I've really come to appreciate using the "reaction roll-like" 2D6 approach for inspiration when the players go so far off the ranch, that I have no immediate ideas on what to do.
A simple 2D6 roll tells me if things are going to be easy/normal/difficult for the players. Or that roll tells me if I should do something that is really likely/somewhat likely/unlikely.
I find, for me, it works better than a random table because I can make this flow with what's going on at the table.
@slyflourish Enjoyed this one, Mike!
If anyone is looking for a humble blog on the topic of running cities, I have an entry of #dmtips and flavor. Some words to DM by:
"Everything need not be a plot hook, but if it’s too cool, it probably will be."
Take breaks. Don't forget to take regular breaks and give your players a chance to stretch their legs and relax.

I started to write this as a Masto thread, but it became a blog post! Getting players to contribute to your campaign's lore and setting.

As a #DM, one of the most rewarding things is watching my players lose themselves in the world I've created. It's a magical feeling knowing that I'm providing an escape and a sense of adventure for them. #DnD #dungeonmaster #tabletopgames #rpg #DMtips #ttrpg

@salsa_wits It's an idea I've been kicking around and writing about for awhile.
"It takes just three hexes to start a campaign."

@juergen_hubert If this isn't an example of how potions *should* be made in D&D, I don't know what is.
Today I was on the Wobblies and Wizards podcast talking about Dungeon23 and my vault of dungeon23 dungeon building resources
