    What is the hardest part of writing a TTRPG?

    This made me laugh, and reminded me of when I started my combat simulator, 2 years ago, I figured 5e can't be that complicated, shouldn't take longer than 6 months. As I went along, I'm like, surely some of these spells are different. Now two years later... ok I might never get to the end of...

    Can you add an ignore thread feature?

    I like bookmarking the Community new posts section, but there are threads that are constantly updated that I would like to ignore and just not see, so I can focus on looking for things I'm interested in. I suppose I could write my interface to do that, but be nice if it was a feature out of the...

    Critical Role The Legend of Vox Machina: Bawdy, Bloody, and Funny

    I've tried to get through critical role C1, but thats too much screen time. What did I love doing though is finding out from critters which were the best 5e Combat episodes so I could watch those. I found those quite interesting, comparing them with the big boss fights I used to have in 2e. I...

    AD&D 1E Do you miss Demons and Devils?

    When I DM'd in the 1e/2e days, every session would end with what they call now a "boss fight" which would consist of some baddie protected by numerous minions. I would put down the DM screen and show all the dice roll, which would put everyone on edge because they know this is the fight that is...

    AD&D 1E Do you miss Demons and Devils?

    No, no that is no where near the same! In 1e/2e they make the magic resistance it 100% negates the effect, meteor swarm? no damage. As in a "huge giant crab" is CR 8 I remember them having it, I don't remember how strong it was, will have to examine it again. Well I can make a sheep as...

    AD&D 1E Do you miss Demons and Devils?

    I do. Maybe its just the "memory" of them. But first of all the Monster Manual I and II artwork was fantastic, loved it. And the descriptions ! Just blew my 18yo mind of the intrigue and politics between the dukes hell or demon princes. Secondly by the time my group were fighting them it was...

    D&D 5E (2014) Tracking character sheets

    You copy and change monsters on dndcombat.com and then test them out in the combat simulator. There are thousands of characters out too, though a large proportion are imported from dndbeyond, since it doesn't do any checks or balances for what you enter, you need a players handbook.

    Not much they can do about it now, but I found all the different books confusing as to what I should buy. Too many of them. On the other side of the coin is Castles and Crusades. I'm still not 100% sure that I only need the "Players Handbook". DCC though super, easy, one book, done.

    Best history book on swords, axes, maces etc ?

    I tried googling and searching Amazon but I know YOU have already figured this out... One of things I loved about Tunnels and Trolls was reading all the different names of the weapons and seeing the attached attached damage to them (which gives you a sense of how devastating it was). Their...
