Althis

@BESW This Bundle of Holding thing is just the PDFs, right?

BESW

@Althis Aye.

Sandwich

Those minis look excellent

Adeptus

@Sandwich Yeah, Reaper are pretty great

I was thinking of buying their KS... until I realised that with postage & conversion, it'd cost me AU$200 for the base package. I'll just stick to buying the occasional single figure...

Sandwich

12:32 AM

That is a lot of minis though

Adeptus

12:43 AM

It is. But I can't justify spending $200 on minis

Good Morning!

Miniman

Morning!

Codeacula

Hi! waves

Miniman

(I wouldn't worry too much, the Devourer of Mornings hasn't been active lately.)

Nyoze

@Miniman What's this? Not calling out to your evil master?

Miniman

@Nyoze No point - it's been too long since he was in for him to be pinged.

Nyoze

2:03 AM

Ah :(

doppelgreener

2:52 AM

Nope I can ping him!

He is in the autocomplete suggestions!

@BESW I would get this and play upon this.

doppelgreener

3:15 AM

@BESW 100% spam-proof, hahahaha

BESW

@doppelgreener I think this is the future of the Internet.

doppelgreener

i wish to add this to something

along with a proud "powered by echochamber" line at the bottom

BESW

> the garden got torrential rain in my absence and is now eight feet tall where it hasn't fallen over and the beans took over the arch that they were supposed to be growing gracefully over, so now you have to go under it bent double, and the tomatoes are probably a loss, but the spaghetti squash is still fighting through the mildew and the ground cherries are taller than I am and the tomatillos are terrifying and the garden is supposed to have a photo shoot next week and it is not a cottage garden any longer but a wild green apocalypse and I am slightly afraid.

doppelgreener

this is probably what Stellata's garden would be like, if she had one

BESW

"Quite terrifyingly alive"?

doppelgreener

3:28 AM

yes XD

BESW

"the kind of garden where if one of the animals or small children is missing for even a short time, one eyes it suspiciously"?

doppelgreener

XD yes also this

and nothing at all would be trimmed, only tamed by competition

BESW

So what you're saying is, we're going to have an adventure lost in Stellata's garden.

And/or attempting to defeat its bid for world domination.

doppelgreener

@BESW "How can this even happen!? It's only half an acre!"

And yes an adventure against/inside Stellata's garden sounds great!

BESW

....I have a "wilderness run amok" plot sitting right here, waiting for a campaign to fit into.

doppelgreener

3:42 AM

And now you have a campaign that needs a "wilderness run amok" plot

the big question is: should Stellata be there as well?

is the garden under her control but she is not available to exert it (away on a mission), or absolutely out of her control and rebelling against her?

methinks Fate would say "play her or not, and we'll find out!" but I'm interested in what your plot might require, if either.

BESW

I'd be okay with either.

doppelgreener

Ok! :D

BESW

@doppelgreener If you want details, I could clear the Spoil-Lair.

doppelgreener

@BESW CLEAR THIS SPOIL-LAIR!

BESW

@doppelgreener Buffer installed.

Masaka

4:40 AM

Anyone home?

Nyoze

Nope.

Masaka

I see.

doppelgreener

no

i agree with that other person who isn't here

about my not being here

Masaka

A vocal silent majority.

doppelgreener

[ponders existence]

yes that's it

Masaka

Anyone have any suggestions for campaign design programs? Just getting into DMing now... Feel like it would have been better to do so a few years ago when Masterplan still worked.

I'm basically just looking for a way to easily/quickly place a bunch of PDFs onto a single sheet of paper for reference.

Pixie

I am here sort of. I am in existential flux.

Althis

@Pixie You are like a cat in a atomic box.

You might be dead, and you might be alive.

You have to open the box to find out!

Pixie

I might be unalive or nondead.

Nyoze

Schrodinger's Cat was just a Zombie.

Althis

@Pixie In which of those states do you develop a particular taste for braaaaaains?

Pixie

4:50 AM

I have an undead cat OC, but actually not inspired by Schrodinger's cat. Inspired by something else entirely. :v

Althis

@Pixie Egypt, right?

Pixie

@Althis I have a much less satiable taste for the whipped cream they put on top of smoothies.

@Althis Nooope. The Cat that Came Back. xD

Althis

Is it any different from regular whipped cream?

BESW

@Masaka Is this, like, organising campaign notes?

Or distributing handouts online?

Or creating power cards?

Managing spell lists?

Pixie

@Masaka I might be able to suggest something with some more information. I'm not sure what is meant by putting multiple PDFs onto a single sheet of paper.

BESW

4:58 AM

Tell us more about the problem you're looking to solve!

Adeptus

If all you want to do is literally put a bunch of PDFs on one sheet, then you want a PDF editor (at least, one that lets you extract & combine individual pages) and a print driver that supports multiple-page-per-sheet printing.

Masaka

The powercards suggestion sort of works... Though Power2ool has a section to connect to the compendium and isn't recognizing my login...

I'm basically looking for a tool that will let me place all of the monsters for one of my encounters into the same, easy to read and edit, place.

If that tool can also be used for writing summaries of my campaigns easily adding skill challenges or direct me to some pregenerated maps.... even better. But the ability to easily and quickly put all the monsters for an encounter into the same spot is paramount.

BESW

Hmm. I used to have a downloaded program which helped me with that... [pokes around]

@Sandwich Haha!

Beary nice

A: What is a good combat tracker for D&D 4th Edition?

I find inCombat quite handy, because it seamlessly integrates with iplay4e and the compendium.

That's what I used in 4e.

Masaka

hmm, I'll give it a shot.

doppelgreener

@Sandwich i get it, she ate a beary

Sandwich

Well at least now she has the right to bear arms

And bear feet

Althis

@doppelgreener I would never, never, never would have guessed that punchline.

Thankfully you are here to help me understand.

^No sarcasm.

doppelgreener

5:17 AM

i have very important duties to fulfil, yes

worry not, kindly chat denizen, i am here to help

Althis

If one ever knew the weights laid upon those shoulders every day, right?

^Sarcasm.

doppelgreener

aha yes! in your sarcasm you see clearly! these weights are not great at all. the duties are merely important, is all.

Q: Should there be a badge for reaching 100 starred individual messages in chat?

I see a list of all the badges and for most actions on the site there's a third tier once you reach a certain threshold, normally with questions or answers. 1/10/100 points on a question or answer, etc. There's currently a 1 star and a 10 star for chat messages. Does anyone feel that there would...
