Somethin’ ain’t right with MONO
Author: rowan_peter
For this three-part activity, my D&D encounter outline was put on pause while I found out more about tropes from tvtropes.org and explored how they might be reinvented in my own D&D encounter – fun! Part 1: Identify common tropes in D&D adventures As noted on tvtropes.org, common tropes seen in a standard fantasy setting […]
Using the outline template, I outlined my encounter in the following format: Title Synopsis Location NPCs/monsters/creatures Objective Conclusion I’ve refashioned the worksheet from the Welcome Kit as a Google doc and have been outlining my encounter in it and shared it on Discord in the #crafting-your-encounter channel – I’m really looking forward to refining it […]
Activity #4 for Week 2 (and beyond) of the ‘Spring 2022 Write Your First D&D Encounter Workshop’ is to start outlining my one page (500 words at 12 pt font) encounter in my Workshop document and then share on Discord in the #crafting-your-encounter channel. This is the ‘writing phase’ of the workshop and that builds […]
Activity #3 for Week 2 of the ‘Spring 2022 Write Your First D&D Encounter Workshop’ is to create six more three-line encounters. It’s okay to use any of the three pillars (social, combat, exploration), but keep the encounters short – it’s just to practice with coming up with new ideas. Not every encounter idea you […]
As noted by M.T. Black on the Stoco workshop website, D&D encounters can be categorised using the “three pillars” of: combat social exploration. M.T. Black also highlights how the three pillars make an encounter unique and dynamic, and although it’s possible to apply all three pillars in one encounter, one is usually enough. Combat Because […]
Today’s daily whiteboard – I wannabe like MIT Technology Review e.g., cool colour blocks, funky font work, deep-dives and heavy pull-quotes. Pretty rad.
The lunchtime D&D sessions with work colleagues continues, and it’s still fun. I was able to make use of one of the bottles I rescued from the wagon, which came about from an establishing an influence system via an email exchange with the DM while we were all out of the office, which then saved […]
As outlined by M.T. Black in the Stoco workshop website, encounters are the lifeblood of Dungeons & Dragons, where any adventure or campaign could be considered as being made up from a series of related encounters. M.T. Black defines an encounter as a single scene in the game where the players interact with a challenge. […]
Leading up to the start of Write Your First D&D Encounter | Spring 2022 workshop, I’ve been totally inspired by the maps produced and shared for use by Dyson Logos and have started drawing out my own D&D maps for my encounter – it’s been fun to think how I can keep them tight, light […]
I’m not 100% sure how I discovered the comic book-style illustration of tied-up books on the Desktop of my computer, but I did, and it really resonates with me. A reverse image search, revealed the isolated illustration is actually taken from Chapter 13 of “I Am a Hero”, which seems to be a pretty gnarly […]
Before the Write Your First D&D Encounter | Spring 2022 workshop starts on 1 May, I’ve been exploring the additional resources section of the online portal. In there, a bunch of cool stuff can be found, including links to GM BInder and Homebrewery which are online tools for generating the ‘D&D trade dress style’ – […]

My D&D character sheet – Chungus
Still loving playing D&D with my work colleagues during lunch time on Tuesdays. My colleague helped out with a fillable PDF-based D&D character sheet. A D&D character sheet contains contains all the information about your D&D character, including name, race, character class, and level. Here’s my character, Chungus, as at Thursday 28 April, 2022.
My worksheet for the Spring 2022 Write Your First D&D Encounter Workshop, which runs from 1 May to 31 May, 2022. By the end of the four week workshop, my worksheet will be fully populated and (hopefully) ready and good enough to be published as part of an anthology of encounters by other workshop participants.
I’m super-excited about making a start on the Spring 2022 Write Your First D&D Encounter Workshop, which is a fully-online 4 week course that launches on 1 May and finishes on 31 May. We are so excited to see all of the buzz about our upcoming Write Your First Encounter workshop! If you want to […]

Still playing D&D with my work colleagues, but diverting to an email-based experience while we make our way through a series of short weeks and non-work days in April. It’s still super-fun. In response to my previously proposed influence system, the DM replied to me with the following… Simple taskAs Shin and the team continue […]
Retrofitting the components, wireframes, designs and prototype of the ‘Design Thinking Now’ online course with Figma, for fun, skill-building, experimentation and exploration, and more.
I’ll need to digest this a bit more, but I’m curious if this is about someone else talking too much or us, the listener, thinking and processing too slow – it mightn’t be either and may be just about reducing the talking. This is a solid thread (on Twitter) about how to talk to people […]
Still playing D&D during lunch with my work colleagues, and it’s still super-fun. Because of the Easter holidays and combined-long weekends that drifted over multiple Tuesdays, we haven’t been able to meet-up and play. That’s why the DM issues a missive to the players to keep the narrative and player engagement going, via email. The […]
