Kiel said he wanted to do a test of how some of those system's might work, and so we're going to discuss Mecha Hack for two hours, it's going to be great fun.Come join us, see how easy it is to make changes to your favorite game, or just hang out and chat!Check out our Patreon: patreon.com/tabletopterrorsCheck out Kiel on Patreon: patreon.com/RunWritePlay═══════════════ ✠ The Dungeon ✠ (Get XP Below!)═══════════════► CHECK US OUT ON PATREON (10,000 XP) patreon.com/TabletopTerrors► SUBSCRIBE!

Community Productivity Show and Tell #1! (Inaugural) Tabletop Terrors 2022-02-21 | Tabletop Terrors Productivity Show and Tell!Positivity, creativity, and productivity has always been at the heart of Tabletop Terrors. We’ve come up with something we’re excited to show off to our wonderful community of creators. Join us for the inaugural Tabletop Terrors Community Show and Tell! The premise is simple. In this livestream, we'll be going through our own creative works as well as community submissions! We will spend time showing off and discussing each creative work. Start thinking about what you’d like to submit!Creative submissions for the Show and Tell do not need to be perfect or complete, anything you have that you want to submit will be accepted. We will be focusing largely on the pride and joy of creating, so there’s no need to worry about your work being criticized or scrutinized too deeply (unless that is what you want!). Attention will mostly be paid to supporting and showing off our wonderful community! We plan to show off some of our projects as well! Don’t have anything made yet? Don’t have any plans to make anything? You do not need a completed work to submit. In fact, it’s better if you don’t! We want these show and tells to get people excited about creating and to offer a platform to our community to shine. If you’re willing to accept the challenge, get working on something to show off!Here is what we are asking for!Any type of creative work. It can be, but is not required to be tabletop gaming oriented. We’re accepting game rules, poetry/prose, visual art, worldbuilding, music, voice acting, anything you consider creative!Due to the nature of the format, please keep submissions to a reasonable length. Approximately one page maximum of regularly sized text, one to two images, a short audio clip , etc. While we’d love to see as much work as you have, we will be limited in how much we can show off in a stream to ensure everyone gets a chance.Please keep submissions reasonably family/work friendly. Mild swearing and such is permissible, but if things are too graphic/excessive, we will be unable to show it off.You do NOT need to be a patron to submit! The Tabletop Terrors Community Show and Tell will always be completely free and open to anyone. We welcome submissions from all who want to make them!If you’d like to submit something for us to talk about on stream, please send a link to [address] with your work! While we may be able to accept some last-minute entries, submitting sooner rather than later will help us to gauge time and interest! It will also give you the best chance of being a part. We hope to hear from you! Get creating and we’ll see you soon!-Tim, James, and Jeff
The Intersection of Magic and Science Brainstorming Tabletop Terrors 2022-01-23 | Join Cassie and James as we brainstorm what I'm calling "the intersection of magic and science" as we reconcile how those two things can live next to each other. In worlds where fire can be created from nothing (like Igni in Witcher or the fire plasmid in Bioshock, fire bending in Avatar), wouldn’t that break the so called laws of nature? And could that be abused? Are there limits to that? What is the science of magic called?In Legend of Korra, some benders work, shooting lightning for hours to power the city. It’s like a more efficient version of a person standing there cranking a wheel all day. This is a world where they have “magic” but it has limits. Is it only magic until we understand it?Where do these two concepts meet? Is there a study of magic? Is that study of magic a science? We will touch on these and many more concepts.

Hook and Loop Structure Conversation Tabletop Terrors 2021-12-13 | After the first Hook and Loop playtest, Cassie and I are going to go over some things that happened in the game, and my ideas for the system going forward.

Game Design Roundtable - 5e Setting Guide - A Dead Mans Guide to Dragongrin #Dragongrin #GameDesign Tabletop Terrors 2021-09-10 | Have you ever put out something creatively that you didn't think you were capable of? And then when you step back and take a look, you're sort of in awe at how it turned out? What was it?Hopefully you've had the experience in a game as a player, a Game Master, or as a creative person in any capacity. I had that feeling with the recent Absolute Tabletop release A Dead Man's Guide to Dragongrin (aDMG). A small team of dedicated game designers brought a massive, nearly 500 page campaign setting guide and atlas of inspiration to life, and we couldn't be happier with the results.Three designers (of many) of aDMG decided to do a game design roundtable, talking about the facets of the book that interested them the most, and the parts they were most proud of.We're excited to share some of our favorite parts of aDMG with you, and hope that our conversation will inspire you to create something that you're proud of.═══════════════ ✠ The Dungeon ✠ (Get XP Below!)═══════════════► CHECK US OUT ON PATREON (10,000 XP) patreon.com/TabletopTerrors► SUBSCRIBE!

Goblin Space Race - Where the Inspiration Came From Tabletop Terrors 2021-09-06 | "Like a great many others in Revelstroke, you are obsessed with the Goblin Space Race. Lucky "Birdman" Gonzalez started it all when he first launched himself thousands of meters into the air, conveyed by sheer force of will and his trade-secret propulsion gel concoction. Piloting little more than an outhouse with fins and a nosecone, Lucky returned a hero. Toting inexplicable artifacts, and spouting unbelievable stories, Lucky claimed there lied a whole world atop the great beast in the sky."James and Cassie are going to talk about Goblin Space Race. They're also going to share the story of the inspiration for the game, and how it came from a new book about birds Cassie got called The Bird Way.

How to Design a Video Game, (or Any Creative Project) Outside of Your Depth #videogame #design Tabletop Terrors 2021-09-03 | Have you ever had an idea for a video game? If so, what was it, and how close did you get to finishing it?We think anyone reading this could easily say "of course I have ideas for video games!" and then start describing at least one or two in detail. But few (if any) of us have the means to actually finish a playable video game. But should that stop us from creating? Here at #TabletopTerrors, we say no! In this video, we talk about how you can start designing a video game even if it's 100% out of your depth. Game ideas are the starting point, but there's a lot of game development that takes place long before any coding or art takes place, and in this video we'll walk you through some practical, actionable ways to start "designing your video game" without knowing a single line of code.Let us help you start your design process so you can get one step closer to having a finished product.

Use a Rogues Gallery to Make Your TRPGs Better Tabletop Terrors 2021-06-19 | Have you ever used a rogue's gallery in a tabletop RPG campaign instead of one big bad?It wasn't until just recently that I learned that the term 'rogue's gallery' gets it name from being a real set of photographs of known criminals, used to identify suspects.But if you're a fan of comics and other mediums like it, you'll likely know the term rogue's gallery to loosely mean "the set of villains that typically oppose a specific hero."For instance, Spider-Man often faces off with the likes Doctor Octopus, Green Goblin, Venom and Mysterio, while Daredevil is typically pitted against Kingpin, Bullseye, and Elektra. You don't often see Superman trying to stop the Joker from committing a terrible crime, and you don't typically see Batman hunting down Lex Luthor (though when it does happen, it can make for some terrific, interesting stories-- but that's a topic for another time).So what if we made a rogue's gallery for your tabletop RPG campaign setting? And dropped them into your game's the world, each terrorizing a piece of it? In this video, we give you detailed, specific advice for assembling a rogue's gallery, and using them in your campaign. We hope you enjoy, comment below with your thoughts!═══════════════ ✠ The Dungeon ✠ (Get XP Below!)═══════════════► CHECK US OUT ON PATREON (10,000 XP) patreon.com/TabletopTerrors► SUBSCRIBE!

The Secret Ingredient of RPGs | Simplicity (Your Games Will Be Better) Tabletop Terrors 2021-04-20 | Have you ever made things too complex in an RPG session? Or a campaign? What happened?If I could give one piece of advice to myself when I was starting to run games, it would be: "Hey, that's way to complicated, homey." Start simple. Start small. Enjoy the journey of letting things evolve in a tabletop roleplaying game. This is the secret ingredient that can make all RPG session and campaign immediately better in our opinion. Here are some reasons why:- It's easy to make things so complicated new players can't jump in without being overwhelmed- If that neat plot twist is TOO much of a deep cut, you'll be met with confusion, not excitement- If you start off too complicated, where can you go from there?- It can be hard to keep up with everything that's going on from session to session as a player and as a Game MasterWhat about you?

Sometimes we can treat our tabletop RPG character sheets like a menu, and while that's not terrible, what if there was a different way to approach things.On of the main things that we landed on in our video don't look at the list of actions on your RPG character sheet and THEN decide what you want to. Use your imagination to think of creative things your character would do, and then let the Dungeon Master/Game Master tell you what rules may come into play.What would change in your game if you, as a player, think "what awesome thing can I do" rather than using your character sheet as a menu?═══════════════ ✠ The Dungeon ✠ (Get XP Below!)═══════════════► CHECK US OUT ON PATREON (10,000 XP) patreon.com/TabletopTerrors► SUBSCRIBE!

Using #TRPG Mechanics in Unique Ways Tabletop Terrors 2021-03-18 | What is your default stance in an RPG: do you adhere to the letter of the rules , or the spirit of the rules? Can you do both?I just had one of the most incredible gaming experiences, and it was because of an inventive use of the mechanics. But it didn't feel cheap, and it didn't feel fudged. Jeff and I were in an epic, final session of a long running campaign -- it was the final fight with the final boss -- the stakes couldn't be higher, and it was TOUGH.It was a 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons session, and the Dungeon Master (Jeremy Lilley of Erasmus Expeditions) did something simple but profound involving the Bardic Inspiration die, and a point of inspiration. It changed the entire direction of the game, and the outcome was exactly what we needed for the fight-- BUT it did not follow the rules... or at least the letter of the rules. You can hear Jeff tell the story of what happened at the beginning of this video, and then get some tips on how you can do these kinds of things in your game. Overall, we think that when the moment is right, it's okay to allow players to use resources in ways that are unconventional, as long as the spirit of the rules AND of the story remain intact.What do you think?#TRPG #mechanics #inventive═══════════════ ✠ The Dungeon ✠ (Get XP Below!)═══════════════► CHECK US OUT ON PATREON (10,000 XP) patreon.com/TabletopTerrors► SUBSCRIBE!

Ignore the Rules on Purpose Sometimes (D&D and Other Games) Tabletop Terrors 2021-03-11 | Is it sometimes better to ignore the rules of a TRPG? When should you use the mechanics of a game, and when shouldn't you?(If you want to see a master of this principal, check out Jeremy at youtube.com/c/ErasmasExpeditions -- and consider subscribing! In addition to his amazing content, it was just his birthday.)Our thought is that you shouldn't gate the wrong situations behind mechanics. A classic example of this is picking a lock. There are times when the story isn't about picking the lock, its about the boss fight on the other side of the door. That's the perfect example of a time to potentially hand-wave the picking of the lockAlso, if a situation repeats itself, consider handwaving mechanics then as well. The first time you encounter some guards or a trap, it could be a great way to build tension to require dice rolls and a chance of failure. But the second, or third or even fourth time, consider making things narrative. (Because the situations become less important to the story or the characters.)But what do you think about this?We answer those questions and more in this video.

Do Constraints Make Your RPG Sessions Better or Worse? Tabletop Terrors 2021-03-04 | Firstly, you tell us: do constraints make your tabletop RPG sessions better or worse? Tell use below.What do George Lucas making Star Wars and a round of speed golf have in common? They're both both made better by the limitations imposed on them. Our stance? RESTRICTION BREEDS CREATIVITY. In this video we attempt to push you further by holding you back in measured doses. We'll show you specific, simple examples of how limitations and constraint will push you BEYOND where you would normally get. What do you think? Do you find constraints to be healthy? Or harmful? We're interested in any examples. ═══════════════ ✠ The Dungeon ✠ (Get XP Below!)═══════════════► CHECK US OUT ON PATREON (10,000 XP) patreon.com/TabletopTerrors► SUBSCRIBE!

Why do We Kill Everything in D&D? || (There is a Reason) Tabletop Terrors 2020-12-10 | Why Do We Kill Everything in D&D?We'd love to hear any stories related to this, or if you experience the opposite (or any tricks or tips you have to promote or mitigate this concept). I've been playtesting some systems that I'm working on with my 6-year-old daughter. Her only experience with RPGs is whatever I've played with her, and she's never played D&D. As I am working to create systems that have a unique feel and tone to them, it became illuminated to me that the default in D&D as I've experienced is to "kill the threat."In this video we talk about why killing things is so often the default for many tables, and how it's not an incidental pattern, but one that is inherent to the game. In this video we not only discuss why the default mode in Dungeons & Dragons is to kill, but also offer up some ways to change that up at your table! We hope these ideas can help!PS - We love us some combat! This isn't intended to "dunk" on a good skirmish, or put down how fun a good fight can be -- it's an exploration of the default way that D&D is often played.Chapters:=======00:00 - Intro00:27 - My Daughter Sheds Some Light1:30 - We LOVE Combat, this is just an exploration1:46 - Jeff tells us why killing stuff is so common (the rules don't do that mindset any favors)4:16 - So how can you change this at your table?4:47 - James gives us the simplest way to shift the paradigm: straight up communicate it5:50 - Build in a Panic Threshhold!6:39 - What if 0 HP means unconscious, not dying?7:16 - As a GM, don't be afraid to ask players not to kill everything9:21 - How about some new mechanics?

Random Encounters in RPGs (But Totally Different) || Re-Invent Random Tabletop Terrors 2020-12-03 | Random encounters are a polarizing topic in the land of Dungeons & Dragons and other RPGs. There is one camp who feels that randomized encounters are the only way to make the world feel inhabited, dangerous, and alive, Another camp feels that an encounter that is totally random can take a tightly-paced, story-driven session and derail it entirely, feeling like the random element was a tacked on waste of time.But what if you could take the best of both worlds and smash them together to create something totally new that does both of these things? In this Tabletop Terrors video, James, Jeff and Tim talk about an entirely new way to look at random encounters that takes danger and chance and blends it with story and characters in a meaningful way.We've never used random encounters because we were of the camp that they felt tacked on and didn't contribute to the overall narrative. However, we also feel the solution put forth in this video fixes that problem we felt existed, without losing the essence of imminent danger that makes randomization fun.Chapters:---00:00 - Intro00:17 - Random Encounters are a Polarizing Topic1:05 - Random encounters - What if WHAT you Randomize Changes?
