@SJohnRoss Thank you. I’ll take good over happy!

Ok but what if whatever that popular definition of success isn’t what I want, though

@kyleirl@mastodon.social They are not, but we’re starting an open-ended campaign in which their actions drive everything, so they opted to get to know their characters from level 1. I always enjoy running low levels, too! That seems to be the place where DnD players lean more towards non-violence and creative thinking than when they’re level five and can just bonk things on the head successfully 😅

DnD tonight and the PCs have just reached level 3, which means I’m going to have them tell me what it looks/feels/is like to gain their subclass. Warlock, wizard, bard, druid.

Especially looking forward to the warlock “unlocking” his patron 👀

And after this, levelling will slow wayyyy down.

@kyonshi@dice.camp Ha, I can imagine! I have always read that name the Swedish way.

@kilroy_was_here@dobbs.town That is first of all a very cool challenge! And I can only imagine there are a lot of strange attempts to sound Russian with no understanding of the language out there

Anders Tallvik @anderstallvik@dice.camp · Apr 27, 2026

Again, the letters Å, Ä, Ö, Æ, Ø are not decorations to slap on your game name’s Os and As, contrary to ubiquitous belief. They have different pronunciations in Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish and Danish, and I bet I’m not the only Scandinavian who is turned off by weird-sounding usage of these letters.

It’s like if I, a Swede with a soft J in my language, decided to name my game Yust a Couple of Jellow Yackals for Jour Yolly Yaunt.

I’ll talk about this again.

@electropict@mastodon.scot Totally! This is something I find is hard to make non-designers believe, but it’s so true.

Anders Tallvik @anderstallvik@dice.camp · Apr 23, 2026

@SJohnRoss@dice.camp So very true! There’s a reason typesetting used to be its own specialization. Very few graphic designers, myself included, actually have a full grasp on how to make typography sing

I'd argue that THE way to make people think you know about design is to use optical margin alignment (hanging punctuation, that thing when letters like V and punctuation hang a little bit outside the margin to make it look more straight).

A second way is to avoid justified text, because it’s frankly too much work to get rid of rivers (the snakes of spaces creating tendrils down a paragraph and making the brain think “SHAPES!!” instead of reading the words).

Fireside Fables, in which I interview other DMs from our Amsterdam League about the art of running D&D and other ttrpgs. The setup is very DIY, bear with us!

Birch pollen, also known as “one of the worst ones for Anders” in some circles.

Consider me dead to the world today!

Anders Tallvik @anderstallvik@dice.camp · Apr 21, 2026

Maybe I'll have finished the game by then (procrasti-playing other things because I don’t find Crumbling Farum Azula fun)

Anders Tallvik @anderstallvik@dice.camp · Apr 21, 2026

The fact that Nick Offerman is in the Elden Ring movie is going to heal all of us, I think.

Anders Tallvik @anderstallvik@dice.camp · Apr 21, 2026

Ran a session for our Amsterdam DnD League last night and I think I managed to run a truly tough battle for the first time (by my standards). I have ideas for how to make the next one more FUN but seeing as I wanted to get better at raising the stakes, I consider it a step in the right direction.

The players hung out with goats and demons and pirates around a vineyard-turned-cursed-forest. It was a pretty chill session.
