    When You Can't Play TTRPGs (and You're Virtual...)

    Not knowing what you have for hardware but if you are looking for DND like experience and do not mind old school the updated balders gates would probably be pretty good to play with a group of 4. Neverwinter knights also might be worth while to look into but they are old school.

    D&D General Using the GM layer of a VTT

    Before I switched to foundry, The Gm layer I found to be mixed bag. Many gm's and tuts would offer the same tips and while it can be convenient for some things it really wasn't as nice as I had first thought. Not all maps lend well to having notes and after time it gets cluttered and...

    D&D General Your Thoughts on LoS, Dynamic Lighting on VTTs

    D&D 3E/3.5 Jonathan Tweet: Prologue to Third Edition

    Great Insight. I started playing in my teens 1ed and moving to 2ed and from my perspective they were compatible enough there was not much difference. The setting were great if albeit saturated. By the late 90's I stopped TRPGS as I felt it became monotonous something was lost in the flavor of...
