The more I think on it, and I know this greatly differs from what people have come to expect in recent years, but to me a TTRPG with no adventure modules is like booting up a video game and finding out the devs didn’t make any levels. Like I wanted to play this but I guess we’ll have to wait until someone in the group, who may have never played the game before, spends a not-insignificant amount of their free time in the level-editor throwing something together for us to play.

Maybe this is a silly statement, but I never realized how much love and care goes into being a dm and it’s made me really passionate about planning my current campaign. It’s like yeah you’re putting in a ton of work learning all the rules to the game and writing the story and planning so much shit, but you’re also making a gift for your friends. You’re sitting down in front of your laptop, energy drink in hand, asking yourself “How can I perfectly curate a world that my friends will love? How can I incorporate their interests and their wants and their needs?” It’s like no matter how hard writing the campaign gets or how tired I get of working at it endlessly, I never ever feel like giving up because it’s not just for me, it’s for my friends whom I love dearly. I love you enough to build an entire world for you, I hope you like it.

Rolls to Alarm Your Players

Want to spice the game up? Why not try alarming your players for no real reason? Make sure to make a show out of counting the dice before you roll.

Here's another battlemap (and animated token) that I worked on for The Dungeon Archive. I made the base art for that nice crystal bug there, and the most of the assets for the caves (and overpainted the crystal flowers there too). @/mr.vaank on instagram was in charge of the animation and put together the map proper~

You can get the map itself for free in here, and we offer gridless versions to patrons. Go give it a look!!
