Too much traffic I think.

I'll check it out

Sure, lets give it a try. I am indeed using 3.5 turbo. 4 is a bit more expensive (like 10x)

You bet! I just wrote a mastodon bot that posts new posts from here.

Great idea! I'll add it right now and it'll be up and running tomorrow.

Thanks so much! It's actually a pretty exciting time with the Mastodons and Lemmys and blogs and podcasts!

I also resurrected https://dndblogs.com as a way to bring blogs back together again.

That guys going places

I’m hoping to try it after our Scarlet Citadel game.

You can still have an evolving story happen and it’s not about the player building that story. But the story results from the choices they make in the situation you present.

I wrote up my best tips from a wide range of DMs here:

If I had to have just one it’d be:

Be a fan of the characters. Be on their side. Focus your prep around them. Help them look awesome. Avoid “gotchas” that characters would have picked up on but players missed.

Yay! Thank you!

Welcome behind the DM screen!!

Welcome to the hobby!!

Enjoy!

Love it!

My own groups are trying out the luck system from Tales of the Valiant and like it so far. It's extra bookkeeping but has some fun options and makes a series of bad rolls work out much better. As a GM, I like it a lot because I don't have to keep track of it at all. It's all player-managed.

See Playtest Packet 2 in the playtest packets on https://www.talesofthevaliant.com

Awesome!

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

Thanks for the post!
