Like everything else on the list, I think that this is highly dependent on the expectations of the group. As a legal technologist I've worked with attorneys and legal assistants continue to struggle with software even when their jobs depend on it. There are people for whom certain technology...

This. I don't mind if I can't hear it. A lot depends on what you are using for the microphone. But generally, if you are eating while gaming, push-to-talk is your (and your fellow player's) friend. Same for when you have a noisy background and are not using a high-quality...

In my monthly game that I GM we go off camera. I actually think it is more immersive. But nearly all games I've joined as a player have expected cameras to be on. Some people feel very strongly about it. Not much different than work video calls. In my current and prior job, it would be...

Love seeing the picture of Petra. My trip to Jordan may be my last trip given health conditions.

There have been a lot of threads about gaming etiquette and bad GM/player horror stories in EN World, but I don't recall any specific to VTTs. I'll be interested in how my fellow EN Worlder's feel about some of these occasionally divisive online play etiquette rules. Also, if you have any...

We've seen this cave before...

For me, my legs are cursed. You'd think there would be more distribution of injuries. I'll be kind, however, and save you all from a selfie of my legs.

Having a dedicated, specially made gaming table with a display built in did work for the multi-purpose area where I ran my games when I was running them in person. Also, I wanted the option to continue to make use of digital battlemaps when away from home, so I had gaming case made. I used...

I played 1e in the 80s and then 5e starting in 2014, and no D&D in between, so I've missed a lot of D&D content. But my favorite D&D book of all time is Volo's Guide to Monsters. I know I'm in the minority and that was one the first books to get "legacy" status on D&D Beyond. I'm glad I bought...

I'll ahve to check that out, but if it is only available on YouTube, I doubt I will. I mainly listen to it when doing chores, at the gym, or during my 10 hours of driving I do every other weekend. I need something that I can follow and download on Pocket Casts.

It can be hard to manage, but some live plays do a good job providing entertaining improv while also engaging and discussing the rules. Godsfall in its early seasons was good at this, the DM would make and explain a ruling quickly without turning the game into a slog and would do cut ins to...

The amount of time I spend listening to live plays is probably a bit less than half of the time I spend preparing for, running, or playing in games. I tend to stick with live plays using systems that I am familiar with. I like live plays that engage and generally stick to the rules. Not only can...

I assume Monty Martin is a creator/publisher and I can assume that the extra overhead of trying to understand and adhere to multiple licenses can be a headache for small publishers. Ultimately, though, I think it just comes down to whether an IP is popular enough. D&D depends on a large...

Same, but I do find PDFs helpful for quick look ups during a game or to have ready reference when I'm on the road or otherwise away from my books. For crunchy games I really like and play a lot, like WFRP, I've bought the PDF, physical, and VTT versions of the same book more often than I would...

Do you run any one shots? I can't commit to a campaign, but I'd love to join a one‑shot or drop‑in on a session if you ever allow that.

Hey thanks, I made the same mistake. I was expecting this thread to go in a different direction. What shall I do with this bowl of popcorn? I don't think that I would buy an IP game like this if it didn't come with the rule system. I wonder how many people buy games for IPs like this to run...
