    This really helped me figure out how to integrate these ideas with my groups. Making an evil to overcome without crossing a line is a delicate balance. We don't always know when our players faced monsters IRL and this lovely game stops being an escape.

    tip: Focus your narrative towards offering choices and leading to the actions of the characters.

    As a dungeon master, my favorite moments during session come when I sit idle as the players’ debate the choices open to their characters.

    There’s no single thought leader more central to my growth as a game master than . The Lazy DM books totally upgraded my prep, keeping it in-scope and helpfully structured. Love this quote from his recent article:

    tip: When stuck for ideas, get back to the basics of monsters in a dungeon guarding an item the characters need.

    Other things I've found useful to do in text on Discord (although this is for play-by-post, so everything's text and it's more important to use the medium fully): fast maps, which show distance Stats tracking "HUD" (emoji are useful here) progress of a skill contest text effects

    A simple "fast map" showing distance from a tree in a race (the tree turned out to be a scythe tree which attacked the party, but that's another story)
    The "HUD", a quick summary of a character's AC, HP, and remaining spell slots by level (from information stored in Avrae, in this example, but they needn't be if you don't use it). And a wrestling match; handled as contested grapple checks, where you had to win by two clear moves, so I made a little "meter" showing what the position was. Works well for any back-and-forth zero-sum thing where a gain for me is a loss for you; arm wrestling, tugs-o-war, and the like.
    a textual description of falling into a ravine, with text effects: the words "falling", "crash", "bump" and so on spread across the page visually to demonstrate a fall
    a huge BOOM expressed as a figlet font in Discord (this and the other text effect example is useful for play-by-post gaming, less so where you're doing voice conversations and using Discord text simply to track stats and the like)

    I love this idea and I wonder what other D&D sorts of things we can handle in text so we can paste it into Discord? Initiative; a text-based battle map; what else?

    Inspired by some responses to tweets, I might have stumbled upon something wicked. (EDIT due to inaccuracies)
