New Feature! Cursed items on the Redcap Press site now have a "Hide Curse" button so you can share a link with your players without spoiling your big reveal. In some cases it'll even change the name! More info and a demo here: patreon.com/RedcapPress/posts/new-feature-hide-164952838 #dnd #ttrpg​

DM Tip: Be careful creating big places to explore. They're awesome, but the more areas there are, the more time is spent where you're just describing things while your players sit around listening. They have their place, but use consciously and keep your descriptions short and sweet. #dnd #ttrpg

Last night my party learned that a unicorn lived in a nearby forest and their first reaction was to wonder if it's blood might have any beneficial magical properties. I'm pretty sure you could actually hear their alignment shifting. #dnd #ttrpg

Our latest free adventure, "Tutor of the Ifrit's Art," is now out on @drivethrurpg.com (not just Itch.io!) Venture to the Realm of Fire, meet strange locals and survive perilous (and fiery) badlands, and seek out a powerful Ifrit. Download for free: www.drivethrurpg.com/product/578730 #dnd #ttrpg

DM Tip: Curses are more fun when they slowly reveal themselves over time, instead of the instant the player attunes to them. Even better, have the curse grant some benefits that would be lost if the curse was removed, so your player can grapple with whether or not it should be cured! #dnd #ttrpg

Bonus art! An early idea for a cover for my submission to this year's Appx N game jam didn't end up getting used, so I threw it in as a postcard: "An ​Isatum-Nisu Witnesses a Falling Star" (definitely not a UFO) Adventure: redcappress.itch.io/tutor-of-the-ifrits-art #dnd #ttrpg​

My Appendix N game jam submission is live! Explore the Realm of Fire, meet the locals, hear about a man falling from space in a falling star, and seek out the hidden knowledge of the ifrit. Have fun, it's a weird one! Check it out for free: redcappress.itch.io/tutor-of-the-ifrits-art #dnd #ttrpg

My party just spend two hours fighting a man who they had been told (for months) could literally not be killed. The bard, about an hour in, after hitting them with yet another damaging spell: "Wait wait wait. Hold on. This might not work." They tied him up and dropped him down a chute. #dnd #ttrpg

DM Tip: Give your magic items cooler attunement requirements! This can range from small stuff (attune to this cap of water breathing while floating in the water) to whole mini-quests (attune to this sword by using it to kill a fiend). #dnd #ttrpg

We're giving away 5 free copies of the physical version of our Die Hard adventure! Head over to Reddit to enter: www.reddit.com/r/DnD/commen... #dnd #ttrpg #diehard

Not having much time to dedicate to working on something + writer's block is a brutal combination. Especially when you throw in a voice in the back of your head that yells "No, weirder! Make it WEIRDER!" every time you think you've settled on an idea.

The Redcap Press website just hit 10,000 active users in one month for the first time! Does that really matter? No! Is the definition of a "User" here so flawed as to be effectively meaningless? Yes! Still, it's fun to see people getting some use out of the site! ♥️ www.redcap.press #dnd #ttrpg

DM Tip: Powerful NPCs can be fun and excite or intimidate the players, but be ready for them to ask "Wait, why aren't they helping? Couldn't they just disintegrate everybody?" If it becomes too much of a problem, you can always have an even stronger bad guy disintegrate them first. #dnd #ttrpg

Our Die Hard one-shot has a print edition! It took a while, but I'm really happy with the result and it's great to finally hold something that I've spent so long staring at on a screen. Link: drivethrurpg.com/product/550463 Pics: patreon.com/RedcapPress/posts/one-shot-to-die-162624441 #ttrpg

Our Artificer showed up to last night's session with a full PowerPoint presentation (displayed via Discord in real life and Minor Illusion in-game) to convince a Drow empress to let him build her a robotic arm. I've never handed out inspiration ​more confidently in my life. #dnd #ttrpg​

Anybody here used Typst for TTRPG stuff? How are you liking it? #ttrpg #indie #dnd

In the process of ordering yet another proof for the physical version of our Die Hard-inspired D&D adventure, decided to mess around in Gimp to make a new image for the back cover. It's okay if the back of your adventure looks cooler than the front, right? Right?? #dnd #ttrpg

Redcap Press is now on @rpg-trader.bsky.social! Happy to be on a platform that bans AI use of any kind. Only a few adventures are up for now (damned exclusivity clauses), but there will definitely be more to come. Our adventures: rpg-trader.com/creator/512 #dnd #ttrpg

DM Tip: What's more fun than giving your players a map of the area? Giving them a map of the area that's a few hundred years out of date! #ttrpg #dnd

How TTRPGs sound to the uninitiated: "We sit in the basement for three hours a week and play make-believe, except there are rules. Also we're obsessed with it." #ttrpg #dnd

Small update for anybody that's downloaded our "One Shot to Die Hard" adventure: - We've updated the listing to include maps with the labels removed, that you can print or show your players. - We've also added a printable "plot checklist" to avoid flipping back and forth at the table. Have fun!​

DM Tip: Look ahead to see what your players get at the next few levels. You don't want to be surprised after spending hours on a dungeon that one of your players just unlocked a "bypass this dungeon" ability. #dnd #ttrpg​

Players, if you want to make your GM happy, just remember some obscure bit of lore that they mentioned months ago. Nothing feels quite as good as tangible proof you're engaged!

ANNOUNCEMENT - New Maps! Our condensed & streamlined take on Death House from Curse of Strahd now has a bunch of awesome full-color maps for you to print or use in your favorite VTT. Thanks to u/kRkthOr for the artwork! Download the adventure (FOR FREE!): dmsguild.com/product/501848 #dnd #ttrpg​
