Oh, this thread is too good not to sub. So mean and entertaining. Speaking of rituals, my bard, Oliver Ridley, had his unseen servant up more or less 24/7. I made him 'wear' a hooded cloak and hold a mask up to his face. Then when we got to two guys guarding an entrance to a hideout we wanted...

Thank you for the feedback smiteworks. It matters. Please proceed in writing the 100,000 lines of code (or probably higher) it takes to support both voice and video integrated into FG. Also, do something better than the little blocks R20 has. I want the option to toggle between really seeing...

First off, I am absolutely thrilled that you are active here smiteworks. Getting direct input and feedback through a forum like this is simply great. I am also serious when I say I have, in the last month, approached my group to moving over to your software. We are by no means blindly loyal to...

Totally agree with a lot of the suggestions given here; specifically Istbor and itcomeswithamap Basically, the point of a setting like this one is that it can be a unique experience. Sell them on it if you believe you can deliver something memorable. The underdark, especially if foreign to both...

I have been using Roll20 for some time now, and it is certainly my go to VTT and the one I recommend to anyone who asks. However I have been very intrigued by the idea of Fantasy Grounds by smiteworks. Everything built in is wonderful, though it comes at a higher premium. This is not really a...

After reading this, I am completely convinced that I am going to do away with alignment moving forward. I always just though of alignment as like a brief guide if you will, almost as like a baseline when coming up with a new character, never a hard line drawn in the sand. I couldn't even tell...

For important NPCs I want backstory. For villains, I want their backstory. For the campaign setting, I want the backstory. For everything else, a few words about their personality and their motivations are fine. As a DM I basically want all the details that 'set the stage' and then everything...

Any is really fine with me because I have no intent of using them, but not a jerk enough to say "more races are dumb and no one should want them". Also... More races are dumb and no one should ever use them. heh

Half-Elf Too much work for the DM to consistently express how tieflings might be treated by npcs anywhere and everywhere they go.

I wonder if they could try and better define "create games" vs let's call it "actively played games" vs "gaming sessions" Like Created games = created games tagged by system Gaming Sessions = 3 or more people logged into a game simultaneously for one hour or more; this would eliminate GMs...

Ok I just looked up my account and I currently have spent 517 hours "on Roll20" (which really means actually logged into a game, not PLAYING a game ie GM prep work counts) A couple of things to point out super quick. 1. The 1 million accounts - several people have made comments about how...

edit: I didn't mean for that to come across as snarky. I meant can you elaborate on what you are trying to do?

Huh? Disadvantage doesn't give something -5 to a DC. I'm not really sure what you meant here?

Ok, I'm going to say this too. I admittedly think there is never a time in a game where I couldn't fit a joke in. Like your group, my gang of friends all do it too, but man do I need to work on this.

When I heard (a few years ago now) about DnD coming out with a new edition and that they were going to have an open playtest for fans to give them feedback I remember thinking "Good for them. But honestly it's too little, too late." I cannot believe how FAST this edition has been accepted by...

Hmmm interesting. I'm tempted to ignore rolls as the DM here. Although I typical believe any opportunity to let a player roll a die is a good thing, in this instance if I don't think it would be plausible as the character he is trying to pull this from is holding it, I would not try and tie...

So is there ANYTHING you are working on? Do you role play with an accent?

Hey Guys/Gals, New member here and I have to say, I am absolutely loving the community so far. Truly. Moving on to the topic at hand. I know a lot of GMs/DMs constantly work on their craft. Heck I think it's probably safe to say the majority of members here are DMs, though I admit this is just...

Can I just say this was my first thought. PLAY something. My group is full of completely capable DMs (a luxury, never a curse) and we ALWAYS have 2 GMs running 2 weeks on, two weeks off. I cannot oversell you on how much fun this is. The 2 week breaks let me recharge and refocus on where I...

The way I look at problematic players is this: I am an adult who has a plethora of responsibilities and a family that get the majority of my time (not complaining heh). As such, gaming is my 'me-time'. I expect people to respect my time as much as I respect theirs, to not be a jerk, and to...
