This point has stayed with me. I'm going to put some links to free downloads. Feel free to peruse. Here is the Official WoTC Fighter pre gen. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/m/product/171028 Here is the official A5e Fighter. Zidi Wheatling https://www.levelup5e.com/resources You can also...

Hi, I don't really have an opinion on this sheet, it's very pretty but I don't think I'll use it because it doesn't do what I want it to do. E.g. I would, personally, put initiative on the same page as combat. Seems relevant to fights to me. There seems to be a lot of background colour...

A rules as written Tiefling Warlock https://www.drivethrurpg.com/m/product/453833 The second level for that half elf fighter. (I'm pleased with the cover!) Bit more ostentatious but gets stuff done. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/m/product/453899

Sound like great people to me. :)

So Graeme Barber did a great set of posts about gaming on (and under) the high seas (not just pirates) and A5e is very much the easy way to implement this. Inspiring thread https://dice.camp/@pocgamer/111087453930953110 Article 1 - reasons to run an aquatic campaign and the pirate problem...

Just about the worst thing you can do when you retire is nothing. As in, put your feet up. That's part of why the people who got a retirement keep going into work. Being retired and being unemployed have similar harmful effects on physical and mental health. LOL won't be a problem for me. I've...

Yeah, all those, new culture, 5 backgrounds, and I'm trying to sort a Greek style map. Basically I'm just trying to get the funds to sort out a better layout artist (not my strength eh? 😀 ) and some funding for a more consistent art style, as opposed to having to keep purely public domain and a...

Worlds To-Go: The Elysians If you want to add a bit of Ancient Greece to your game, then you can check it out. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/homebrewandhacking/worlds-to-go-the-elysians With supporting blog post for more detail...

Good lord! Glad to hear they're keeping on trucking!

What is the topic of this thread? Teaching RPGs. What is my post about? Teaching RPGs. Do you have a positive opinion about the best way to teach new people TTRPGs? Do you have a methodology that you use to induct new people into TTRPGs? Do you have any tricks or thoughts about how to help...

Indeed no. OK, I think you're confusing what I'm talking about. I'm saying that you require a skill level to play an RPG. Especially one that goes beyond a very simple and robust core mechanic. Yes, that's right. Gaming is nowadays on a scale that none of us are used to or can easily...

Oh good you do understand why people are being deskilled and more people are entering the hobby through online only. I won't speculate as to why, as a I am based in the UK and the respective world rankings of the US and the UK are readily obtainable online. But these people do exist and...

😀 Because since 2017, I've seen a deskilled set of players on several occasions. Because I am happy to engage with and help people who are not confident with maths because they feel safe to talk to me. I had north of 200 people walk through my doors from 2017 to 2020 and I've run a lot of AL...

The AP DMs that I've interviewed, people like WackSteven and Little Red Dot (not major names I know) have said that it's a different style. Performing for an audience is different then the normal fare. I do quite enjoy doing voices though. 😀 Need to work on my range.

Thank you. To answer your earlier point, my understanding of the traditional feed-in mechanism of new players to TTRPGs is that most come in from D&D. If you've never played D&D, that's very cool but is a minority experience. That is they learn the general experience of a roleplaying game...

I just wanted to talk about how to make it easier to get into RPGs something which I'm pretty good at. Like, cool character sheet that works a lot better than anything else out there. Problems with the design of current ones. And instead I'm defending an uncontroversial position that...

Yikes. I mean... I really don't know how you see it as a conspiracy theory. My issues have been being told that: I know nothing about corporations I haven't seen people who can't play games without DnDBeyond I certainly am not claiming "Insider knowledge" that's wild. How can I provide...

I'm not being harassed by a member of the moderation team calling me a liar on the podcast. I am taken at my word as a roleplaying game club organiser, game designer, publisher and, broadcaster/journalist of what? 4/5 years? So when I say a thing, I may indulge in a touch of hyperbole, but the...

nods I wouldn't go that far. But I believe that we can't cost along on keeping games inaccessible. The absolute pushback against this concept and the realities of the situation is wild and quite funny to me TBPH.
