General TTRP Advice

Hiya, just finished proofreading my second article, and here it is!

This one, as the title indicates, is about where problems of lack of investment and feedback start, and how to be proactive and use the tools available to you to set proper, well-communicated expectations so that you ensure table quality and maintain it throughout, while nipping these problems in the bud before they even arise.

I hope it's of some use to any of you. As always, I'm open for discussion and questions on the content.

What sorts of tools/apps/programs/etc do people use to journal or record their solo adventures? I would love to have a fancy notebook and roll physical dice but being realistic I think something I could run on my Android as either a web or native app and handle both dice rolls and journaling would be ideal. I'm currently considering RoleGate since I use it for some PBP games with moderate success but I'd love to hear what other people use or have considered, either as all-in-one or standalone journals/dice/etc to make a complete system.

Hey! Still kinda nervous about putting this kinda stuff out there, but I figured I'd contribute to the scene and put out some content. I thought about posting it in the PF2e General Discussion, but was afraid it wasn't PF2-related enough.. If you think it fits there, you're more than welcome to crosspost it.

I've started a minimalist blog where I generally post about TTRPG design and how I run my games which I've linked on this post. Its focus is Pathfinder 2e-adjacent as that is my mainstay system, but stuff I write on prep and stuff is general enough to apply to other systems as well I should think.

I only really have one article thus far, which is about designing battlemaps and how every little choice influences the encounters that occur within them, which you can read here. I hope it's of some use, or at least sparks some fun discussion.

If you have any questions or feedback, by all means go ahead and comment - I'm still grappling with adding accessibility features and such. If you need any details about the blog, there's an 'About This Blog' article pinned at the top of the page.
