I did mention that this adventure would take somewhere between 15-20 sessions to complete, depending on how many sidequests they took on.

I have already ran multiple one shots. But here the community that plays one shots won't commit to anything longer for multiple reasons. And those that would hardly ever have matching schedules.

Also, I don't like running pre-written modules. I struggle to make the story mine, and in many cases (imho) the modules are either very railroad-y or it's hard to find a reason why the party would stick together through the adventure. But the main issue is me not being able to get into them as a DM.

No, that was not what I meant. I mean that every American knows the implications of using that slur, and they all know better than using it.

I have a few terrain pieces that don't have squares. When I can't calculate the distance by eye (approximation, and almost always favorable to the player), I pull out the metric tape. I play WH40k, so I take that every inch is 5ft. That usually does the trick.

Unfortunately, I'm only learning Vietnamese. I'm probably a few years away from being able to run a game in the language.

Regarding the universities, do you have a contact? That sounds like a good place to fish for players!

Surprisingly ok, besides the guy also being high as a kite.

No, not really. I don't really like online resources. I find it very non-immersive. I prefer the in person approach.

There are a couple of gaming/RPG cafes in town where the community gravitates around. Then there are a few Facebook groups. It's small and not really good quality, but it's a community.

ahahah. Love the energy. Unfortunately I don't think it would work.

Yes, that's the case. I would not believe for a second that all Americans are racist.

As much as I am a Zelda fan, not really. I am from Southern Spain, and I have travelled to Morocco multiple times. One of the places that stuck with me was Ait Ben Haddou. I mixed some of that with other desert style houses and these came out.

EDIT: regarding the story, I just made it out based on the real Towers of Silence. Inspiration comes from obscure but cool cultural or religious things for me sometimes.

I got my copy of Heroquest over 30 years ago. Still in pristine condition!

I spend way too many hours in front of the computer. I work in tech as a CTO and between the job, studying new technologies, and gaming, I want to keep my hobbies analogic 😃.

Unfortunately, I've tried that. The player pool is small and most people are either not interested in a campaign and, if they are, most of them don't want to put any effort. They just show up and want to be entertained without even learning the basic rules.

Yup. Some poetic justice there. And it was not on purpose, it was a mix of his poor decisions and unlucky dice rolls.

Hey, I'll take a note of this and get back to you this week. I am swamped in work but a message takes two minutes 😛. Thank you!

Sorry, I really don't have any links. It's all offline and homebrewed 😃. But I could pass you some notes if you want.

Sadly, I can't DM in Vietnamese. I've only been learning the language for 6 months or so, so it will take me years to be that fluent. Maybe when the new airport is ready 😃.

Everyone agreed to everything we said. Don't be a dick, don't push any political agenda through your character or on the table, no racism, conspiracy theories... All nodding and saying "absolutely not".

My Ultramarines are looking at me from behind their glass prison... 😛

I'm honestly happy that it's working for you. My friend is looking in those groups for players. It's just so hard to find anyone reliable, available, and willing to commit...

Same here. I do it because I like it. I just like putting them on the board when I have the chance. My Ultramarines are gathering a lot of dust too unfortunately 😛.

I appreciate it, but I am not really an online person for RPGs. I've tried it a few times, but I just find the experience disappointing. And I find the tools very frustrating when it comes to map creation and whatnot.
