I don't know much about inflation, except that eating pineapple can make some people gassy, but also contains bromine which can prevent 'rotten egg gas.'

I love patrons. They offer so much story-telling potential and adventure hooks, but it helps to have mechanical support to make it feel more integrated in the game. I ran a five-year D&D campaign where I added MCDM's Strongholds and Followers, plus reputation rules based off an old ENworld...

Nope, I toss them. I'm not much of a collector.

Those are squares, not hexes. Your children and further issue are not yet redeemed. 😉

Use my time and money more effectively to focus on things I'll use and will help run the game. A lot of this is cutting back, more than doing more. I think I'm done with using music in my online games, the reward to effort ratio isn't good, especially since a lot of the players find it...

For gaming, I use ChatGPT mainly to help me write macros for Foundry and to generate lists of random names. I've gotten good enough with my prompt writing to generate a list of a 100 names and put it in a JSON script that I can just import into Foundry. ChaptGPT will even find an appropriate...

Sticking specifically to "taking notes", I've found that making my own cheat sheets and DM screens was the best way for me to learn a system. Generally, published DM screens never really fit with exactly what I need. When I was still running mostly in-person games, I used the Worlds Greatest DM...

If you run multiple games systems, some using dice and other using cards, both Roll20 and Foundry support card functionality. Foundry's card management is a bit clunky, but functional.

Moving to PF2e is the perfect excuse to move to Foundry. Yeah. If you are already invested in DDB, no need to rebuy everything for each VTT. AFAIK, Fantasy Grounds, Roll20, and Foundry all have ways to import from DDB. But if I run 5e again, I think I would just run it in DDB using DDB Maps.

The highlighted sentence is an excellent reason to stay with a VTT. Even if there is no lock in, it still requires a significant effort to migrate you content and learn a new tool. Also I think Roll20 is a pretty darn good VTT and that is based on my experience before the recent upgrades. I...

Yeah, the WFRP system on Foundry is great. All hail Moo Man! The first thing I ask people when they ask me about VTTs is "what game do you play." For Pathfinder 2e and WFRP, Foundry has the best support. For D&D it really comes down to individual features and how you like to run your game...

Fair enough. I'm burnt out on buying new games. Don't have the time to play what I already have and don't want to spend more money, even on cool games, just to have them sit on my shelf. And, after over tens years since getting back in the hobby, very few games are offering a compelling enough...

A number of people have made disparaging comments about publishers encouraging their fans to vote. I don't get it. Personally, I think any publisher that can convince enough of their fans to vote and that they have enough fans to make a difference speaks well for a game. Kinda how popularity...

Underwhelming in that you feel that there are more deserving games that didn't make the list (if so, which?) or that you just don't find any of them interesting?

Just D&D? Not much since I moved to running a Warhammer Fantasy campaign in early 2024. Do you include game conventions?

I've been using Foundry with Forge for hosting for a few years now after using RealmWorks and Map Tool. I tested Fantasy Grounds, Roll20, and d20pro before settling on Foundry. Since then there are many more VTTs that have become popular and improvements made to the more popular ones, but...

Okay, spill. :)

I thought part of the process was to make nominations? Did you nominate it?

I'm not that informed about the rules or process for the nominations, nor do I have much interest in diving into that, but I find that every year they've done this I've learned of some new and interesting games. I only voted for MCDMs game, because it is the only one I'm following, backing, and...
