CHAINMAIL: 04.07.2023

Including - Adventure Lookup, The Three Clue Rule, and The War of Art: Steven Pressfield.

Chainmail is a weekly newsletter dedicated to sharing the abundance of excellent content available in the TTRPG space. You'll find YouTube videos, blog posts, quotes from books, and many other forms of media related to improving your skills as game masters and world builders. Enjoy!

Adventure Lookup

If you are looking to run a sandbox-style campaign, this resource is for you. Adventure Lookup is a project put together by Matt Colville to act as an easily searchable database of adventures from a bunch of different systems. You can filter by setting, environment, boss monster type, and level range. When I was running a frequent sandbox campaign, a lot of the content I used to fill out the different dungeons and adventuring locations was found using this site.


Another Alexandrian resource, this time in video form. The Three Clue Rule is a tool that will substantially improve your DMing. If you were ever wondering how to properly run mysteries in your TTRPG sessions, this is how.


I know everybody read Chainmail: 03.10.2023 and immediately ran out and bought a copy of The War of Art and read it cover to cover like I recommended. BUT if you haven't done that then maybe this fantastic podcast with the author will sway you even further in that direction. Or you can pretend like you read it and just get the nuggets of awesome wisdom from the author himself.


I hope these resources inspire you! See you next week.
