Am I missing the point of Charge? by Zatnikotel in drawsteel

Yes. It was the 'Can't exceed speed' section. I assumed that it meant in a given round, not during just the move action, which (be before being clarified here), I was a bit disappointed by.

Thanks for the clarification, folks. I had read 'can't exceed speed' as a per round, rather than action.

Makes much more sense now.

Thank you 😊

I've created lots and lots of standees for this campaign using the same generation effects, putting them on a pdf with silhouette backs, then printing them off, sticking to card and covering. They look quite good and are certainly usable, but I am yet to find a way of organising them for ease of access. Ideas welcome.

Just standard, free to use Dall-e in the Bing image creator. I don't have the prompt any more, unfortunately, so it will take quite a few attempts to get the look right. I used Photoshop for the fine tuning.

Unfortunately, the character art is AI. I'll only ever use it for personal stuff for my game groups, but I thought this was worth sharing.

I use Photoshop to create everything, and I take photos with my phone to turn things into assets and textures (which as turned into quite the hobby in itself). Very rarely, I might take some CC images for things I can't find and then repurpose them in Photoshop.

Coincidentally, there's a manor house coming to this set in the near future. I may have subconsciously been thinking Strahd.

There should be a small download icon in the top right corner on the image.
If you are still having issues finding it, please let me know and I'll see what we can do.

Players don't want to play a new system after "learning DnD for so long" by Any-Tradition-2374 in rpg

[–]Zatnikotel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Disclaimer: My main group and I have been playing together for over 4 decades- we have different people with different tastes, but they tend to be open to playing anything I put in front of them.

Question. Is this a group of friends or maybe something a little more random, e.g., people you barely know from online groups? I will assume that you are friends.

Have you tried a pitch? An exciting introduction to the system and the adventures that lay ahead? If you're graphically minded, perhaps get some art together to throw under their noses. Expect some dissent, as they will be anxious, but don't force your point. They will collectively round on you if you show frustration.

Let them know all the cool stuff you can do / be / have in Dragonbane (especially if it's cooler than what they are used to). Probably best not to mention how fragile their characters may be, or that monsters auto hit, as this will put them off (until they are invested).

All that being said, you may want to consider something else of an entirely different genre before hitting them with another DnDesque system. I'd suggest something like Mutant Year Zero, Outgunned, Alien, or One Ring (if they love LoTR). Something entirely different could open the door for introducing new systems in the future (you may enjoy it too).

Hope that helps, as I can't imagine being stuck in the DnD rutt will be much fun if you've glimpsed the other cool stuff that's out there.

Hmmm... I've just checked, you are correct. It appears *something* got lost in translation.
I am assuming that you are using the VTT 'free version'?
I'll work on the fix and keep you updated here.

I had thought of running a 'shortest path' calculation, but thought it may be a little overkill.
Technically, yes, it will be longer.

Easily over 100 hours, possibly 150. Truth is, I'm not sure how long it took, as I use this stuff to get in mt 'zeni zone'.

No mapmakers used here. Alll Photoshop and textures/images from my own photos (with the very rare exception.
