They set up a Discord server and questions were asked in a text room other than the voice channel. Some talks were chat only

Virtual FnordCon was a good set of talks. Not sure how the game playing went but the talks were interesting.

Windows OS only. No Linux or Macintosh support.

There are some characters that D&D isn't going to work with. Especially if the player isn't going to take the one class that does what he wants. Or you can go find the reworked elemental monk. You'd need to go with Fate or something like Buffy the Vampire Slayer that had characters with...

I like getting some backgrounds of mars from NASA. Or really any NASA photographs. Another is find a gif where fish are moving around

Another explanation for the TP shortage is that the manufacturers run at 24/7 capacity for normal buying. There is no additional capacity to add so the panic buying demand cannot be matched and given that this isn't likely to last for very long, there is no easy way to increase production...

It isn't just soda, but gallon milk containers and juice bottles as well have the plastic rings.

I regularly have large groups because people at work are interested in playing so we have people pop in and out. It's lots of fun when everyone can make the session. I like large groups and I build my encounters to reflect how the large group impacts play. Ensuring that everyone gets screen...

It's possible that previous editions of D&D and other RPGs have linked fun to power and defeating enemies. It happened in any edition with over powered GM favorite characters (either run by them or their best friends), It happens when players min-max in any system (HERO system point...

Ensure there is some discussion of this as part of session 0. Rules arguments: GM has final say for the session. Discuss it with them after the session is over if there is some real problem Political arguments: GM needs to put their foot down and not allow RL to intrude into the game...

Steve Jackson Games is offering Melee for free Steve Jackson Games Daily Illuminator

I think the initiative variant that I would like to use is the one where after each character or opponent action, they can pass the initiative off to someone on their side or to the opposing side. Thus if players win initiative they can all take their actions before the enemy but then the enemy...

If you have the option to do something the players suggest and is interesting versus doing what you thought would happen always go with what the players suggest. 1. It makes them more interested in the world you are building. 2. Players will always thing things are worse than they are so it...

Play GURPS with 1 second turns or HERO where turns are broken up into segments if you want. D&D will always be a compromise. There are so many systems out there that complaining that x system does do what I want and has to change is really tiring. Go find a system you like then.

What I think makes a good GM is Someone who knows how to keep both the story and the game moving. Where players want to know what happens next. Someone who allows players their space to help make the game interesting which requires trust between the GM and the players Someone who is willing to...

Is anyone else disappointed that this didn't spell something? AGILE PINE or GENIE PAIL neither seems to work well.

There's always Darth and Droids where that's how you get Anakin. A Darth and Droids RPG would be fun.

I think it is very narrow focused to say PCs first goal is to survive. There are many cases where it makes good character narrative sense to have the character die to further a cause. Heck that's even a real life win condition for some people. The player's goal is to have fun and maybe tell a...

I'm pretty sure there was an April issue from the Dragon with an Accountant class. Yep Issue #48 along with Bugs and Daffy write ups.

That's looks pretty good. Seems to have similar features as to Lion's Den Gamemaster. Is it easy to add your own custom creatures? the work to get things into the XML for Lion's Den is the only thing that takes a lot of time.
