A missed attack doesn't have to mean nothing happens. Even on a miss, you can reveal something about the enemy, change the battlefield, or move the story forward. Combat stays exciting when all rolls do things. What do you like to give players on a miss? #ttrpg #gmtips youtube.com/shorts/oH0TJ...

The critical hit and failure. We think they're great places to punctuate moments in the storytelling. How do you handle crits in your games in the narrative? #ttrpg #dnd youtube.com/shorts/uSd89...

Sitting down for some Spider-man Brand New Day. Pumped since a few people whose movie opinions I respect said it was excellent.
Give players space to define what their fighting style, spells, and big moments actually look like at the table. This can make combat feel more cinematic, personal, & memorable. #ttrpg #dnd www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCHp...

Why do some folks describe every hit in a fight as something brutal or bloody? The loss of HP can be described in many ways. Blocking, winded, scrapes, endurance failing, and many other ways. What are your best non-wound descriptions for getting hit? youtube.com/shorts/sijAz...

Mad because your players interrupt your villain monologues? Just do it on their turn in initiative. Out of curiosity. Do your villains talk during combat, or do you keep things all business? Personally I love talking smack to PCs if it makes sense. #ttrpg #gmtips youtube.com/shorts/VI3lz...
Monologue During Initiative

If your players check out during combat, speed might not be the problem. Sometimes we just need more engagement. This week on Tabletop Treehouse, we talk meaningful misses, villain monologues, crits, & battlefields that make TTRPG fights feel like part of the story. www.youtube.com/watch?v=liFC...
