Ability Checks vs Skill Checks

Ability Checks vs Skill Checks When we call for a roll at the table we have a few choices at our disposal - Saves, Abilities and Skills. The uses of and when to use Saves is kind of obvious. We leverage that kind of roll when the player has a

Secret to Consistent Games

The bane of any game group - scheduling. How do we help keep the session momentum moving if we don't have consistent games? The answer is you can't really. But that doesn't mean all is lost. There are alot of things we can do

Collective Consciousness of a Campaign

When we talk about TTRPGs we often talk about the DM acting as the world. They are the AI interacting with the players, creating the NPCs and the world for them to play around in, we forget that the DM isn't the only one building the world. Today

RIP Vamiris - Letting Go Without an End

We have all had it happen, the terrible. A game falling apart or a campaign stopping before the end. There is no closure on the loose ends and suddenly the character you have been playing is regulated back to just stats on a page with no life. It can be

Whimsy at your TTRPG table

It might seem pretty natural for whimsy and TTRPGs to go hand in hand. Alot of us use our time in these games to escape the real world and explore a fantastical setting with a group of like minded adventurers. However not every setting, system or campaign is suited to
