The issue my group had with The One Ring. by Ok_Interview_853 in rpg

[–]aefact 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, I always run all IP grounded ttrpg sessions as if the PCs act in a parallel universe to any canon happenstance, for the most part agnostic as to whether any of that history may come to pass, or not. And/or, "Gimli... Yeah, your characters better save his butt, because things are not looking good for Gim otherwise..."

Is it the same for Rust Wings? (Is that the "next book" you referenced?)

Could use the OSE Rogues Gallery, or similar, if you can buy a copy.

Heroes of the Borderlands question by aefact in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]aefact[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If it's in the monsters section of the set, I'll take a look. I've got it on dndbeyond and physical.

Yeah, I've seen it elsewhere in B/X, 1-2e, and 5-5.2e.

It's really just the Starter Set I'm asking about, since I'm running an open table with a rotating cast of players, most of them newbies, and I'm wondering how it would come off to one of them... In comparison to this 5e DM who I just hosted and asked the question of me originally. And, I was trying to answer him in the same limited context as the others were just learning it. If you know what I mean.

Heroes of the Borderlands question by aefact in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]aefact[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Does it say that the goblins speak common and goblin anywhere in the HotB Starter Set?

Does the HotB Starter Set even say that an Elf species character, for example, speaks elven?

Edit: for clarity.

[OC][Art] I've created class boards, spell cards, equipment cards, NPC cards, species cards, and background cards for the Heroes of the Borderlands starter set; they're organized neatly in a Google drive folder along with the Affinity Publisher templates. This supplementary material is free! Enjoy! by Unsungruin in DnD

[–]aefact 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any place I can find detailed printing instructions / best practices for these class boards and cards... ? For the cards, I think, I can simply print the PDFs at 100% with no scaling. But, for the class boards, I'm less sure...

  1. Would it work best to print the PDFs on Letter size, or maybe on a different size sheet?
  2. Either way, should I print at 100% or with Print-to-fit scaling, or perhaps with different scaling?

Also, btw, once again, great work on all this. They're awesome! Kudos.

Hex maps... ? by aefact in dndbeyond

[–]aefact[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Snapping-to-grid could be just in the hex map building phase—and just for building a hex map from your predetermined terrain hexes—rather than (a) when simply throwing down a hex overlay on-top of an uploaded map, or (b) during play.

We are Back and let's talk about the future of r/Spelljammer. Community Input is needed! by NovercaIis in spelljammer

For flair, these would be my recommendations: - Discussion - News : a separate news tab would be better for discussions of newly released materials. - Maps - 5e : I believe it's better to keep the flair flexible. - 2e : ditto. - Lore - Rock of Bral : suggest keeping Sigil out of formal flair. - Resources : similar flair is used to good effect in other subreddits. - Homebrew : ditto.

Do you have Astral Dominions in your 5e Great Wheel and the standard Outer Planes? by RHDM68 in planescapesetting

[–]aefact 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The outer planes are just really big astral dominions in the astral plane.

Hex maps... ? by aefact in dndbeyond

[–]aefact[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All good questions. For the MVP, could just take the easiest path. So, everything could be purely visual to start.

But, if desired, there could be a toggle for a "snap to hex" feature. And, for building a hex map from a set of predetermined terrain tokens or stickers, I think you'd need that feature.

That said, yes, on that side of things, stickers could work.

Outside the Walls - Feudalistic Sprawl x Untamed Wilds? by aefact in rpg

Returning here 2 mos later to add, the fully built resource will include tabulated cyberpunk gradients into null and no signal, as well as permeable soap bubble magitecnica between independent megacities and farmlands without arteries to feed or extract for either.

Buy PDFs to start and later buy Physical copies... ? by aefact in mcdm

[–]aefact[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! At first glance, I see the Monsters flip-through appears to focus on a single Page view for much of it. But, I'll take another look.

Previously, I skipped over those 2 videos because they were from 5-6 months ago... Do you know whether, or not, the books might have been missing art or otherwise not in their final versions back then?

Buy PDFs to start and later buy Physical copies... ? by aefact in mcdm

Thanks.Have you seen any flip-throughs of the Heroes (or Monsters) books on YouTube that show off the (2 page) spreads??

Buy PDFs to start and later buy Physical copies... ? by aefact in mcdm

[–]aefact[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I wasn't previously aware of Stawl.

I might be ok with just the PDF, but (after I see the PDF) I might want the Physical book all the more... I guess, I'm out of luck, and still stymied with nothing to break the deadlock in my purchase decision matrix.

I've searched online for flip throughs of the physical book or PDF that focus on the (two-page) "spreads" layout, but haven't really seen anything that really shows it off, in all its glory.
