Emphasis mine. You don't know how good you've had it until its gone. I moved from Roseville, MN to Milwaukee. I would have thought Milwaukee would be somewhat similar in terms of FLGS as the Twin Cities, but I've not found one FLGS in Milwaukee County with decent playing space for TTRPGs...

I bought so much physical play aids, terrain, and minis when I first got back into TTRPGs when 5th ed was release and most of it never got used. But as part of downsizing and moving, I've given it all to folks I know will get use out of them so I don't feel too bad. More of long-delayed gifts...

Congrats! Looks great!

Hmmm...Milwaukee isn't that out there.

I suppose a Donut Hole meme would be NSFENWorld. ;-). Also, I wouldn't want to get kicked out of the Royal Court of Pincess Donut fan club.

Sorry, they've been recycled. Moving to another state and downsizing from a house to an apartment, while working full time and dealing with medical issues is enough stress that I'm pretty much taking a Marie-Kondo-during-an-emergency-evacuation approach to de-cluttering and downsizing.

For medical reasons, we are selling our house and moving to an apartment, requiring us to aggressively downsize. Most of my physical gaming stuff I gave to another GM, whose kids also play, and I know they'll get a lot of use. I still have the digital files for the maps in case I ever run Curse...

Do these events ever go "off Disney" and on the road? Seems like they may not be that practical for traveling shows.

I'm wondering if this tech would actually be better at the table during live play? It is so hard to account for the tech of all the players in an online game. For example, I've played around with ambiance music and like it during live, in-person play, but it always feels like a distraction in...

Have any of you tried cloth map printing services (e.g. Custom Game Cloth Map RPG Printing Service - Geekify Inc How does the price compare to printing to color on paper and laminating? I'm guessing at the larger sizes, if your local FedEx, etc. won't laminate, cloth maps may be a nice...

Well, I have to say that I also benefited from the fact that my dad still had a large supply of ink but wasn't print much or often. So I never had to pay for even ink. I even got a number of free blueprint tubes to store all the maps I printed. I'm downsizing and moving and it was hard to...

Exactly. I think running away and even attempting to parley was more core to the game then. Morale rules in OD&D were there from the start. Combat was not default annihilation. Failed morale would lead to monsters fleeing or attempting to parley. Morale was even more strongly emphasized in AD&D...

Skaven real-real, yes-yes! (WFRP 4e, The Enemy Within Campaign)

I bought the Schley maps for Curse of Strahd. At the time my father was still only semi-retired and still has a large-format printer so I was able to print everything out at scale. It was nice for in-person play and, while I'm nostalgic about minis on beautiful printed maps and using LOTS of...

Yep, but it is hard to keep discussions going here on specific game systems. It is almost always more rewarding to go to a forum on Reddit, Discord, etc. that is dedicated to the game. My current main campaign that I've been running for a year now is Warhammer Fantasy. But I play a lot of one...

Convert the PDF to DOCX ("Word"). Then in Microsoft Word do a search and replace. In search put "^g" (without the quotes) and leave the replace field blank. That should remove the graphics. Apple Pages and the free, open source LibreOffice don't offer the same functionality. If your...

The DDB app however is an accessibility god send. Not only allowing you to blow up the text, but it is so easy to jump to specific content. It is the gold standard for accessible reading. I've comfortably read whole books on my iPhone. Even I'm my MacBook, I'll use the iOS app from the app...

Yes! Fish Fries are a big thing in Milwaukee and I always look for the ones that do local fish.

You can look at this from the perspective of the designers theme/genre expectations or from a following the RAW. As for the former, there are players who will turn any TTRPG game into slap-stick comedy (or a soap opera, etc.), so I find this to be more of a discussion about table expectations...

While larger print physical books would be nice, I can understand that the economics of it makes it impractical. Also, it would make for larger/heavier books, making them less practical. So, I don't get too worked up about game books becoming more difficult to read as I age. What drives me nuts...
