    Trying out WFRP 4e - Ubersreik Days and Nights [+]

    @TheSword I notice on your landing page, where you list out the PC's motivations (great idea to emphasize it and keep it in the players' minds BTW), I notice that you have skill buffs listed, and +# [skill], e.g. "and +5 Charm". Is that part of the motivation goal or an additional reward?

    Trying out WFRP 4e - Ubersreik Days and Nights [+]

    I went pretty crazy with landing pages for a while. Foundry was almost a second hobby for me. I put a bunch of effects, Easter eggs, links to content to give players something to play around with why waiting for everyone to join or when we were going over housekeeping. But the effort versus...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Other threads are sending me back to the Pineapple Express more than usual this evening. I much prefer Kickstarter backer drama to remain in Kickstarter's comment section. (Well, Backerkit in this instance. Point still applies.)

    Stop Looking At Your Character Sheet

    Hey now, give me a break, I've not learned how to doodle in my mind yet!

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Reading some of the recent threads in EN World is giving me nightmare flashes of studying Secured Transactions 25 years ago. So I come hop on the Pineapple Express and Snarf makes everything better. The Lincoln attribution made me choke on my tea. Snarf is an EN World treasure.

    A Deep Dive in D&D: Dragon Delves

    I understand the OPs and other folks' feeling that the retrospective art pages could have been better used for more adventure content. But the first thing I did when I got to book was flip through the book to the retrospective art sections for each adventure. I love that stuff and I like mixing...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 Is Almost Upon Us! Discuss What You Want

    Sorry if posted earlier in the thread, but can anyone recommend a good summation video of the first two seasons?

    For those who don't play D&D (or its clones), what keeps you engaged with EN World?

    Yeah, I go in cycles in terms of how active I'm on the site. But even when I'm very busy or go on a strict social-media diet, I still find myself checking out the site for the news post fairly regularly. Its a bit of a goldilocks gaming forum. When I get into a new system I'll go to Reddits...

    A few things I really like about WFRP

    This is an incredibly important distinction for WFRP that differs from many TTRPGs. It took me a while to get out of the mindset of worrying about "balanced" encounters.

    Nice landing page! Did you make it interactive?

    D&D General What I learn from DM 600 sessions of Adventure League

    All good advice. I'm curious how #15 works with AL games. Early in 5e I played some AL games. The typical arrangement in FLGS where I attended was that there were some established AL groups running through a campaign for whatever book was new that season. Maybe about a third of the people...

    D&D General Wearing a lantern on your belt?

    I'm willing to allow anachronistic head-worn, hands-free lighting, especially with fantasy cultures known for engineering and mining. But worn on a belt, backpack, or chest gear, I'm inclined to rule against that. While it is perhaps not entirely out of the realm of possibility, especially in a...

    D&D General My experience with paid D&D tools after 3+ years as a DM/Player

    No, the summaries are useful. But Gemini also tries to determine "action items" or "next steps" based on the conversation. So if you say "I'll talk to greg to get the cost estimates for the new server", Gemini will add a "Get new-server estimate from Greg" (or something similar) to the "Next...

    D&D General My experience with paid D&D tools after 3+ years as a DM/Player

    I've not yet used it for a game session but I've used Google Meet's transcript and summary features. It creates a document with two tabs. One is "notes" which give a (usually) one-paragraph summary of the meeting, bulleted "details", and "suggested next steps". The second tab is the full...

    D&D General My experience with paid D&D tools after 3+ years as a DM/Player

    No reason to be embarrassed. They are great tools. I would personally like to go back to Google Meet, but my players strongly prefer Discord. If I were doing screen sharing instead of using a VTT for maps, I'd go back to Meet -‑ it is just a cleaner interface IMO. But I'm fine with Discord just...

    D&D General My experience with paid D&D tools after 3+ years as a DM/Player

    1. I run long campaigns. My current one will go at least until the end of next year. So I'll be looking for another game system at that time. I like the Crucible Game System, but it currently is half baked and development has been slow, which brings me to point 2... 2. To support Foundry, and...
