    In Defence of Chickens - DCC RPG (OOC)

    OK, with @theCourier missing, presumed distracted, we'll skip their turn. @FitzTheRuke - trying to slip in, grab Dav and get back out without the monsters stopping you would be a feat of derring-do! If Markus wants to attempt it; roll a DC15 Agility check.

    What do you want to do, @theCourier . Granny's surrounded by monsters!

    In Defence of Chickens - DCC RPG (OOC)

    First man down! Sorry for the slight delay - I was away this weekend without my notes. @FitzTheRuke - I put you in iniative order; so your guys have not moved yet and you can rethink your actions if you want based on what's going on when we hit your turn. Let me know if a diagram would help...

    In Defence of Chickens [IC]

    The creature with the missing jaw scrambles backwards, Granny's pitchfork just scraping across its chest. It lets out a gurgling sound that might be a laugh, and drops Dav to the floor with a thump. A louder thump sounds from behind Granny as a towering figure, at least 7 feet tall, plummets...

    D&D 5E (2014) Just About Sick Of Darkvision.

    No they can't. Most mammals can see in low light better than humans, but mammals are a tiny fraction of animals. And, in the real world, improved vision in low light typically comes at the expense of good vision in bright light. Most mammals see less colours than humans (primates, really)...

    In Defence of Chickens [IC]

    As Wenzel moves over to join the group forming a ring, Edelgard crouches behind the blackened building, keeping his distance but still able to see. Yolo scampers backwards, leaving Jack and Billy stood in front of the open door. One of the figures in darkness strides forward to the open door...

    @thirdkingdom - let us know if Yolo wants to close the door, knowing it would mean quickly running into the tower with the monsters to grab the handle and get out.

    Sorry to hear that, but thanks for being up front about it. You're welcome to take over control @FitzTheRuke since TheAlkaizer has no objections. Stats can be found in the post above, current situaiton in Post 68.

    When Did Rome Fall?

    What? Don't listen to this post, Enworld. Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire is a beautiful book. The historiography is outdated, but the prose is wonderful. It's a delight to read. Added by edit: In fact, now that I think about it, I reread it after I visited Rome. I remember standing on the...

    There are 20 of you. It can be complex to keep track!

    When Did Rome Fall?

    I visited on holiday in about 2014 or so. Can confirm that Rome was still there at the time.

    Yolo bashed the door inwards, closing it would mean running into the tower to grab it. Give me a DC 15 Agility check if you want to try that without them being able to stop you.

    In Defence of Chickens - DCC RPG (OOC)

    Some clarity on locations might help here! Yolo, Jack and Billy are all stood just in front of the open door. There are snarling nasties about 20 ft in front of them. Granny, Calvin, Ranken and Koby are stood watching just a little behind these three. Wenzel, Edelgard, Markus, Vasha, Mac...

    The door is blocked fast from the other side, but as Calvin and Billy approach to help him, Yolo throws his full weight against the rusty door. With a dull thunking sound, it bursts open inwards, revealing a dark interior about 40 ft in diameter. Yolo is immediately hit by a rotten, foul...

    Sorry for the delay - stuck at a work conference for two days. I'm back and ready to roll.

    Semi-Virtual Table Top: Please Help With A Decision

    They don't need to,. Using Roll20 as an example, if (as the GM) you hit ctrl+l while selecting a token, it will show you what the player controlling that token will see. The only issue I can see is if you want things on the map to be hidden to all players. Switching between player views is easy...

    Semi-Virtual Table Top: Please Help With A Decision

    On something like Roll20, if you have the visions of all the tokens set differently, you can switch the shared monitor view between them as each player takes their turn. It won't change the fact that Dave already saw what the elf could see on the previous turn, but it will help him understand...

    New Campaign - But Which System?

    You say that 2nd edition is not available on Roll20, but there's a great character sheet available with all the dice roll macros setup. You don't have a compendium, but do you really need one? It'll take a little longer to set up a character sheet, but it's not like players have loads of spells...

    In Defence of Chickens [IC]

    Investigating the door to the south-east tower, there is no visible lock, but it appears to be held shut, probably by something from the other side. Standing close, there are faint, muffled sounds coming from the other side. It sounds like there are animals held in there.
