I guess I prefer tiny text to the other extreme.

That said: The flashy 3D animations and graphics engine look snazzy, though. Maybe they can sell it to Roll20?

I don't know enough about the project to speculate about its future, but this doesn't seem unusual for software development. I've started assuming it's standard industry practice. What I can say about Sigil specifically, is that I'm not interested. I know that on paper I look like their ideal...

I've run module X1: The Isle of Dread in every campaign I've ever done since the 1980s. I mix things up to keep my players guessing, but so far, none of them have caught on yet. In my Viking-themed campaign, The Isle of Dread was called Fimbulvintr, and it was in the northern part of the...

Yep, my last recipe has different names depending on the type of meat used: If you make it with lamb, it's called a Shepherd's Pie. If you make it with beef, it's called a Cottage Pie. If you make it with venison, it's called a Hunter's Pie. If you make it with pork, it's called a Swineherd's...

Yep, we track ammunition...and spell components, healing kit uses, food (and food for mounts), all that stuff. I learned quickly that if I don't track these things, the characters are swimming in gold by 8th level and the game economics collapse. Roll20 automatically tracks ammo (we use an API...

Unless you want your players to roll up the most anti-vampire hunting party of vampire-hunters that ever hunted a vampire, you should probably not tell them that they are going to be playing Curse of Strahd. A friend of mine is running that adventure path and literally everyone at the table is...

That's a good point. I revised my post to clarify what I meant.

St. Patrick's Day dinner? How about this classic Irish treat: CleverShepherd's Pie Topping: 3 pounds peeled and chopped potatoes 1 cup buttermilk (more or less, to desired consistency) 1/2 stick of butter, melted 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese 1 Tbsp. minced chives Filling: 2 strips of...

That is a huge spike in 2021! The market for crowdfunded TTRPGs really hit its stride in the year after the pandemic lockdowns began, and it really hasn't gone back down to pre-pandemic figures. There have been 43 $1MRPGs since 2016, and 89% of them have been funded in the last 4 years. Maybe...

Same. I also clicked "Other," to clarify which efficiencies I was referring to. (Speed of play is just one way that VTTs make games more efficient, after all.)

Sorry to nitpick, but it looks like there is an error in the table (Rows 40 and 42). The backer numbers are in the wrong column.

I've been tinkering with ideas on how to bring that back in modern play (aot another retroclone, either.)

Other: Speed. Playing over VTT is much faster, especially if you are playing a dice-heavy game like 5E D&D. Resolving multiple rolls per turn, with multiple dice and multiple turns per round, is just so much faster when you can just click a button.

Honestly, I wouldn't change a thing: high fantasy has always been my favorite genre of fiction. If you twisted my arm and forced me to choose something other than Tolkien's The Hobbit, I would choose Lloyd Alexander's Prydain Chronicles.

Has anyone tried the Spell Points optional rule, on page 288-289 of the DMG? I know that most of us have read them, but I'm curious how they worked at your table. (I love them, and not just for psions.)

Yes, but you see: m first statement was intended to be more universal, and the second was specific to me and my preferences. I'm not opposed to the game having options that I'll never use.

True, but that is only one definition of success.

I get what you're saying and I agree, but "Hundreds of Beavers" is a black and white silent film that was released in 2022 and it won multiple awards. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundreds_of_Beavers Never say never, I guess?
