I prefer forums to Discord (which is fine for software support etc) but is dire for long form discussion. There are so few forums still around I tend to bounce between them and Reddit for non D&D talk.

Back in 1982 I had a couple of females playing in my D&D game, but they never stayed in the hobby. We were all in the last year of school before either getting jobs or going into higher education.

DHL suspends all high value US deliveries, applies to shipments over $800. Business to business shipments continue but delays expected. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1jx9ep5l63o

GMT games have just announce they have $500,000 of games due from China and they need $700,000 to import them into the US so are asking for help from their customers...

Nobody goes into job expecting deal with upset and nasty verbals. Sadly, in the age of social media people are happy to attack and bad mouth individuals. With what has gone on the last few years I hope those individuals that have left have a have a much quieter life and can once enjoy gaming as...

A very good explanation of the tariffs by a mathematician:

I prefer when modules give you bullet points of the salient facts so you can give it in your own words to the players.

I backed the original KS at digital level. Since running a game in Foundry which has great support I have wanted a physical copy of the core book but shipping to UK doubled the price. This KS is very UK and Canada shipping friendly so backed this.

Switched to Foundry over 4 years ago. What I like is pay once, you can add modules if you want to to customise the experience or just have a bare bones system. They have a great support network.

My last large 5e campaign was 75 sessions of 4 hours each and players were 11th Level.

I have never heard of Legend in the Mist but fair play on them asking their backers on their KS page for them to vote on Morrus poll, seems to have paid off.

Index Card VTT or ICVTT as it's known. Originally designed for Index Card RPG you can use it for any game. Very lightweight and free. Drag in a map image. Go. No settings, no macros, no chat technology, no options nor toolbars. There are no instructions, no tutorials. Just maps, tokens, dice...

I did nominate Nimble but it failed to make the poll (don't know if it was a bad link or was just missed).

I'm currently running one 5e game (7th level PCs) and two OSR games (Swords & Wizardry Complete and Shadowdark). All are using the same players. As a GM I enjoy running the two OSR games more as there is less prep and they are easier to run. There is not a lot between the two OSR games, SD works...
