejenv.bsky.social

Trying out digital drawing for the first time for real. Supported by my 4yo niece. She did the good parts... #dnd #spelljammer

The vtt I prefer is getting even better!

New update for Trackers with some of our most requested features! ❤️ 17 new icons 👁️ Private trackers 🔈 Volume control 🧽 Easier range scrubbing 💯 Brand new counter tracker

Finally decided to look into #Daggerheart . First impression of the set is solid. (thought the errata document, downloaded from the website, is almost 3 pages) Any suggestions what I, as a long time d&d player, should pay extra attention to?

Thought up a monster for my next #dnd campaign: the Buscador. Some say this creature was bio-engineered to crawl the universe in search for something. They could possibly even communicate over astronomical distance. I'm looking for an artist (paid) to visualize this beast.

🤔🤚🏼Our dungeon master is having a wonderful time (I hope) in far-away lands, so no weekly D&D tonight 🤪👉🏼 Time to prepare sessions for my other 2 groups #dnd #sunkenisles

Our monthly #boardgame night (2nd Saturday of September-June) is happening on Valentine's Day. Any recommendations for games matching the theme? I already have Love Letter

Just spoke with someone who's a huge fan of the Alexandrian, but was surprised when I mentioned I'd written a book. Good reminder that every day has a lucky 10,000. Maybe today's the day you learn about the USA Today Bestselling SO YOU WANT TO BE A GAME MASTER.
