- Sometimes I feel my players not knowing what do to or how to have their character act in a moment when a decision is promoted. In those moments it’s helpful to remember that you don’t always have to know why you’re making a certain decision. Your characters motivations can come to you later!

- Reposted by Mat 🇨🇦 Role Play ChatI love when friends and awesome people succeed in things.
- We all have a fav place to rest & recover. Would you rather your DnD character’s “spot” be: - a place of natural wonder (a grove w an ancient oak, a pond with crystal clear water, etc) Or - an urban sanctuary (a charming hole in the wall tavern or a small piazza w the best coffee) Let me know!
- For the new year the gaming group has decided to pick up a new TTRPG. Would you rather play a system that is designed for: - high tension and scares Or - cozy critters and overcoming small obstacles Which would you rather? And do you have system in mind already? Which is it?
- Daily DnD Would you rather: As a new year gift your GM offers you one of the following. Would you rather: - the total amount of XP needed to level up between your current level and your next level. (Including roll over XP) Or - a feat of your choosing from official sources
- It’s a new year, so gearing up for a new blitz of DnD would you rather scenarios! Would you rather learn one guaranteed truth about your party’s future year Or Delete one event (mistake) from your party’s past year? Including all downstream impacts. Let me know details below!
- Reposted by Mat 🇨🇦 Role Play ChatHappy New Year Everyone! And with it enjoy this exciting #homebrew POI for #dnd A place for your party to gaze at the stars, and learn more about magic 💫 This one's a long one, so there's actually 3 more pages to check out in the link below 👇 ✨
- Reposted by Mat 🇨🇦 Role Play ChatI sat down with the My First Dungeon folks to help set them up to run a Perils & Princesses campaign!
- A friendly reminder that goals can set, met or a little bit of both with or without them being established today or publicly. Sending you love and strength for 2026. And good dice rolls.
- Daily #DnDwouldyourather: 🪄 Play with a DM who is a master improviser, they adapt the game to where you take it but may leave plot holes. 🗺️ Or a DM who is a master planner? Creating complex stories but fall flat when things are unexpected. Which would be more fun for you?
- Reposted by Mat 🇨🇦 Role Play ChatLots very excellent people in here!

I'm here to tell you, if all you did was survive 2025, that's an accomplishment worth celebrating. Life is hard, and getting through a year is tough. I'm proud of you.

- I’ve got some new TTRPG game ideas floating around and I’m debating participating in crowdfunding for Zine month. This would be my first time doing this sort of thing. Do folks have any thoughts or suggestions for getting started? What would be the best platform? Backerkit, kickstarter?

- For the 1st time I’m doing a tandem read of a book & the concept is so interesting & exciting. It’s really fun to have someone to bounce ideas off of! I’m not sure we picked a good book to do it, but now that I know this is a thing, I’d love to hear if you’ve done this & what book I should do next.
- You’re TTRPG party has been invited to participate in a tournament 🏟️ Some of it will be a coliseum combat style event but added there will also be: An obstacle course event (think ninja warrior) Or A mounted relay race event Which would you rather and why?
- Nothing sparks my desire to build terrain more than seeing a giant piece of styrofoam

- Reposted by Mat 🇨🇦 Role Play ChatThere are no flaws, just personality traits that have variable impacts on your life, some good, some bad. It's all relative. #Ttrpg
- When creating a character, I’ve always found it interesting how flaws and personality often separated out as two different fields for you to consider. In my mind, flaws are simply a negative personality trait so if asked to thinking up a handful of personality traits, I would think of flaws too.
- Reposted by Mat 🇨🇦 Role Play Chat@shadomain.bsky.social & I did the video for his game (he did the video, I provided the VO.) Nice when you don't have to pay the help. 😉 He also did most art, but used stock images that he purchased for the video to get the "vibe" of what he was doing. If you need a female VO though,
- The idea of crowdfunding my next project is growing stronger. But my dilemma: to crowdfund you need art assets to help showcase the thing you’re trying to crowdfund. But those art assets also cost money! (That I don’t quite have) How do you usually go about this? How much art do you usually buy?
- Daily DnD would you rather: Regarding looking for traps. your GM have you do 1 “trap checking” roll before every dungeon floor & apply that result to your trap detection. Or you don’t roll to check until you’ve basically triggered one and they give you some grace to get out of the way instead?
- Reposted by Mat 🇨🇦 Role Play ChatHey, Have you ever wanted to play a rom com style TTRPG? Bard players, I’m talking to you. If yeah, you might like my game: First Date Update - A lighthearted, GMless rom com TTRPG. You’ll be able to pick it up through IPR at your next con or buy it through me at a discount (shoot me a DM)
