Back in 2020 I spent some time making a flow chart for D&D combat without leaving anything out.

I find it both amazing and terrifying. I honestly wonder how people manage to play this (myself included).

I made a high-level flow chart to help my players with Savage Worlds / Savage Pathfinder combat at a typical level of mental abstraction.

TTRPG Suggestions / Knowledge wanted:

I'm looking for suggestions for TTRPGs that use card decks to indicate what you've discovered, encountered, etc. Doesn't have to be a required thing for the game. Just any game with an example of this that's fun to interact with. For an example of the kind of thing i'm talking about, here's the Mutant: Year Zero Card Deck.

Updated my profile header to be a picture of my main RPG bookshelf. Not so much trying for "geek cred" as OMG SQUEE 🤗 I LOVE RPGs! 💕 LET'S CHAT ABOUT ANY OF THESE! Or, better yet, Let's play!

you know, just in case you need another player for that one-shot or... whatever.

TIL there was a “not Gerry” on the Misdirected Mark podcast … who was this strange “Todd” person and what happened to them?!

her best friend is a rat who lived in the walls of a church and was accidentally "awakened" by a very drunk human (normal sized) cleric who was very confused as to why his spell "didn't work".

Also of note, is that she's the _worst_ character to be attacked physically. Owing to a desperate encounter with a hawk that was carrying her off to be dinner (she's ~9cm tall) she is physically weak as 💩 (permanently). Good w/ magic, but has essentially no hope of physically fighting off anything.

she was yanked backwards, slamming to the ground, while being pulled rapidly towards the mist.

She yelled out "Les!" (the name of her best friend and companion) with her arm stretched out towards him.

And that's where I ended the session.

From the GM perspective, I didn't want to disrupt their happy evening, but i had a huge Doom Pool that needed to be spent. ;)

Last night, the gang came across an abandoned mill building that was fortuitously dry. They even found dry wood to build a fire. For the first time in days, spirits were lifted.

Late in the night, my favorite character was sitting watch, looking out the doorway with the fire to her back. She noticed a thick mist covering the ground, and then a tentacle starting to snake it's way out of it. Before she could do anything it shot out, grabbed her ankle....

without exaggeration, this may be the best visualization of a dwarven underground city that I've ever seen. From "The Weekly Roll" ch. 116. https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/the-weekly-roll/ch-116-grimdahls-folly/viewer?title_no=358889&episode_no=118

I browse with the DarkReader plugin turned on (so much easier on my eyes). Sometimes a site doesn't handle it well. Sometimes, it looks... odd and I wonder what the "real" version looks like. I just encountered the latter.

The screenshot with the Grey background was what i saw with DarkReader. The Yellow is what i saw when I turned it off. Holy 💩 Batman! TURN IT BACK ON!!!!

#CSS advice needed:

I’m looking for a CSS “framework” / tool / whatever with the following attributes and hoping some of you might be able to point me to some good candidates:

* responsive
* stupid simple
* semantic class names. not things like t3 :poop:
* small
* doesn’t try to do everything (i just care about layout and basic styling)
* doesn’t rely on accessibility breaking conventions
* bonus points for currently maintained

I got up at ~5 AM because my brain couldn't stop thinking about an RPG related idea that it either brilliant or stupid. Currently seeking outside confirmation.

It'd cost $$$ and be a non-trivial commitment, but it'd make >= 500 people happy and has a high probability of paying for itself on the long tail. I'm just not sure how long the tail is or how much the initial cost would be (time or money).

My homemade dice tower is finally complete!
