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!
Impact - Goblin Punch
This article defines two types of encounters: impactful encounters and fluff encounters. Both have their place, but the focus is on how to create impactful encounters that have "the ability to permanently change the game." Really helpful article and one I come back to frequently.
Building Better Monsters | Undead - Map Crow
Super fun video mixing Map Crow's fantastic art with a fun examination of undead in fiction and TTRPGs.
Monster Business - Sham's Grog 'n Blog
An inspiring d100 table for determining what dungeon denizens are up to when the players stumble upon them!
I hope these resources inspire you! If you haven't already, the best way to stay up to date with everything hothead-related is to join the discord. See you next week!
