Railroading Or Narrative in TTRPGs

Mar 7, 2023Mar 8, 2023 / diceyencounters / Leave a comment

Railroading has a bad reputation, but does it mean that the game world's narrative can never play out without player input? Railroading is when a game master forces an RPG down a predetermined story path that they've already decided the outcome or main beats of - and, as such, it cannot be changed regardless of what the … Continue reading Railroading Or Narrative in TTRPGs

Why GMs Should Play Too

Mar 22, 2021 / diceyencounters / Leave a comment

If you have encountered people in leadership roles, you will no doubt notice a difference between the ones who have done the job of the ones who they are leading, and the ones who haven't. For GMs and players, its very much the same. I find that the journey from Player to GM, back to … Continue reading Why GMs Should Play Too

Secondary Objectives in D&D

Nov 19, 2020Nov 24, 2020 / diceyencounters / Leave a comment

Last year I ran a homebrew campaign set in the Magic: The Gathering/D&D crossover setting: Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica - a 'magicpunk' plane that allows players to sign up to one of the world's ten powerful guilds, and climb their ranks by completing quests. I set out to make a mission-based adventure, where the players … Continue reading Secondary Objectives in D&D

Things To Steal From: Soulbound

Nov 11, 2020 / diceyencounters / Leave a comment

Welcome back to my series which currently only has one entry, Things to Steal From! This is where I go through an RPG system and pick out mechanics that I find interesting and perhaps get those homebrew thoughts going. Some of these are probably difficult to splice into another system, but the essence of them … Continue reading Things To Steal From: Soulbound

Like a lot of folks, I've turned from the unending horrors of 2020 into the comforting reprieve from real life that is Dungeons and Dragons. I've played a record number of hours since March and steamed through a campaign from levels 1-13, set to end in the next month or so - my chance to … Continue reading 5 Things I’ve Learnt about D&D in 2020

Morbus Est – Planet Fall

Oct 16, 2020 / diceyencounters / Leave a comment

Read Part One of Morbus Est. The Pilot steadied himself whilst heading through the plague ship's internal corridors. It was not just a mental act of steadiness - although there was definitely a large degree of that - but physical too, as his boots collided with the flesh-like growths that made the corridor contract and … Continue reading Morbus Est – Planet Fall

Oct 2, 2020Oct 12, 2020 / diceyencounters / Leave a comment

Avernus as a Sandbox is a guide from Eventyr Games that turns the Avernus section of the D&D adventure Descent Into Avernus into - you guessed it - a sandbox! I'm about to finish this up with my group, so this will be a review of the guide, how it works best and my tips … Continue reading ‘Avernus as a Sandbox’ Review

Morbus Est

Dec 4, 2019Dec 6, 2019 / diceyencounters / 1 Comment

The Freeblade pilot could not bring himself to look at the being before him straight away. His eyes dropped to the metal grate immediately in front of him - the thing ponderously moving into the room too painful to look at. Not just painful for the eyes, but for the soul as well. The thing … Continue reading Morbus Est
