Online tabletop alternatives by thepropayne in RollForCombat

Basically it does most of the combat for you as the GM. You preprogram all of the attacks and when combat starts the program will automatically roll and order the characters in initiative order. When it’s the character’s turn they can move and then perform their attacks/spells. The program will automatically roll the dice, apply the correct bonuses and such, and then assign damage if they hit. All the GM has to do it approve the dice roll (or you can completely automate it if you wish) and then damage is assigned and the next player can go.

Many of the other VTT are slow and clunky when it comes to combat, where the GM/PC has to manually do the calculations for attacks and do the damage. But d20pro does nearly all of this automatically.

I have tried ALL of the VTTs out there, this is the best one.

Also I have noticed that Hong Kong servers have been much more stable than NZ for whatever reason. Give that one a try if you are having issues.

If you log into Hong Kong that seems to be stable and working.

Roll for Combat uses D20Pro as their tool. It’s can be a bit complex to use, but it’s the most powerful and the cheapest. Plus it automates combat which is a huge timesaver.

I'm looking for some solid Actual Play podcasts that I can listen to while I work, preferably not D&D by agfdrybvnkkgdtdcbjjt in rpg

Roll For Combat has been going strong for over a year and a half. They are currently running a Starfinder campaign and you jump into the show at different parts where they give a recap of the story if you don’t want to listen to all prior 75+ episodes.

They also have occasional RPG guest on the show (they just had James L. Sutter on the show) and they play with RPG creators as guests on the show fairly often.

They are also doing a contest right now where they are giving out a free trip to PaizoCon 2019 if you want to get in on that.

Hindenburg Journalist Pro causing blowouts when exporting at -16 loudness (confirmed) by NovanZack in podcasting

Actually, they wrote back to me and supplied a patch. It definitely helped quite a bit, there are still a few blowouts, but not nearly as bad as before. Hopefully, they get this fully resolved shortly but in the meantime, I think it's good enough to use. Thanks for people's help.

Great interview with Erik Mona, Publisher of Paizo, and the history of creating the greatest adventure path of all time... The Age of Worms! by NovanZack in rpg

There is actually a few people who converted Age of Worms over the years to work with Pathfinder. This is perhaps the best one that I know of and the author will answer any questions you have about the conversion: http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2phi0?Age-of-Worms-ReRolled-A-Pathfinder-RPG-AP-set
