How dynamic do you need it? Do you need the formed unit to show lost of individuals in that unit or does the formed unit have single stat block? If a single stat block, follow the advice above and create a token that shows multiple troops. A variety of ways to do this, but it has already been...

I like to call support and complain that their site is useless in Lynx.

WFRP 4e is simply too complex for many people and it isn't helped that the core book feels a bit rushed with some things like monster building getting dropped in order to fit everything into one core book. It is hard to cross-reference related rules in core book and then you add in the complete...

I take issue with this, but will give my thoughts on this below. First, to answer the question at the end of your post. I think that the three collections of Ubersreik Adventures, along with Rough Nights and Hard Days can be made into a satisfying campaign with less rail-roading than The Enemy...

There is also a trend where the media finds ways to market nostalgia. In the 1930s through the 50s comic strips like Li'l Abner, Prince Valient, and Flash Gordon saw compilation reprints targeting older readers. I wonder if the older parents of the silent generation found it strange for their...

Yes. Yes we do.

Gotta do something when you are baked-up and sitting a while. If you roll it back up, insert place holders, and perhaps add sittybos to distinguish your multiple scrolls; then invest in a heavy wooden DM screen and screw in toilet-roll dispensers on the DM side of that screen--well, you may be...

Thanks for the recommendation. I decided to check it out and book mark it if it look interested. A couple hours later I had to tear myself away and make myself go to bed. Really love the art and world it builds.

Oh man, once again I'm doing it wrong. I spend a lot of time talking about aging. Started a whole thread on the topic. Uh...am I the reason so few young people post here? I don't want to scare them away. I guess I'll nix my new thread on what our colonoscopies can teach us about dungeon delves.

Yeah, that was how I thought about it, but before making my post I looked it up. "In the U.S., the Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan think tank, delineates a Generation X period of 1965–1980 which has gradually gained acceptance in academic circles." and "Writing for Pew's Trend magazine in...

I mean today. While D&D experience its first boom in 80s, and many kids played it at the time, the majority gave it up as they became adults. Among those who did play and gave it up who are in their 40s and above today, many find it strange when people their age are still playing it. Further...

I don't mean when you were young. For folks in their early to mid 40s and older, I think many would find it strange for adults to be playing TTRPGs. I don't think that is the case for people in their 20s. Just personal experience. I don't know if there are any good polls or studies on this.

Yes. Back in the 80s about the only notes I had were keyed notes for a map. VTT map pins are no different.

Age and industry make a difference. Generation X and older will tend to hold more negative connotations about TTRPGs than younger generation, in my experience. Also in my experience, for people in their 40s and older, I'm far more likely to find people participating in, or interested in, the...

Paying for a hosting service for Foundry like The Forge or Molten can really help with this. If you have the option of upping your bandwidth that may be a better deal than paying for hosting, but if your location prevents using a hosting service will free up bandwidth.

I can understand why some people feel that their PC is good enough and have no desire to buy a new one just for a game, even if they can afford it. But I equally understand why a group playing an online game would require a certain level of equipment, bandwidth, and technical knowledge.

Yeah, if it is a new group, that would be a red flag for me to nope out. First, I get annoyed at the sound of chewing, especially annoying when they are on mic and you are wearing a head phone. That's just a personal misphonia--heck some people enjoy it given the subculture of ASMR. But when it...

It is nolstalgia like so much else in life. My earliest memory of going to the movies was seeing a bond movie with my dad. I don't even remember which one. I just remember other guys sitting nearby talking to my dad and I about Bond and liking the cool gadgets.

Are they still proceeding with developing a bespoke VTT for the system?

I think it is a great idea for a campaign. The time zone difference makes it impossible for me to join on a weekday. Also, I can't commit to a regular campaign. But I'm following you on StartPlaying. If you ever run a weekend game as a one-shot or are okay with drop-in players, I'll love to join...
