If any fellow EN Worlders have backed Ember and have beta access, I would be interested in your thoughts so far. I assume that anyone backing Ember is doing so as a GM who thinks that they may run the game, so I'm not going to comment out spoilers or expect other to. Hopefully the thread title...

Took advantage of the Cubicle7 clearance sale and the books arrived last week. Great deal on the special printings. The Elector Counts was an impulse buy. Have no idea if the card game is any good, but it was on clearance and cheap enough to give it a shot.

Yeah, I got a LOT of use out of Strongholds & Followers and have generally liked every MCDM product I backed, but I never had any interest in using Kingdoms & Warfare once I got it. At least I only backed for digital.

That sucks. The libraries in my county when I was living in MN had conference rooms of various sizes that you could book for free. It was limited to twice per month for the same group. The main issue was that they would be booked up quickly, but if you had a reliable group, and were on top of...

My first apartment since moving to Milwaukee had lots of nice meeting spaces and common areas but it was all modern glass walls and large open areas. I don't like running games in a fish bowl surrounded by non-gamers. The place I'm moving to next has a nice closed off common room that gives...

Emphasis mine. You don't know how good you've had it until its gone. I moved from Roseville, MN to Milwaukee. I would have thought Milwaukee would be somewhat similar in terms of FLGS as the Twin Cities, but I've not found one FLGS in Milwaukee County with decent playing space for TTRPGs...

I bought so much physical play aids, terrain, and minis when I first got back into TTRPGs when 5th ed was release and most of it never got used. But as part of downsizing and moving, I've given it all to folks I know will get use out of them so I don't feel too bad. More of long-delayed gifts...

Congrats! Looks great!

Hmmm...Milwaukee isn't that out there.

I suppose a Donut Hole meme would be NSFENWorld. ;-). Also, I wouldn't want to get kicked out of the Royal Court of Pincess Donut fan club.

Sorry, they've been recycled. Moving to another state and downsizing from a house to an apartment, while working full time and dealing with medical issues is enough stress that I'm pretty much taking a Marie-Kondo-during-an-emergency-evacuation approach to de-cluttering and downsizing.

For medical reasons, we are selling our house and moving to an apartment, requiring us to aggressively downsize. Most of my physical gaming stuff I gave to another GM, whose kids also play, and I know they'll get a lot of use. I still have the digital files for the maps in case I ever run Curse...

Do these events ever go "off Disney" and on the road? Seems like they may not be that practical for traveling shows.

I'm wondering if this tech would actually be better at the table during live play? It is so hard to account for the tech of all the players in an online game. For example, I've played around with ambiance music and like it during live, in-person play, but it always feels like a distraction in...
