TTT is only like 8 or 9 days in. TFS is probably nearing the end of day 2. :)

Have we been playing for two years now?!

FTB was a full year later… (reply)

This is our campaign's main page. There are a two sub-forums within it. "Gameplay" is where the game is actually played and Discussion is where we usually do level-ups and used to ask the GM for clarifications (we now have a Hangouts group to pester each other at any time). One of the coolest features, IMO, is the die roll, which is seeded on some secret number in a way that, no matter how many times you edit a post, the RNG will always output the same number.

DungeonGrid is what we use for maps. Beorn once made a Google Sheet to help our GM draw a map, then went full-blown crazy programmer and made DG. It was around the same time FTB happened, so I'm still trying to find out what the hell he took then so I can be this productive in such a short timeframe as well. I, for one, find the distance calculator handy as hell, as well as the aura render.

How do you play online? (reply)

Can confirm Pathfinder is pretty cool. Been playing with some fine DBO folks and Raga for the past dunno how many months (MANY months) online on Paizo.com (with the help of DungeonGrid for visualizing). All of Pathfinder's rulebooks are easily accessible in the site and the UI for them has had a major overhaul recently.

No idea. I barely got back in when I changed phones! (reply)

4.0 is a baby version for noobs and you're dumb for liking it.

That'd actually be awesome (reply)

ZackDark — Tue, 15 Mar 2016 07:38:46 +0000

How do we get new people in, again?

Unrelated: which one's best for newbs? (reply)

4th is for people that want to play WoW with miniatures and dice.

Perfect!

Heh, we'll invite you to the Slack group channel thing. (reply)

the general consensus on 4 is no thanks.

We just started a campaign running 5th edition. those of us that have played used to play AD&D, 3.5, and a little pathfinder. so far we are really enjoying 5th edition, the rules and balance make a lot more sense for a lot of things and we are really enjoying it. the "Starter box" cost about 10 bucks and comes with a rule book and module and enough fun to get your party to 5th level. honestly, I'd recommend a newb to play pathfinder or 5th edition about equally.

but not 4th. 4th is for people that want to play WoW with miniatures and dice.

Pathfinder or version 3.5 seem to be the favorites among the groups that I played with.

I did an exceptionally short campaign with my friends in 4, and I liked it quite a bit, but the others didn't hate it. They said it was like a baby version for noobs and I was dumb for liking it.

Now arguably, they're correct, cause D&D is kind of dumb. Is 4 good?

Haha, I meant are you using 3.5, pathfinder, or 5th edition, or some other RPG system to build your destiny world?

What system will you guys be using?

Literally just dice, paper and a table. We do it all in our imaginations and don't worry about boards and shit. (Not that your table isn't cool :-)

Heh (reply)

ObsidianKitteh — Mon, 14 Mar 2016 23:56:48 +0000

Ahhhhh. In that case, I agree! If you need real world testing I'd love to get my hands on an offline version for the table. And when we start producing tables I'd like to ship with proprietary software to run games in so you know, develop that... please and thanks.

In all seriousness, I've been a little headstrong trying to work with roll20 just for how easy building a campaign is in their structure - but I would LOVE to have an offline tool for building and displaying maps. I'm going to play with your app a bit and start submitting my own feature request soon, I'm sure

Heh (reply)

ZackDark — Mon, 14 Mar 2016 20:14:51 +0000

Nah, Raga likes pestering Beorn about adding more features to DungeonGrid. Compatibility with your table is, now, top priority in our (the requesters) list.
