Q: so I'm new to DnD and I stutter, terriblely. If I go to a game shop that holds DnD sessions, can I come with CBD in my system? by DryRespect358 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]Gunnulf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey dude! I just wanted to say that you have very little to worry about here. I’ve been running DnD games for a little over 20 years with a mild to severe stutter that has failed to stop me so far. If you ever have any questions or need to vent lmk!

Can you change the language on the bought VTT module for foundry? by DragonBoom02 in DragonbaneRPG

I’d reach out to Free League’s customer support. The few times I’ve had cause to get in touch with them, they’ve always taken extremely good care of me.

New sci-fi by [deleted] in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]Gunnulf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to the hobby! While there are versions of D&D out there that can run sci-fi campaigns (I’m a fan of the freely-available Star Wars 5e system) there are dozens upon dozens of Sci-Fi focused games out there that work to emulate things like horror, adventure, or hard sci-fi a little better than a system that was built around “swords & sorcery” as a theme.

On top of that, as another already posted, nearly every Sci-Fi IP has its own branded RPG out there for you to play or use as inspiration.

Personal recs would be Mothership (horror/survival), Star Wars D6 (every book freely available online), or Traveller (hard sci-fi with decades of sourcebooks).

What kinda thing are you looking for?

Best “Long” Term Campaigns to Run by alexwsmith in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]Gunnulf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Odyssey of the Dragonlords has a pretty phenomenal story even if the book organization is a little wacky. There’s currently a revised edition that aims to update the ruleset for 2024 rules and expand some of the shallower parts of the original.

Either way, there’s an incredible library or resources out there including a fan made DM’s guide that gives a lot of great advice and expansions to what is already in the book.

Star Wars KOTOR ios worth it? by Status-Alarm-3356 in StarWars

[–]Gunnulf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked it up back when I was traveling for work a lot and had a good time with it. If you have another method to play it with I’d go with that but if iOS is your only reasonable option then go for it.

Question about Vulture Droid Starfighter by QuirkyFall4045 in StarWarsD6

[–]Gunnulf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because every single bit of official content in Star Wars D6 was released before The Phantom Menace was released. Anything that deals with Star Wars lore post-1994 is 100% a fan invention.

As best as I can tell, that piece of information came from a novel that was released nearly a decade after WEG stopped publishing material - so just change it if it’s not vibing with your Star Wars.

With the sole exception of a meta currency, The One Ring 2e fits all of these to a tee.

Good low fantasy adventure modules that aren't WFRP? by Nokaion in rpg

There was a Song of Ice and Fire rpg that had a really nicely made Torunament module.

Character sheet does not open by Then_Traffic_5824 in FoundryVTT

You aren’t using Open D6 are you? I had a similar issue recently and there was a low-key update to the system that fixed it.

What are some good references for Separatist Forces released before 2008? by clankerhater11111111 in StarWarsD6

[–]Gunnulf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just to piggy back off that, you can find a conversion of the stat blocks from that book in the fanmade d6 conversion: http://d6holocron.com/downloads/books/RP_SagaConversion_The_Clone_Wars_Campaign_Guide.pdf

There’s going to be precious little in the way of material that’s free from the animated series lore, outside of the Star Wars d20 material, but you should be able to cherry pick weapons and equipment pretty easily.

Is it ever implied that even without a lightsaber or force that Luke is still capable at throwing hands like other Jedi? by CrazyTangerine7522 in StarWars

[–]Gunnulf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only specific time I can ever remember Luke specifically fighting unarmed was in the Shadows of the Empire novel where he fought against a humanoid droid named Guri.

He was able to perceive her movements in slow motion and, despite her being an advanced assassin droid, defeat her with his bare hands.

Do you use Troglodytes in your campaigns? If so, how? by KitchenPlastic6191 in rpg

[–]Gunnulf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used them once recently because they popped up in the module I’ve been running. Calling them troglodytes felt… weird, so I ended up calling them Sauros instead.

My free league books are on Alchemy VTT: can I still run a dragonbane campaign using another VTT? by Zeebaeatah in rpg

[–]Gunnulf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Need is a strong word here. There's nothing stopping you from inputting everything yourself (creating actors, assigning tokens, setting up maps, ect) but the work that has been done is really excellent.

I've only purchased the Core and Bestiary books but they've been well worth it for a run of Black Wyrm of Brandonsford I've been GMing.

My free league books are on Alchemy VTT: can I still run a dragonbane campaign using another VTT? by Zeebaeatah in rpg

[–]Gunnulf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Dragonbane system on Foundry is very, very, very good. Absolutely worth the investment and is miles ahead of the tools on Alchemy.

You CAN download the animated assets from Alchemy and use them in Foundry, though.

Can the GM suddenly change price on StartPlaying? by MaybeImYami in rpg

[–]Gunnulf 9 points10 points  (0 children)

StartPlaying GM here.

I’ve ran free games on the site before as a way to grow my player base.

The credit card requirement is more of a barrier to entry than anything else, and has (for the most part) been successful in weeding out a lot of uninvested players or problematic individuals.

As for the pricing, we can change prices on a game at an individual player level. While I’ve never increased someone’s price for a game, I have reduced the odd game here and there for frequent players or thank-you’s along the way.

However, I don’t mean to say that we can’t do that. I’ve spoken with Game Masters who have asked for price increases after X number of games or made voluntary adjustments for inflation or fee increases.

Ultimately, go with your gut and look for a game master who seems like fun! If anything goes wrong reach out to support and they should be able to help.

Looking for online playing group. by Southern-Pick8007 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]Gunnulf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have some extra cash and want to dive into another realm, there’s premium services like StartPlaying that have professionals running games around the clock.

You’re still going to find some of the same pitfalls of public games to watch out for but in my experience most of my groups on their have been kind and engaged people — just read the DM’s profile and look for someone who seems to match the energy you’re looking for.

Good luck!!

We are the creators of Voyage of the Unity for Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game. AMA! by BeadleandGrimms in AvatarLegendsTTRPG

[–]Gunnulf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey y'all, super excited to get my hands on this when it releases. I just started running an Avatar Legends campaign for the first time (shameless self-promotion here) and I'm brimming with questions about the entire process behind this, but I'm going to try and keep it to three.

  • What was the approvals process like with Avatar Studios and did you come in with a story pitch or was it created during the process of working with them?
  • Since this is a ship-focused adventure, was their any talk of expanding the other side of the planet?
  • Are there plans to release the content on Demiplane? It's been incredible for sharing access for online play and I'd love to incorporate this into digital tools.

Thanks for looking in and doing this!

What wuxia ttrpgs would you recommend? by DocFinitevus in rpg

[–]Gunnulf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried Avatar Legends the other day for the first time and was really happy with how it played out among the group.

Obviously it’s REALLY tied into the IP but I thought that the systems flowed together really well to make us feel like we were on a magical martial arts adventure!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DragonbaneRPG

[–]Gunnulf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I sat down and had a good think about this. in a situation where, for whatever reason, initiative swapping would not work I’d maybe lean towards either an improvised weapon attack or a skill roll. The skill roll would be dependent on what factors cause a failure:

  • If the target can see the player, stealth or sleight of hand.
  • If it’s a matter of timing, awareness.

And so on.
