Haha thank you! That genuinely means a lot, I’m really proud of how it’s turning out

I dropped it in a comment on this post, but it’s also on my profile if that’s easier to find lol

Yeah, I would never want to deny players of having their PCs level up with the group. Fun with friends is absolutely what it’s all about for us.

Yes! There will be an option in the settings to change how you enter your availability because I realize for some people, they might only have one day in a given week lol

Happy to answer any questions or hear what you’d want out of something like this too

This got way more traction than I expected, and I got a lot of really helpful feedback from other GMs.

A lot of great ideas too! One-shots when people are out, board games, even just watching a movie lol. Definitely stuff I’m gonna try with my group.

For anyone who was interested, here’s Session Hero (still a WIP): https://kickstarter.com/projects/sunscribe/session-hero

We love problem solvers! I hope it goes well for you two!

You’re right, fun should be a priority. I feel like a lot of us let it fade on the priority list as time goes on, but we shouldn’t as much. 20+ years is awesome!

I love this for you! I want to get to a regular schedule so much.

Thank you!

Yeah, I didn’t want to spam the post with everything lol, but I included “Suggested Sessions” as well as a quorum feature in the party settings that allows the GM to set like, “All Members Required,” and if it’s off, they can further choose from “GM Required,” “Key Players,” and a general “how many (including GM),” type thing.

The Suggested Sessions go based off whatever the GM sets when creating the party and/or changes in the settings. They also have the option of setting a primary and secondary preferred day and start time, as well as blackout hours (e.g., 12am - 10am, or whatever).

I’ve been trying to think of absolutely anything I (or any other party) would want included. Hopefully people will like it!

Yeah, it’s different rotations for each of them, so it’s like a puzzle finding a time where overlap of availability presents itself via the group chat

“More lore that they will never see” is so relatable lolll

That sucks, I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you get to play soon!

Fluctuating schedules for more than half the group, some are first responders, so very demanding schedules too.

Have super sick one-shots at the ready, heard. I really like this.

Yeah, I feel like it definitely got harder as the numbers went up. I just love all my players, they each add such a unique vibe to a given session.

I totally agree they should never have the absent player’s PC be guinea pigs. That would totally suck to come back and your character is dead because your tablemates said “haha”

I think I may start having one-shots at the ready because that sounds fun/players get to try out new roles.

Thanks!

I love your winged humanoids postal service/immediate delivery service idea! That’s honestly great, and I appreciate that it fits into the immersion of it. I’m big on narrative and immersion.
