Hm, interesting, I'll take a proper look tomorrow. I'm expecting that foundry only has srd available. That's another annoying thing.

Honestly, there's a lot of great answers in this thread. Personally, I'd love to see a FOSS ttrpg manager. Talking a complete library of monsters, races, classes, etc., along with an optimized pipeline for homebrewed stuff. Tools for encounter, battlemap, NPC and campaign flow creation.

Closest thing is 5e Companion App but it doesn't have a PC client, isn't FOSS, has a lot of weird limitations and UX/UI issues (like multiclassing could be simpler, and its really frustrating that you can't level down a character after all the work you did, forcing you to do it all over again just to change classes and spells). Also DnD next but getting source books for a whole player session is expensive.

Question, I'm not techy enough to know anything about jellyfin other than it probably is similar to kodi, which I used briefly but ended up using Stremio instead.

Do you need to download your library? Or can you browse through repositories?

There are refillable vapes that aren't that size. Though you do throw away the coil/juice container.

Haven't seen one of em biguns in a while.

Wdym? They also smile weirdly at the least appropriate times. They got that serial killer grin.

Smack dab average, honestly. Within my carreer and special interests I'm knowledgeable, and I speak three (four if you're generous) languages, i've learnt complex skills by myself as well, but give me anything numerical and I will choke. I'm also horrible at reading the room or social cues. I've also done some real stupid decisions before out of pride/stubbornness, and if that ain't stupid I dunno what is.

Commenting so I can read them when they post it. Meds don't always work.

Just a quick update. We had our first session yesterday. It was a little rough at first, everyone talking over each other but ae rolled for initiative for interactions out of combat, and everything after went without a hitch. Except the boss fight, I had some real bad rolls and my players put the aberrations down without taking a single hit. Still, they had fun, and I had fun. Owlbear was fine, it did the job. Wish it communicated heights better but, eh, making the maps in rimworld probably didn't help.

Thanks for the help! I quite like being a DM.

Hm, I hadn't thought of that possibility, honestly. I'll look into it, thanks!

Thanks for the info! I had seen those before. This is the second time we try to get into dnd (it'd be our first game), and I tried to use Roll20 before. It was a little overwhelming, between not knowing the first thing about dnd and a poor UI (to me). We chose owlbear because of its simplicity, if my guys don't feel like dnd is for them, we didn't spend too much time or any money on software.

Next campaign though, I'd like to try roll20. If I end up rolling lowest and get stuck with DMing again.

This is all extremely useful info, thanks! I want to implement something like this, because I feel like it would help my guys roleplay. It's the first time we ever do ttrpg, and I'd like to give them every help I can get.

Hm, alright, thanks! Think I'll use a spreadsheet. If I use notes I'll end up making a huge mess.

Huh, interesting. Thanks! How do you keep track of health? I was using Owlbear's character text window but, well, I think I'll adopt that system you mentioned.

I'm just starting to DM, do you disclose how much HP creatures have to your players? Just did a combat sim with my guys last week to see if we understood the combat system and that probably affected how they played.

Yeah. For a while I thought about upgrading to a desk mic and semi open headphones, but after looking at my desk, yeah, having a mic in front of me would be hella uncomfortable. Not to mention, I'd probably knock it over accidentally and fuck it up within a month.

There's plenty of ease of use with headphones though, I got a pair of sennheiser gaming headphones and flipping up to mute is convenient.

Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl. If you were too lazy to trek back to Cordon after deactivating the miracle machine (I think), you couldn't get the true ending without abusing glitches and bugs.

Really? Damn, all dogs I've ever had were very vocal about everything. Might've been the breed ig.

That's what I was most worried about, i'd heard that it hogged resources. Thanks for the info! I'll look up if the softwares I use for work are natively compatible.

I'm not as techy as people around lemmy. Some time has gone by since W11 got released, what do you think of it?
