So interestingly this has filled up now to 5 players which is great. But I was surprised how many folks from over the pond have shown interest. Starting at 8pm BST was always trying to cater to both the America’s and Eastern Europe and probably risking totally satisfying neither so if folks...

In D&D 5e games advantage is a killer of horror because it gives confidence and reduces risk. The solution to that is to start with disadvantageous circumstances and make the party work just to get back to normal. Don’t take away their ability to do things, make it so their ability to do things...

There is often a lot of humour in the horror genre. Comedic moments reduce tension, make people feel human and then cause the horrific elements to have more impact. But I have a feeling you’re talking tongue in cheek.

For me it’s not about powerless so much as it is being out of your depth. You still have agency, but you don’t the full picture to make decisions. Or worse you think one thing is going on, act accordingly and then find out something much worse is the case something you’re not equipped to deal...

Ok, that is the most serious expression that I’ve seen you in 25 years @GuyBoy That is not how he looks when he just rolled the second crit of the combat on my poor defenseless rogue!

All those recommendations are great. I also recommend Garblag Games. There is an interesting tension between the wargame and the TTRPG both in terms of high fantasy/low fantasy and the heroic elements vs the grimier elements. It’s something Andy Law tried hard to reconcile in the 4th edition...

This thread is wild. Like meeting your pen pal for the first time. Yes I am 45… hard to believe I know.

So many good points on here. Foundry is a godsend though. It has a pause button where if I tap space bar it stops everyone moving until I tap it again. Great for when someone opens a door or turns a corner. My pet peeve is uncontrolled background noise. Someone doing dishes etc. I’m lucky I’ve...

I think the camera expectation is interesting I wonder if those folks are hoping to one day stream content or hoping the group will get to the point where they can stream. The allure of online influencer status is a big draw for youngsters and that does require cameras. For me I think it’s...

Here is the link for the Discord in case folks want to see how the campaign progresses or get a sense of things first. https://discord.gg/waXd2quTCS

Hey folks, I've spun this off into its own thread from this one. A few things I really like about WFRP Which incidentally is a thread full of reasons why you should give WFRP a go. So I've set up the Ubersreik Adventures Campaign - an episodic serial campaign with a set of adventures from the...

To be honest. That might be a good way of starting things off. The whole idea of running Ubersreik adventures would be that it was serial. Adventures taking 2-3 sessions. It would be difficult to tie it down to a single session but I reckon 2 is definitely possible. Would that work for you? I’ll...

Thanks Guy, kind words. Just so people know I’ve updated the process to $15 as it’s an introduction to WFRP. I should say all the rules will be available through foundry so no need for anyone to buy any books.
