TRPG General Chat

@LegendaryDude One GM I know has it solved, I think: the moment a side declares the intent to quit the combat, the DMG's chase rules--rather than combat-round movement--come into play.

@Shalvenay looks like I didn't reply to that one. (Oops!) Fridays tend to be very spotty for me: my high-schoolers play roughly every-other, and my orchestra concerts are often on Friday evenings. Sundays would be much better for me. (cc @Ash)

@trogdor That's right--when I made the strange equivalence "everyone not in my conversation right now" = "tourists". Definitely was paying a lot more attention to exams than chat!

trogdor

lol

well, to be fair there, I am still sorta a tourist

I only lurk in those games because it is hard to fit my schedule to when they happen

12:37 AM

maybe tourist isn't the right word for that, but it's probably better than "participant"

nitsua60

@trogdor What, 10am on a workday isn't good for you to step out and game for three hours?

trogdor

@nitsua60 lololol :P XD

@nitsua60 it's more like, 11 or 12 or so

usually, at least so far

but close enough yeah

Adeptus

@trogdor just take a looooong lunch break

trogdor

that is an excessively long lunch right there

I think I already fudge my lunch time a little, doing even more of that isn't what I want to start doing XD

nitsua60

Forgive my ignorance: Age of Rebellion, Edge of the Empire, and Force & Destiny are related games, right?

trogdor

12:45 AM

I have no idea

for a second I thought that middle one was "Age" of Empires

and I was about to be really confused XD

Miniman

@nitsua60 Well, they're all RPGs about Star Wars, so definitely related.

user15026

@nitsua60 Sundays are theoretically doable, although I run into similar issues at the end of March as I do with the saturdays.

user15026

(I appreciate the efforts to include me but my weird work schedule means I jam a lot into Sundays, because they're the only "weekend" day I get (I mean I am off Mondays, but those are a common workday for everyone else I know, generally))

nitsua60

@Ash Fairy 'nuff. Working every Saturday morning and every-other Sunday afternoon (with every fifth weekend fully work-booked) I can certainly understand.

(Then again, I'm starting tomorrow an entire month off, so don't go feeling bad for me.)

@Shalvenay Hey :-) Welcome :-)

Shalvenay

@peterh welcome :)

Shalvenay

1:56 AM

hey as well @Pilchard123

Pilchard123

@nitsua60 I think they're all basically the same system, but they focus on different types of adventure. I've read that the books are all cross compatible, but I don't have any experience with them.

Hey @Shalvenay

nitsua60

@Pilchard123 They're... on close-together shelves at my FLGS, is abut all I know =|

Shalvenay

how're things going?

LegendaryDude

@nitsua60 They are technically different games using the same system. They're three parts of the same greater gamiverse.

They are standalone, and tend towards different types of adventure. They each have their own campaign setting (all within the SW universe) and classes, lore, etc., focusing on different aspects of Star Wars.

nitsua60

@LegendaryDude Is it akin to you and me writing two games--"LD" and "nits", let's call them--but both using the d20 "engine"? And, for fun, let's set both our games in Hyborea?

LegendaryDude

2:05 AM

But they are completely compatible with each other and share the same rules system.

Miniman

@nitsua60 Where's Hyborea?

nitsua60

(It's the Conan setting.)

Miniman

@nitsua60 Ah, right.

LegendaryDude

They're more closely related than that. There's just too much content for a single Star Wars game so they split it into three settings with three core books.

Better than splitting it across three core books and requiring them all.

Miniman

So it's more like Eberron, Dark Sun, and Forgotten Realms, where the different world content necessitates some different rules but it's still all one system?

nitsua60

2:07 AM

Okay, so is this me writing my magnum opus game, where there are three game-modes: small-party adventuring, wargaming, and Great Game/political intrigue? I use the same mechanics for all three (because I'm a re-user), but they're meant for playing fundamentally different stories.

LegendaryDude

@Miniman Closer, but they're directly connected and in the same universe. They're completely compatible with each lore-wise and rule-wise.

One focuses on a more espionage and political type game, one focuses on Jedi and their conflicts, and one focuses on smuggling, bounty hunting, and other fringe of society activities.

@nitsua60 , @LegendaryDude, how would you distinguish the official Mark As Dupe vs. the unofficial (but very traditional) comment "related: xyz question link"?

Shalvenay

Hey there.

how're things going?

[wave]

3:49 AM

Going alright. Looking at dungeon design tutorials.

Setting up physical places to explore is one thing that I'm not great at as a GM.

Shalvenay

ah.

my problem is trying to set things up in a way that's not too labor-intensive

trogdor

mine is not trying to set things in stone

or at least accidentally doing something like that

Shalvenay

basically, not overdesigning dungeons to the point where they're...not dungeon-y any longer :P

(i.e. something that comes off designed like a modern building in terms of floorplanning/circulation and such)

trogdor

I try to set things up so that the PC's have choices, but also so that they do specific things XD

Shalvenay

it's a thematic schism I think more than anything else

trogdor

3:57 AM

it ends up invariably with me improvising most of what happens based off of them almost immediately going off of the rails that I didn't truly prepare to be gotten off of

CTWind

@Shalvenay Hello!

Shalvenay

my instincts when it comes to "how do I lay out a building?" are that of an engineer...and that sort of layout is anathema to the ethos of a classical dungeon crawl

@CTWind how're thing's going?

CTWind

@Shalvenay Good! Just got back from a game. (5e campaign based on Princes of the Apocalypse)

Shalvenay

@CTWind ah

Adeptus

@Shalvenay I've seen some guides to dungeon design that suggest thinking of it like a flowchart... build the logical connections, then work out how to represent them physically

Shalvenay

4:03 AM

@Adeptus yeah, that's not the problem -- I get the circulations right; in fact, I think the problem is that I get them too right

BESW

@JuneShores What's the sort of problem you run into? Got an example?

Shalvenay

the layout is almost too obvious -- no dead ends, no cruft if you will

serious shortage of dark corners :P

it's like trying to hold a dungeon crawl in a modern high rise office building :P

JuneShores

@BESW Oh, I tend to just wing it. I have very little experience designing maps beforehand. So that's what I'm hoping to do, is to flesh out my aesthetic-based ideas into stuff that works in space without massaging in real time.

nitsua60

@Shalvenay Age it. Have a fault sever some hallways, or some cave-ins. Or layer different epochs of inhabitants: the original designers had a great place, but then a thousand years later the goblins living there needed ways to block off the section that was infested with crawlers. Maybe?

BESW

Interesting.

I try to start any design work with the Big 3+1 Questions: What is your game about? How does your game do this? How does your game encourage / reward this? How do you make this fun?

Shalvenay

4:08 AM

@nitsua60 yeah, I think that's where I fall down, because I kind of assume that even with a reused structure, people are going in and taking their time to an extent :P (i.e. they may repurpose spaces, but if they're actually doing changes to the structure, they're doing them correctly and not half-arsed-hackily)

JuneShores

@BESW Oooh. This will be useful. 'Cause, yeah, it's level design and level design is game design.

@Shalvenay This assumption seems demonstrably false, based on every wall I've ever torn into.

Shalvenay

4:17 AM

@nitsua60 hahaha

trogdor

yeah I don't think there are actually nearly enough people who are actually dedicated to following all the building codes for every dungeon to be really well designed and stay well maintained to boot

Shalvenay

@trogdor hahahaha

Adeptus

@trogdor Also... this is a medieval/renaissance fantasy setting. What building codes?

(Is that when you hide a secret message in the stonework?)

trogdor

that too, but he had already mentioned building medieval dungeons like modern buildings

@Adeptus lol

BESW

@Adeptus These building codes?

Adeptus

4:30 AM

@BESW ...yeah, okay. But thatched roofs and complaints from neighbours are usually not concerns in dungeon construction

BESW

True, I suspect an underground temple devoted to Asmodeus would have different kinds of codes, like rules about the minimum amount of blood the altar's drainage channels should be able to handle without clotting.

But do keep in mind D&D settings are dealing with entire pantheons dedicated to Law and Order. Construction regulations are probably a sacred rite in some places.

BESW

> A tunnel ought to be built with hard work, know-how, and the occasional bracing timber. If you try shoring it up with magic, bad things happen. Walls collapse and the entire tunnel gets de-stabilzed. And you never know when it'll be the wrong phase of the moon and the whole thing'll come down.
Like Dwarves. They'd dig out a mountain, and if the stone wouldn't hold, they'd just slap a spell on it. But the only way to keep it stable was to keep packing magic on, and eventually they couldn't hold it together, and they'd leave.

fectin

Digger is pretty great.

trogdor

Shalvenay

@BESW personally, I prefer remesh and shotcrete, but I'm partial to NATM for hard rock or a TBM in soft ground

@BESW I really need to read Digger some day

user15026

I have been reading her Hamster Princess books lately, they're pretty great

BESW

Yes, you do.

Hamster Princess is awesome.

And apparently Castle Hangnail has been optioned for a film.

user15026

My problem is finding the books

(yes, I know it's all online, I struggle with reading it that way)

BESW

That's fair.

user15026

But the books are hard to find :(

BESW

user15026

@BESW I can't justify the $45 they want for shipping :(

BESW

Ouch.

Free shipping from amazon?

BESW

My pleasure.

I read Byrony and Roses recently it was AMAZING

user15026

Digger pretty much exhausts my current book budget but it's worth it :)

BESW

It's a freaking doorstop of a book.

user15026

Excellent :D

@BESW That's pretty light for a wombat :P

@BESW Thats a lot of book. I'm going to have to get creative with shelf space :P

BESW

> [T]hese suckers have weight. They come in at four pounds apiece. You could club an intruder to death with one. (Ursula Vernon)

You're probably getting the softcover, so that's a little better.

Adeptus

For non-US people, Book Depository is often a better deal than Amazon - they have slightly higher item price but worldwide free shipping (but they don't seem to have Digger)

BESW

I used to use edwardrhamilton.com because they shipped everything media rate.

They sell used and remaindered books (mostly in perfect condition, they just sat on a store shelf unsold until the store decided to sell them cheap in bulk to Hamilton in order to get rid of them), so it's super cheap, and they ship media rate which means they charge a single flat shipping rate for every order no matter how big or heavy it is.

But they stopped shipping to Guam because the USPS changed how media rate works overseas.

user15026

5:24 AM

@Adeptus yeah, I often check there if Amazon.ca doesn't have things

user15026

and then I check Alibris for used copies because sometimes that works out too

user15026

but in this case, shipping was $7 which for a GIANT book all the way to me is acceptable :D

just saw your attempt to make a MLP rpg, and I am pretty sure this already exists

even if I'm not sure about its quality

(and making me hungry is not nice :( )

BESW

Mmm, there's plenty of bootleg MLP hacks, mostly using totally inappropriate engines like the d20 System. And there's an official MLP RPG in the works (announced just a week or two ago).

But my vision, for several years, has been very focused on some very specific themes and values which it's unlikely even the official game will really spotlight--just because it needs to appeal to the lowest common denominator, and that means D&Ding it up with trying to be all things for all players and in the process failing to do any one thing really well.

June's been working on their own RPG focused on supporting the pacing and structure of short-form cartoon serials like Steven Universe, Adventure Time, Samurai Jack, etc.

Their focus on structure rather than content will mesh nicely with my focus on theme and message rather than setting and plot.

Anne Aunyme

10:19 AM

I see

the thing I was thinking about was a system involving different competences, and when you had to face a challenge you had to combine competences from different characters

and you had these "friendship points" you could spend to give generic bonus to people

but yeah, there wasn't really a good handle of relationships between characters, just a general "friendship score" which means how good a friend you are

anyway, if you come up with something I would be glad to beta-test it :)

Aaron

So the Mapforge link is pulling spam or it's cause the answers are so alike?

Patta

-> It's a bit easier to do with roll20, which I like.

Aaron

yea I like roll20.

Patta

I would guess he's affiliated with MapForge in some way without disclosing it

LegendaryDude

2:15 PM

@Aaron A little of column A, a little of column B. We have a spam detector.

Roll20's map making tools are okay, but I don't like the way the content library works.

I find it too difficult to find the specific things I'm looking for.

Patta

Yea, I can see that. It is irritating....

Which is why I create all my tokens myself :D

LegendaryDude

On the other hand the dynamic lighting and LoS stuff is awesome, you can't get that on a real table top.

Patta

Yes, I love that. I ran a pathfinder dungeon crawl campaign that way once. It was awesome

and took way to long until I was happy with the dungeons themselves :D

Aaron

Yea I loved the dynamic lighting when I was DMing

Adam

@Patta Same. I end up just usually taking pictures from the internet, or from the books and creating little circle tokens for them.

Aaron

2:18 PM

I dislike Roll20s character sheets though.

They feel... scattered

Patta

In what way?

I mean, it also depends on the way they are implemented. I created my own for Splittermond, and it works really well

If you know your way around html and css, it's awesome.

Aaron

I use a google sheet someone made and everything I need is on one page and I rarely need to look at the 'background pages' while on the roll20 sheet I have to flip through the tabs constantly

Patta

As long as you don't want to have too many fancy things, at least :D

Then use a non-tabbed charsheet, if one exists :D

(I get that that's not always an option :D)

But yea, Google Docs works really well, too

Aaron

I haven't seen one. I like to have a 'main tab' with background tabs you only visit when leveling up or building a character

Patta

For what system?

I have seen them for TDE and Savage Worlds, and saw some others that I did never use... They definitely exist, but only for certain systems :D

LegendaryDude

2:22 PM

For map making software for printable maps I use CC3+

I can't google that atm, what does the CC stand for?

It's a very powerful tool

It doesn't work at all like Photoshop or GIMP, so it tends to turn a lot of new people off

Patta

@Aaron the only available (english) pathfinder sheet seems to be a single tab...

github.com/Roll20/roll20-character-sheets/tree/master/…

Aaron

@Patta I'm not sure where you're getting that from but the one we use in our game is the default one I think and it's riddled with tabs. Unless they did yet another update to the sheet.

Is that the built in sheet that you get when you select pathfinder as your game on Roll20?

Oh, looking at the preview that is nothing like our sheet

I LIKE that sheet, it's nice and neatly formatted.

Patta

2:32 PM

don't think it is the default one, I did not even know that Roll20 has a deffault one :D

We used the german version of that one in the dungeon crawl game I mentioned, and it works really well

In general, the charsheet github repo is great:

github.com/Roll20/roll20-character-sheets

Aaron

Yea, when you start up a game you select what system you're using and when you make character sheets for players it uses a default sheet for the system you selected.

At least that's how I understand it works when I DMed last. It's been awhile since I have, about a year at least.

Probably two

Patta

Last time I checked, there was a dropdown that was prefilled with the default sheet for certain games (pathfinder, DnD mainly) but you could select different ones

LegendaryDude

@Patta That is indeed how it works.

Aaron

Hmm. I might see if everyone is willing to switch sheets. Might be a bit of work but these sheets look a lot better. Do they allow you to auto calc rolls and make buttons you can click to roll things like full attacks and such?

LegendaryDude

(currently)

Aaron

2:35 PM

Macros is the word I was looking for I think.

LegendaryDude

@Aaron I'm not certain you can switch sheets for a game that you've already created.

@Aaron The sheets don't do that, but IIRC you can create macro buttons which can be anchored to your screen which do key off of fields on the character sheet

(It's been a while since I actually used Roll20 for online play; mostly just use it to project maps onto the table)

Aaron

Hmm. Alrighty

Thanks :)

poop. I hate when the answer isn't what I want lol

I was hoping Vestigial arms would give extra natural attacks

Patta

3:00 PM

@LegendaryDude You actually can, without a problem. The old data might get lost, though... It is very likely to get lost, in fact

A: What are the planes of D&D 4e? Where did they come from, and how are they connected?

There are several fundamental planes: the Astral Sea, the Elemental Chaos, the Mortal World, and the World's two echoes: the Feywild (from which the Eladrin came), and the Shadowfell. And then there's Sigil, the city of doors, a plane which doesn't quite fit in anywhere and may not rightly exist ...

4e's gods live in the Astral Plane, mostly, unless their particular domains require some other domicile.

Skyler

Hmm...sigil is interesting

I was playing with the idea of some pocket dimension tied to something like the astral plane

BESW

@Skyler That's pretty much what 4e does: planet-like subrealms floating in the Astra Sea, each with their own qualities according to the god(s) they host.

Skyler

I guess I mean a subpocket
