Last year I celebrated my 40th year playing tabletop Dungeons and Dragons
But not only D&D but dozens of other rpgs as well. It’s like a rolled a natural 20 . The game, not the companies, have given me a lot and I want to pass it on to new comers and old-timers alike.
I’m not a game designer or an rpg elite, I’m just a guy who likes to tinker around, hence the name Tabletop Tinker. I have ideas but I don’t are if they’re published, I just want to help improve someone’s game experience be it player or DM.
This newsletter is the perfect vehicle for my ideas
I don’t want to maintain a website and I don't want to sell products. I want to give away what is given to me be it tables, monster ideas, encounter ideas, etc. and if someone wants to support and chat about these ideas, great! Community is my real goal.
At least twice a month I’ll be offering
my game experiences online and off
DM advice
creative projects like terrain building, etc.
the occasional product review (if it’s worthy)
the occasional hot take
and whatever else makes your game better.
If after a few newsletters you dub this information worthy of a few gold pieces, great! If not, that's ok too.
Keep them dice rolling and maybe, if you’re lucky, like me, you’ll get to run games with the same group or friends you started the adventure with many year ago.
If you’d like to book a game for you and your friends you can check out my Game Master page for how to book a game of your own and feel like you felt the first time you played.
For terrain building, this one dude on YouTube tore and mashed up a bunch of cardboard in a 5 gallon bucket and slopped it on his terrain board and used glue to hold it together and basically painted it green for tv with some cheap small houses. It looked like a well made tabletop board that could easily go for hundreds of dollars but only spent like less than $10, if even that much.
