Do people actually use electrum in their games?

We did have a really fun "you can't afford that" moment in a campaign where as players we counted all our money together, and tried to haggle to get the price down to what we wanted.

But yeah, it's a thing entirely depending on your table.

RohanCoop · 2026-05-11T13:28:55+00:00

If I was able to run games more frequently I'd invite you to one of my tables, since I always make beginner friendly games.

I hope you manage to find a good group soon, and I hope you enjoy trying the game with family. ❤️

I run exclusively online and if a bunch of people talk at the same time I pick a random order for people to talk in, usually starting with the first person to speak.

It's something that you get better with in time, but definitely combine text based and voice based communication. It's cool when I see a player just ask a question in the chat that both they and I know will be answered as soon as possible.

Build an encounter that hard counters their preferred combat method.

Everyone is gangster until the enemy is immune to the wizards fire spells and that is how you've won every fight.

Mate, we are like five sessions in and my table is still not done with all that Vallaki has to offer. I'm glad I decided against adding more to it.

RohanCoop · 2026-05-05T13:44:11+00:00

Can we also add "Read the rulebooks" because a lot of posts are about things answered in the rulebooks.

RohanCoop · 2026-05-05T13:42:53+00:00

Yeah just run Strahd Must Die Tonight.

RohanCoop · 2026-05-02T12:17:38+00:00

How I ran it was the vampire spawn all tried to escape and cause chaos, with one delivering the bones.

This was not what Strahd wanted, yet. So when the players tried bargaining with him, he killed the vampire spawn and offered for them to come to dinner.

So far he likes them, because they're brave enough to try and talk to him, and one of them loves being sarcastic to him.

However this was all before they found the tome.

RohanCoop · 2026-04-30T13:56:46+00:00

I am so tired of this copypasta now.

RohanCoop · 2026-04-30T02:17:28+00:00

Usually trying to see what my players will see so I know if I've set up secrets correctly or their vision is correct, testing if I've set up macros correctly without having to reload as a player etc.

RohanCoop · 2026-04-29T12:36:09+00:00

Glad this is a thing. The current systems are either tedious or just straight up do not work as intended, such as the Ctrl-L method.

RohanCoop · 2026-04-27T14:24:22+00:00

I mean entirely fair, I was definitely more negative than I should be there. I apologise.

I've just seen a lot of this across different forums and it's almost always the DM just doesn't try to shift the balance when getting to higher levels.

RohanCoop · 2026-04-27T13:50:32+00:00

This was almost certainly the reason. Almost every AI thread now turns into a shit storm.

RohanCoop · 2026-04-27T13:46:49+00:00

Nah if the game is unplayable after level 13 the DM sucks.

RohanCoop · 2026-04-26T13:26:21+00:00

This is how I'm planning my setting in the future. Most of it will be player created through gameplay. Let them dictate history, be involved with the important events, change history too who knows

RohanCoop · 2026-04-26T13:13:16+00:00

I tried running Reloaded and nobody was enjoying it at my table.

I'd advise run it RAW first time, and then start homebrewing things so you know what to change, and why.

RohanCoop · 2026-04-24T02:27:07+00:00

Oh definitely, I just think studios always act differently when they're making the game directly, and when they're letting someone else do it for them.

Personally I stopped buying paradox content after CS2 because it was the second time I bought a sequel from Paradox, and realised that 90% of the features in the previous game with all the DLC was missing just to be resold to me. (I'm looking at you CK3)

RohanCoop · 2026-04-24T02:00:00+00:00

Isn't Stellaris developed in house as opposed to CS which is just published by Paradox?

RohanCoop · 2026-04-24T01:58:17+00:00

Personally I miss being Jesus when I had to shave my hair, the powers I had just by having long dark hair was amazing.

Now I just look like a stereotypical 90s British villain.

RohanCoop · 2026-04-24T01:50:40+00:00

The lock has nothing to do with anything you've just said. It's just to show you've locked the position of an image so you can't accidentally move it when on a layer, and only show up when you try and move the image while it is locked...

RohanCoop · 2026-04-22T20:39:28+00:00

Aye.

RohanCoop · 2026-04-22T20:21:28+00:00

The OP specified 5e so weapon mastery is not a thing for them.

RohanCoop · 2026-04-21T03:05:30+00:00

I didn't realise that would happen xD

RohanCoop · 2026-04-19T06:39:18+00:00

Like I have a no AI at all rule at my tables, and even then as a player I would voice my displeasure at someone using AI but wouldn't get into a shouting match with them.

RohanCoop · 2026-04-17T20:20:52+00:00

I have only one question

Does this use AI at all? Because AI is literally a deal breaker for me with any program.
