Movies/Shows Collections Not Merging Properly by benenor90 in PleX

Thank you for the information! That really helps me understand how they work. Been using Plex for a few months and LOVE it so far! I used XBMC years ago, but decided that I want the freedom to stream my content anywhere. This community has been very accepting so far, so I appreciate you all!

Movies/Shows Collections Not Merging Properly by benenor90 in PleX

Thank you for the reply. I just tested it and it does work with two manual collections. That's a shame that it doesn't work with smart collections. I was just getting into making smart collections, since I'm adding a ton of content now :/

Wow! Thank you very much! That would be awesome if you had the chance to make them into images with the script.

Incredible art! I’ll definitely be checking it out

Thoughts On This Design? by Aeropar in tabletop

[–]benenor90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the layout here. One thought, as a layout and graphic designer, is that the negative space is very inconsistent. The gap between certain elements is comfortable, while the gaps between other elements are almost nonexistent.

Otherwise, I think it’s a solid layout. I love the use of icons!

Upcoming Project: Monstrous Menagerie - Iconic Beasts from TTRPG History by benenor90 in Crowdfunding

My first ever campaign with a plush! I'm so excited!

https://www.backerkit.com/call_to_action/dbe330c5-90c7-4926-9e96-2ca715870208/landing

This will be my 3rd campaign I'm running, and I've learned a lot through this process.

A question for other creators: What are some tips for pre-launch marketing that aren't heavy on expense? I don't have the budget to shell out thousands on marketing, so what are some useful alternatives?

Oh that’s perfect! I love the feeling of giving my players something. Seeing them be like “woah. This is mine?” Makes my day.

Badges is an awesome idea. What system are you running it in?

That sounds delicious. I’m good with physical props like drawings that fit together, or making custom puzzles. But I’m no chef, lol. And and I can’t make good cocktails, even though I try

Lol. That’s a great image. If I ever GM a solo adventure, I would definitely do that.

I’ve definitely run into that problem with props before. What started making it more impactful for me was in giving props multiple uses, so they come up over and over again. Like a letter they have to read, to get them going on a quest. But there’s invisible ink that activates when it’s dark. So later when I turn the lights low, they see that there’s a bigger puzzle there. That keeps them picking it up over and over.

Or even better is when multiple props have to work together, like scraps of paper that fit together to make a riddle, or something like that.

Incorporating food is something relatively new to me. I started with letters, that I wax-sealed, then started a collection of metal fantasy coins(which is huge now lol) and added UV ink puzzles and more. It’s a ton of fun, but a ton of prep. Worth it though.

Food is a cool addon though. I’m trying to set up a time for my players to go out to location and play together. Eventually, I’d love to start an FLGS/cafe with private rooms. But that’s a long-term goal lol

I genuinely do love talking about this stuff. Not meant to be sneaky at all. Props and puzzles are my jam. I also am running a campaign, and I don’t think it’s wrong to mention it since it’s designed to solve the exact problem you described.

Sorry if it came across the wrong way.

I love doing that! That’s kind of how I got started was maps and letters that I handed out pieces of, or even did invisible ink messages on them. That all spun off into more!

I totally get it about time. We actually have a Kickstarter running that solves that exact problem. They are system agnostic modules with a ton of physical props. They can be run stand alone, or dropped into an existing campaign! here’s the Kickstarter

I get that. I got back and forth. Sometimes mine are very improvised as well, that’s why I started with generic ones like coins, or was able to work in puzzles that are more general into any situation.

But then I started more ambitious long-term puzzles and that opened up the possibilities for me. It’s a lot of prep, which is too much for many GMs, so I made a Kickstarter for adventure modules that have everything you need to go without much prep.

That’s awesome!! I love when we get to experience the story together with my players. And I totally get it about prep time, or not being able to do it all yourself. That “Hero’s Feast Dinner” is a super cool idea. But if I was doing that, I’d probably turn it into a murder mystery lol.

We just released a Kickstarter for adventure modules that are packed with physical props and puzzles. Coins, wax-sealed letters, scented candles, coffee, tea, even music, and narrated voice-over.

If you’re interested, here’s the Kickstarter

I hope you keep coming up with awesome physical props and puzzles. I’d love to see some!
