    D&D General The Canadian Influence on the Forgotten Realms

    YeH. My experience is similar. Forests in California don’t seem to have the same obfuscating density of western Canadian forests. It’s still a forest and plenty thick for a city boy like me but it’s not... BC type stuff.

    Social Distancing and Dragons

    I found that the basic/free version worked fine when I used it that way(for over a year). You are correct about Chrome. That was an issue with us at the beginning too. Forgot about that.

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    So: I ran RoT free and am now a pro subscriber. While the pro subscription gives you a lot of cool things, they’re mostly bells and whistles that aren’t necessary. I think the biggest thing is the increased space for saving maps etc. I found with the free version I’d run out of space and have...

    D&D 5E (2014) Most User-Friendly VTT? (Dice Games In The Time of Covid)

    We use Roll20 and discord for D&D and Call I’d Cthulhu. For a different game we use discord and a whiteboard app/website. Both work great.

    D&D General I need a D&D counseling session! Help! (Re: Update ("Argument-Stopping Protocols" -- please advise!))

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    If your using an ‘advanced’ account the “torch” API makes the whole dynamic lighting thing with dark vision and other light sources really easy.

    D&D 5E (2014) Most User-Friendly VTT? (Dice Games In The Time of Covid)

    There’s also someone on the forums who makes them and puts a bunch in a thread for free. I haven’t used them but they look really good.

    D&D 5E (2014) Most User-Friendly VTT? (Dice Games In The Time of Covid)

    Roll20 + discord video. Especially if you have a second monitor. If you don’t want to bother with maps(which don’t HAVE to be detailed, a lot of times I just scribble on the map and go with it. Much like real life!) just use video chat and let people roll at home. The learning curve of...

    D&D General Is "official" lore important to you?

    Not in the slightest. Canon is for fodder.

    Help a Gamer Out: Streaming Recommendations for Self Isolation

    Bosch is a good cop show. Gets better when the writers realize that some story threads have no where to go. Also, being an LA native, the city almost get a starring role. The show does a good job making the city a character. The first seasons victim ‘lived’ a few blocks from where I am now...

    Which Online Virtual Tabletop Do You Use?

    I’m in the same boat. I pay 10/month and my players(6+) don’t pay a dime and it all seems to work out great.

    D&D General GaryCon Cancelled Because Of Caronavirus Pandemic

    I guess. All the parents and staff were like “2 weeks? See you guys in 4-6!”

    D&D General GaryCon Cancelled Because Of Caronavirus Pandemic

    L.A. schools closed for two weeks as well but I’m confident that the schools will be closed for longer. Two weeks seems pretty optimistic.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is 5e the Least-Challenging Edition of D&D?

    ^ Yup. If you can’t challenge your players the issue isn’t with the rule set.

    D&D 5E (2014) Have we rebalanced the Champion Yet?

    Completely unnecessary and a bit of a waste. Unless it works for you.

    I was told by VERY SMART people right here in this very thread that this was a media hoax.
