I recognized the name, but I hadn't checked it out. It seems like a nice alternative to Roll20 in that it runs through a browser, which is a large bonus. The retro feel of MapTools still appeals to me. Maybe I'll use both.

As the title says, I'm curious if there are groups that play online using MapTools. I like the software, but I've never found a gaming group that uses it.

Mongoose Traveller (at least 1st edition when I ran it) is like this too. The first time I ran it one of my players picked a fight with an NPC—I forget how many game sessions it took him to recover. That was the last time any of the players engaged in combat voluntarily in that campaign.

It depends on the level. D&D always starts out with a focus on roleplay because combats resolve quicky at levels 1-5 since neither the characters nor the monsters have a lot of HPs. By level 7 and above, however, combat expands as HPs balloon and combat begins to push everything else to the...

Some years ago, a meme circulated on the Internet that consisted of a flow chart that mapped the choices and rules of classic Dungeons & Dragons if you played it with every rule as written. The point was to demonstrate the implausibility anyone had ever achieved such a feat. I've searched...
