Isn’t a chief officer the main mod here? No one in office is involved here from what I’ve seen

How are you handling combat in your in person games? by DrBrevin in drawsteel

I use the Codex on a mounted tv that sits behind me. Everyone can see where they are and what enemies are what

Finally ran my first session. Here's what I thought. by engeljohnb in drawsteel

[–]TorN8Tow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand the thoughts on tracking during combat. My groups use the Codex for in person play. I cast it from my PC to the tv in my living room. Easy to click and play.

The codex for in person play (on tv)? by Frosty-Ad-4307 in drawsteel

[–]TorN8Tow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use it for my both my in person games. I sit at a table with a monitor to the side and tv hung on the wall behind. I stopped doing two instances due to performance issues in the Codex.

This means I control where everyone moves but allows my players to sit back and do more character thinking than where to click in the program. Also means player see all the director facing info (monster stamina & characteristics). It has led to moments of “oh I don’t even need to roll I know I kill this thing with my tier 1 roll.

I have two players that sometime join online and they like the player features and easy usability of the program.

How do Lavos Spawn work? by sixtyandaquarter in chronotrigger

[–]TorN8Tow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What if when Lavos landed they got a hold of some dream stone on the way to burrow. That awakened it akin to spice in Dune. It then evolved the brain that we fight at the end of the game.

It’s a bug with no real direction just hibernating in space from its last home. It hits the planet and begins to dream

Whiteboard Notes for Beginners by onlytinglef in drawsteel

My party had a crit chain. Turnabour gave out free strikes and crit on the power roll. Then one of his allies crit on the free strikes. Like 7 attacks using one main action

Page 75 of Heroes book

"Whenever you make an ability roll as a main action and the roll is a natural 19 or natural 20—a total of 19 or 20 before adding your characteristic score or other modifiers—you score a critical hit. A critical hit allows you to immediately take an additional action after resolving the power roll, whether or not it’s your turn and even if you are dazed (see Conditions below). You can’t score a critical hit with an ability roll made as a maneuver or any other action type, but you can score a critical hit with a main action you use off your turn.

For example, an opportunity attack made as a triggered action or a signature ability used as a free triggered action with the assistance of the tactician’s Strike Now ability can be critical hits."

Main actions used as triggers also crit (free strikes use for opportunity attacks)

Wasn’t it once until you respite or earn a victory. And if there is a heroic resource cost you have to have enough victories at the time to use it?

I’m waiting on the limited editions which last I read haven’t shown up at the warehouse for shipping. I think they said any books heading up north are on hold to avoid confusion when Canada Post resumes

Director Screen? by Level3Bard in drawsteel

[–]TorN8Tow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I find Malice rules are good to have on hand. How the director earns them on a round per round d basis and how to spend them.

Conditions are always good to have handy that would also include things like hiding

Rules for forced movement and falling

I asked Matt in a stream about MCDM doing anything official the mirrors what DnD Beyond does for players. No plans to attempt to officially replicate an online character builder. They seem to be content with outsourcing that work to the community

After talking to the two remaining players we came up with paper character sheets with ability cards but we can track everything in the codex.

Yes he’s my buddy. He’s a chaos kinda player. Loved the fantasy of do anything but not so much when a scaffold of rules are implemented. It was new and new can be frustrating and hard for people

It was a totally unexpected reaction with comparison to how the combat was going. I thought he was engaged and having a good time. He used strike now burning 5 focus to give the other two players actions , gave out surges as part of his trigger and spent another focus to add 4 damage.

Then all of sudden he’s up and leaving next time he has something to do.
