I’d love a go at Crown and Skull by Runehammer. It looks really interesting. I’d like to play it before I run it and, frankly, just don’t have the time.

I am!

I gave my opinions about it here: https://youtu.be/_v-jnQCTZ1Q?si=yOklCEzs4gkqg4n1

Here’s some data on the topic!

Question: This is a poll for D&D DMs and RPG GMs. Do you primarily play online or in person?

YouTube poll posted 18 April 2023 on YouTube, 2,900 respondents.

Response % of total Primarily online 41% Primarily in person 46% Both roughly equally 13%

Also some advice for in person maps:

Awesome stuff! The one thing I’d consider adding are some random names. They’re the number one improv tool.

I don’t see anything in here about them removing the art.

As a guy who used Twitter extensively for more than a decade and had over 40k followers, I can tell you it went from a great place to promote one’s RPG work to a terrible place just about overnight back in 2020 or so – just about the time users focused on algorithmic sorting of tweets over the timeline.

I was lucky to get 400 people to click a link and maybe one would buy something. Engagement was shot.

Luckily I found the social media platform of the future – email! It’s a network I control, can move to the service of my choice, and lets me directly connect with those who expressed interest in what I make.

I’m glad I started building up my email list a few years ago. It takes time but it’s worth it.

I feel like a lot of creators on Twitter simply can’t let go even though the network isn’t the same as all anymore.

Awesome! Thank you!

WHO DARES SUMMON ME!

I think they’d work fine. You found the icons on gameicons?

These are awesome!!

Regardless of motivation, spending the money to translate the 5.1 SRD into four languages and then putting it out into the CC opens up a lot of expansion of 5e into other countries and people who never would otherwise play. And it does so regardless of what WOTC does in the future. It’s prudent that we don’t trust WOrC. With this out there, we don’t have to trust them.

I just played Shadowdark and my players and I found it refreshingly simple to play. I did a video about it here:

Yay! Thank you!

I really didn’t know anything about Lemmmy. Things are moving fast. I did mention Mastodon, blogs, podcasts, and rss feeds.
