As a working class kid who ended up in white collar fields, I think it has more to do with just lack of conscientiousness. 30 years ago, I would say that I saw this more with those from higher income brackets. But not it seems to be more universal. Probably just an age thing. One you've spent 18...

Is it? In Foundry I do this, but with a community mod. I like the functionality in that it not only changes the font but things are scrambled and you can't read the text if your character doesn't understand the language. But I don't recall similar functionality on Roll20 or Map Tool. I could...

What is your preferred superheros ttrpg system? I'm thinking something interesting could be done with the Cortex Prime system. Marvel Heroic Roleplaying is based on Cortex, have you played that? Do you think the mix if dice step up and dice pools works well for an abstracted system that still...

Now, now. We all know Mr. Dinklage is a miniature space Goliath barbarian.

I think of myself as a very open minded gamer. I can enjoy playing just about any game as long as I can get on with the rest of the players. And I generally can get on with most people. So I rarely turn down a gaming session because of the system. But there is one big exception. I don't like...

Dr. Strangegame, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Online Play

Uhhmmm...okaaay... That's how I spell it. B-)

I'm hopeful and even a bit excited about this. I don't think they need to do much to make it replayable. When I got my box set in the 80s, I kept running games through the Caves of Chaos, thinking that was the game. Then I started making my own dungeons on graph paper. Then I discovered modules...

I think that the reason for this is that while Foundry didn't have official licensed content for D&D until recently, there were several very good mods for importing your D&D Beyond content in Foundry. The D&D 5e game system in Foundry was functional enough and that explains the system support...

We should start "1-20 Club" thread! Sounds like your campaign was a blast. I've run two 1-20 campaigns in the past 10 years. The first doesn't really count in that it was a milestone leveling campaign where we'd play for a level for 1-2 sessions. There would be downtime between levels until...

Agreed, Roll20's Find a Game service is still one of the best ways to find games online. I've used it many times. Mostly for one shots. Either just because I wanted to be a player for once or because I wanted to try a system I've never played, usually both.

This is the most exciting thing I've read. If Sigil is able to get automation of combat, especially AOE effects down, I'll be very tempted to switch to it when I run D&D again. I don't currently have a personal windows computer and I've read that it doesn't run in Parallels. I might create a...

True, but I could listen to Lou's self-interested tirades all day. And I always like the gem-like look and feel of game science dice, though the burrs from the molds always bothered me. Not because I was worried about the rolls but it just blemished the look.

Thanks for correcting me. I was definitely basing my comment on my experience from years ago.

Foundry explains how it randomizes its dice rolls and why they should be as random as physical dice. I've pasted their explanation below. The last paragraph is very interesting to me. I don't have enough technical knowledge to ensure I'm reading this right. But it sounds like a set of random...

Never used them, but looking at the photos, we would not allow them at our table because of how hard the numbers would be to read. It will be hard to fill in the numbers. Regular ink will not stick to silicone. If you want to ink in the numbers, you'll need special plastics markers.

I did a 360 assessment for work once, with a 20 co‑workers, some managers, some direct reports, and others just peers from other units I worked with. One of the few assessments that I found very valuable, useful, and actionable. Would be interesting to have something similar to assess myself as...

And the fact that the most popular TTRPGs are set in the medieval era.

I've never run into this IRL. Beside, I'm a father of two teenage son's. Being called a grognard would not hurt my feelings than being told "okay, Dad..."
