Felicity ShouldersMe running a collaborative roleplaying game and having to come up with a bizarre otherworldly ecosystem on the fly: “Luckily, the players don’t know I read a book about algae last week!” 🤓<a href="https://pie.gd/tags/GameMastering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GameMastering</a> <a href="https://pie.gd/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TTRPG</a> <a href="https://pie.gd/tags/DicelessRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DicelessRPG</a>

YoraI don't use GM screens because they block my view of the table and are a barrier for talking with the players.But I think I really should get a clear desk pad for all the common reference and random tables. There's even some that are double layer, so you can just roll them up with all the notes and sheets staying in place.<a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/ttrpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ttrpg</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/gamemastering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gamemastering</a>

IshambardOn the subject of <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/Mimics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mimics</a> in <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/Pathfinder1e" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Pathfinder1e</a>Here is a snippet from the bestiary regarding their ability to mimic objects.Mimic Object (Ex)A mimic can assume the general shape of any Medium object, such as a massive chest, a stout bed, or a door. The creature cannot substantially alter its size, though. A mimic’s body is hard and has a rough texture, no matter what appearance it might present. A mimic gains a +20 Racial Bonus on Disguise checks when imitating an object in this manner. Disguise is always a class skill for a mimic.Environment any Organization solitary------Heck it even suggests a Door there! And here I thought it was being a little bit original...With this said, any GM/DMs out there, let's come up with some fun and effective Mimics with these limitations in mind.My personal favourite is a privie, an old style toilet, but a Mimic, literally catching adventurers with their pants down.<a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TTRPG</a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/GameMastering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GameMastering</a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/PF1e" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PF1e</a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/DungeonMaster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DungeonMaster</a>

YoraI think the most important thing I learned about RPGs in 20 years of running games is that you're going to have a much better time if you are trying to run the campaign that you can run with your circumstances instead of the game you wish you could run.<a href="https://dice.camp/tags/ttrpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ttrpg</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/gamemastering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gamemastering</a>

DeeRelating to my toot earlier today, I got around to formatting the tables in a spreadsheet instead of just my notebook (lol). The post is open to the public!To summarize, you can use these 2d6 tables to add additional character and depth to your random encounters. It's completely system agnostic too!
