Why I love using scenes:

- Instantly pull players into the world
- Makes games feel cinematic
- Immerses players with living environments
- Players don't just hear the world, they see it.

What's your favourite part about using scenes?

Your party stumbles across an Orc camp tucked away in a corner of a canyon.

Fight or flight is the easy choice. This camp is ready for war, but not for you.

What do you do?

A weathered merchant's wagon rolls slowly down a quiet forest path, its dark wooden frame and iron-spoked wheels worn from countless miles of travel. What could be for sale? Exotic spices, stolen relics, or something far more dangerous?

Your party says β€œquick heist” and immediately spirals.

Choose your specialty:
A) Blueprint, backup plan, backup backup plan
B) Smash first, think later
C) Hide in a box, commit to the bit
D) Fireball, solve it loudly

Personally, I choose B.

I’m always looking to collaborate with other TTRPG creators. If you make maps, items, monsters, or music, let’s build something together.

Reach out if you have an idea!

D&D ambience - The Village of Barovia - Curse of Strahd
D&D ambience - The Village of Barovia - Curse of Strahd YouTube video by James RPG Art

Five years ago, I made a few ambience videos for CoS, this one for the village of Barovia.

I keep thinking about bringing them back, either on Youtube or as a tier reward on Patreon. Would you actually use more of these in your campaigns?

March scenes are all about travel locations for your next session: a merchant wagon on a lonely road, a crystal portal worth thinking twice about, heated desert travel, and railroad travel with moving stakes.

All coming to the Patreon this month!

Welcome to the Smugglers Cave. The air is thick with the smell of salt, smoke, and old secrets, and the sense that someone could return at any moment.

Totally unrelated to my animated scenes, but I restarted Skyrim and it has me in a chokehold again...

If you need me, I’m just doing one more side quest....

Throwback to a project I never released, but still love the trailer we made for it.

There's even a few scenes in that trailer that have never been released!

The best part about running a campaign is those few stolen hours where the real world stops being so loud.

You get to be brave, weird, maybe even heroic.

Quick question for players: How often do you actually use battle maps vs animated scenes?

If you use animated scenes, what’s missing that would make them more useful at the table? Overlays, variants, lighting controls, characters, something else?

I want to build more on Patreon!

All March long, I'm releasing a sci-fi scene on top of my usual fantasy scene every week.

Check out my first sci fi scene, Ship Bridge.

How do you make a Patreon Member Discord feel alive?

I’m looking to revamp my Discord focused on building a community around my animated scene images. I want members to actually hang out, share prep, and spark story ideas.

At the center of the cave, a golden-leafed tree grows from a small island. The cave is quiet and heavy with meaning, the kind of place that makes you lower your voice without thinking.

The best sessions are 60% player choices, 40% consequences.

What’s one moment your table made a decision that completely derailed the β€œplan" but made the story better?

Share the chaos, I want specifics!
