I’ve seen a lot of artist Patreon’s who make #DnD battle maps, but they’re always very small, they usually look like they could only fit a handful of people. Anyone follow any artists who make really large battle maps? Like something that could be used for an entire army. I’ve been looking for this for a while but never had any luck

Curiously contemporary article considering the #ogl events.

Roleplay Is Folk Art
Adapted from the original I wrote for the fantasy audio magazine CANDLE. Under the Ogl's Gaze Recently there's been plenty of turmoil in the roleplaying hobby, especially among publishers, about the rumored moves by Hasbro to cripple the open-gaming license, which helped trigger the OG OSR
Dragoncrown GamesI think we need to take a moment to acknowledge that, with OGL 1.1, @[email protected] and @[email protected] are effectively making the game less diverse and inclusive, and by extension, TTRPGs in general.
For us minorities, #DnD is often an entry point.

For myself and my co-designer, we’ve been doing everything in Google Docs so far, just to get the text down. We’re at around 200 pages at this point (probably around 90% of our expected final length) and planning to begin moving things over to Affinity Publisher. We went with Google docs at first because of the ease with which the two of us could work collaboratively, but it means we weren’t able to think much about layout at all while writing, and I’m not sure if that will bite us later
Question for fellow #TTRPG writers/designers. What tools do you use most often when designing your games? Do you start straight away in something like Affinity Publisher, or do you write out the text elsewhere (Google docs/word/something else)? Is all of your work purely virtual, or do you do some work by hand before translating it to software? Really curious how others are creating, and what a new designer like myself can improve on!

Old School DMI've decided that next year for Christmas, I'm buying everyone in the family a copy of Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson. More people need to recognize that Erikson is the greatest fantasy writer of all time - better than Tolkien, better than Le Guin, better than Martin.
Better than EVERYONE.
Vicki KyriakakisA reminder that on Mastodon you are the algorithm. If you’re seeing content you don’t want, block or filter it out. Boost things you want more of. You control what you see. It’s better than trying to control others. Focus on curating the kind of feed you’re interested in.
If you don’t want to see politics, unfollow people who post or boost a lot about politics.
The #birdsite is very passive in terms of what it demands from you. Mastodon isn’t. It’s a mind shift but it’s a good one to make.
