Oh yea, I thought that was only the username for logging into your account, but it looks like it is indeed for your profile as well.

I think there should be a dance-off tbh... YouTube - brake dance amazing

Hmm, one I did recently comes to mind... http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/276560-weem-s-dm-tips-rp-prompting-immersion.html ...good links here, I think I missed this thread.

On any avatar (including your own) you can click the bottom right icon that shows up when you mouse over it - then select User > View Profile. This will open up a new column that sits on top of them all on the right with profile info (including followers, etc). You can also click your username...

I have been doing this (adding #enworld), but I think I'm the only one so far - and twitter lost some of them recently :( Even better actually (I just looked) there doesn't seem to be any uses of #enw, which is nice since it is shorter. Also Russ, I would consider grabbing a decent 'enworld'...

At the top left side, you would simply select (highlight) both accounts - then, the message you post below will go from both accounts. Additionally, TweetDeck lets you schedule messages (see under the message field on the far right - the clock - so you could set up a number of them ahead of...

"enworld" has been taken, but it looks like enworldorg is available, etc. As far as I know, you can't change your name (effectively keeping all followers). I would grab a new twitter account with a name such as enworldorg (or whatever is there that you would prefer). I would then start posting...

Thanks @RangerWickett: ;) Glad to see people getting some use of it! I have an idea for an article that goes into some more details and covers some others stuff... we'll see! *pssst* Follow me on twitter @Morrus:! :p

Good advice so far, especially the calls to not panic! Some things I would mention I have talked about in a previous post, but additionally I want to second the use of characters from movies. I actually have an example from my game last night! The players ended up trying to get some...

It was said here earlier that Twitter is about the immediate conversation (essentially) so, unlike Facebook where you might go back and look at all the updates if it had been a while, for Twitter (via TweetDeck) I (and most others) would only look at the updates that are immediately in view (on...

I prefer what I have been calling Character Foregrounds (I talk about it here). Working up elaborate backgrounds is fine (I do it sometimes) but I often find I don't use much if any of it. I might use it to base certain characteristics of my character on, but really I find I enjoy coming up...

It helps having 1) a (really) great job that requires me to be online a LOT and 2) a wife that is very busy working on her masters degree ;)

Google Docs recently made a number of improvements, including real time collaboration (think Google Wave) and Chat... There is some potential for using this to run a game online I think - though I have never done so myself (played online) so I'm not sure. I thought I would drop the video in...

It really helps, as a DM, to be excited yourself ;) I wrote (a brief post) about this semi-recently called "Don't Forget the Excitement (when DM-ing)".

I have never run any module/adventure I own (other than part of Sunless Citadel when 3e was new). I always did my own thing. I have played (had run for me) some, but never run myself. I have been wanting to correct this at some point - run an old school game, etc. I have Alternity books as well...

Yea, not so sure it would work well for this purpose. This is pretty much what I was going for - showing people some cool uses of it relating to D&D. I think a lot of people know what Twitter is etc, but not exactly how it can be used beyond the very basic idea of posting a status.

Didn't do anything like that much - and it was long ago - but I don't recall anything interesting coming from it at all :/

Gonna have to catch that. I went and saw Karate Kid instead this weekend (was time to let the wife choose). It was cool though ;)

That's awesome, haha.

I've never ran games for what I would call broken players. With that said, I have played with some overly cautious players - but I used to be that DM when I was much younger, so I get where it comes from. Not that it's a bad thing, I just go for a much more balanced approach then I used to. I...
