Red Graves is the definitive #ShadowsOverSol sourcebook and campaign for the the dark future of Mars. It explores humanity's ongoing terraforming effort, the corps that rule the Martian spires, the gangs that rule the colonial tunnels and the sinister things that stir dark. #ttrpg #dnd #ttrpgsky

Maximum immersion, minimum hygiene. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme #ttrpgsky #ttrpgcommunity

As part of an expedition to Antarctica, the heroes face rivals, plotting secret societies and the frozen wastes. But nothing can prepare them for what awaits! Expedition Beyond Mount Terror is available to buy! https://buff.ly/3XdJ7pk #ttrpg #dnd #rpg

Which #ttrpgs have the most innovative death/injury mechanics in your opinion? Tired of hit points? What alternatives have you seen that create tension without instant character death? #rpg #gamedesign #ttrpgCommunity #dnd

GM Tip: Want your players to hate the villain? Have her impose annoying inconveniences on the party. For example, if the villain is a corrupt city ruler. Have her soldiers impose a tax on the party, or search their possessions and seize an object of moderate value. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #ttrpgCommunity

What’s the best session you’ve ever winged as a GM? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme #ttrpgcommunity #ttrpgsky

GM Tip: When a player surprises you with a clever idea, reward it. Even if it wasn’t planned, let creativity reshape the situation. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #gaming

What's the most unexpected item your character has used in a campaign? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme #ttrpgsky #ttrpgcommunity

The world of Trystell is overflowing with the potential for stories of change in a brave new era. Age of Ambition: Campaign Options includes new systems for war, trade and perilous confrontation. Campaign Options is available! https://buff.ly/XUZ8AAb #ttrpg #dnd #rpg

Hey #ttrpgCommunity! If you were to create one #scifi #horror #ttrpg scenario, what are the most important aspects you'd want to be in it? #rpg #dnd #ttrpgsky

GM Tip: Let players fail forward. Failure shouldn’t end the story: it should complicate it. Twists born of mistakes are often the most memorable parts. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #gaming

Raise your hand if you've ever put the triangle in the square hole. 🙋 What the genre that you've seen someone try to wedge into D&D? #ttrpg #meme #rpg #dnd #ttrpgsky #ttrpgcommunity

Something is brewing. A shadow is coming. Be ready. #ShadowsOverSol #ttrpg #dnd #ttrpgsky

GM Tip: Nothing's creepier than the familiar made wrong. The office where everyone smiles too much. The grocery store that's never quite the same layout. The neighbor who's just slightly off. Start normal, then twist it. #ttrpg #horror #rpg #gaming

What's the strangest map or reference you've used to create a dungeon crawl? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme #ttrpgsky #ttrpgcommunity #worldbuilding

The 1904 Saint Louis World’s Fair is to be a wonder of the modern age! But a sinister force is at work in the shadows, perverting the dream of the World’s Fair into a dream of world conquest, and only the heroes can stop it! World's Fair is available! https://buff.ly/1jyAQe1 #ttrpg #dnd #rpg

Hey #ttrpgCommunity! What's your favorite way to introduce a mystery into a game? Stumbling upon the crime scene, cryptic NPCs, strange events or something else entirely? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg

GM Tip: Running pulp adventures? End every session on a cliffhanger. The bridge collapses. The masked figure reveals themselves. The bomb timer hits 10 seconds. It both fits the genre and leaves players desperate to come back. #ttrpg #pulp #rpg #gaming

What's the best NPC your party has ever adopted and turned into a companion? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme

The character who spends the entire session processing their feelings while the party is being chased by a squad of heavily armed robots. What's the best (or worst) emotional beat dump you've ever encountered at the table? #ttrpg #rpg #ttrpgsky

GM Tip: Give players narrative control sometimes. Let them define a small fact about the world, a rumor, or a relationship to make the game feel more collaborative. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #gaming

What's your favorite way to drop hints about an NPC's betrayal without spoiling the moment? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme #ttrpgsky #ttrpgcommunity

Finding themselves exiled to a remote island prison, the heroes must gather their resources and, eventually, discover a means of escape. Escape From Prison Isle is available! https://buff.ly/8cmJmfN #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #fantasy

Sometimes I ponder the different ways that #scifi #ttrpgs handle hacking or other computer-based action. What are the best mechanics you've seen for handling hacking in an #rpg? Which game and what made it work well? #ttrpgCommunity #dnd #ttrpg

GM Tip: While there's no need to prepare every detail, don't under-prepare because you were afraid your efforts would be wasted. Nothing you make is ever wasted. You can use it later, in this campaign or the next. Even if you never use it, the practice still made you a better GM. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg

Got my Shadows over sol box set from @tabcreations.com it's a really nice looking spread. #TTRPG

Do you have a player who always brings the same character vibe to every campaign? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme #ttrpgsky #ttrpgcommunity

When the team accepts a contract to find three missing workers on Domus Station, they must enter the decaying secondary ring. There, amidst the failing life support, a killer seeks to echo a seventy-year-old massacre. Get it here: tinyurl.com/5n9aes7p #ttrpg #dnd #ttrpgsky

GM Tip: Shorter, consistent sessions often work better than marathon games. 2-4 hours keeps energy high, fits schedules, and is easier to prep for. Players remember tight sessions more than exhausted eight-hour slogs. #ttrpg #rpg #dnd #gaming

How do you handle it when the dice completely derail your planned encounter? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme

There is more to Arth than meets the eye. Just below the surface exists all manner of paranormal abilities, from psychic powers to a myriad sorcerous traditions. Mystic Secrets is available! https://buff.ly/1Zif7cA #ttrpg #dnd #rpg

What's your favorite player archetype to have at your #ttrpg table? The tactician? The roleplayer? The chaos agent? The rules lawyer? The quiet one who drops brilliant ideas? (And which one are YOU?) #dnd #rpg #ttrpgCommunity

My copy of Shadows Over Sol by @tabcreations.com came in and it looks so good! Holding my work in my hands is by FAR my favorite part of doing this stuff. Second is my kids begging me to run this for them. 🤣 If you your own copy, you can find it at www.tabcreations.com

GM Tip: Share information freely instead of hiding it behind rolls or denying it entirely. Informed choices are much more interesting than random ones, and sharing information gives the players more authorial power, which makes the game more engaging for everybody. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #gaming

Which system completely changed your perspective on what tabletop RPGs could be? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme

The air is getting crisp and it's the perfect time for a deep dive into a complex campaign. All you need is a group committed to a three-hour session and a supply of excellent snacks. Happy fall, adventurers! #ttrpg #rpg #ttrpgsky

Just got my backer copy of @tabcreations.com's Shadows Over Sol 2nd Edition #TTRPG! I can't wait to really sink my teeth into this over the next couple of days

GM Tip: Modern settings let you use real geography and current events. Players recognize city names, understand tech limitations and bring their own knowledge. Use that familiarity, then subvert it. #ttrpg #rpg #ttrpgCommunity #ttrpgsky

Which architectural style would your fantasy character prefer for their lair: Art Nouveau or Art Deco? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme #ttrpgsky #ttrpgcommunity

Communication with Martian Terraforming Station 7378 has ceased. Something inhuman arrived with the last ice shipment, and now the crew is altering the project parameters. Investigate the silence before it endangers the colony! Thirst is available! tinyurl.com/4xypuej8 #ttrpg #dnd #rpg

New arrival today. I backed this on Kickstarter. It's a beautiful book to hold. The GM's screen is lovely. A sci-fi horror rpg by @tabcreations.com. I'm looking forward to getting some quality reading time with this. I much prefer hard copy to pdf. As to scheduling play time, ehm...

Hey #ttrpgCommunity! If you had to pitch your current campaign as a one-sentence elevator pitch, what would it be? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg

Hey @tabcreations.com, just got my Shadows over Sol 2e box set, and this thing is gorgeous! Thanks gang - really well done! #ttrpgsky #ttrpg #ShadowsOverSol

GM Tip: When you can, step back and let the players run the scenes between themselves. Two characters arguing strategy. A heart-to-heart around the campfire. You don't need to narrate everything, let them build the party dynamic together. #ttrpg #rpg #gaming #ttrpgCommunity

Has one of your player character's casual attitudes ever clashed hilariously with a serious campaign moment? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme

GM Tip: Good foreshadowing comes in threes. Mention the detail once, players ignore it. Twice, they might notice. Three times, they'll start theorizing. By the time it pays off, it should feel earned, not random. #ttrpg #rpg #dnd #gaming

Ever had your players fall for a mimic's charm? How do you keep them on their toes? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme #ttrpgsky #ttrpgcommunity

Hey #ttrpgCommunity! What's a common GM habit that you think should be reconsidered or even eliminated? #ttrpgs #dnd #rpg #gaming
