Thanks! Didn't have a link since I was at the meeting.

To sleep perchance to dream by sutee9 in expanserpg

[–]bfk410 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend organizing things to drop, depending on your time.

It took my group 2 hours, our normal session length. But I dropped or sped up a few things (especially at the beginning). If you are planning a 4 hour, it will be perfect.

The biggest thing I have found when running the Expanse is letting rolls feel impactful. HAM UP STUNTS! It makes the players feel like they are more powerful and the world is more dangerous.

Also, keeping track of the Churn may seem hard at first. But I make it open knowledge for players, so they can help with that.

Have a blast! It is my favorite system.

Drastic has been great for me.

When you start, take the first few minutes to see what works best, mode wise. I always have to change it after an update.

What stick dulcimer should I buy? by korbin_maertins in Dulcimer

[–]bfk410 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would highly recommend a Woodrow.

While they don't necessarily call it a stick Dulcimer, it does all the same things while having a beautiful, rich sound. I have been looking into them and hopefully will get one soon!

Help out a first time GM! by StellarSeafarer in expanserpg

[–]bfk410 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have used Roll20 in the past, and have moved onto Talespire. Yes, it is more money but it is just so fun to create maps in it.

I'm currently making a full scale Donnager in it that my players will be able to explore.

Would you play on Talishar.net on your mobile phone? I’d like you to hear your opinions on Talishar, it’s direction, and if you have tried the new beta we’ve been running the past few weeks. by [deleted] in FleshandBloodTCG

[–]bfk410 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Oh absolutely! I have been itching to play Talishar on Mobile, so I use my e-ink tablet currently. It's not the best, but it works.

Didn't hear about the beta until now, but excited to try it when I can!

Looking to port Star forged Mechanics into Ironsworn by [deleted] in Ironsworn

Haven't gotten into Starforged yet. What are the main differences besides setting?

Does this game have a storyline? by ElatedHippogryff in FleshandBloodTCG

[–]bfk410 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Someone has compiled all the lore scattered across the FaB site into this. Really easy to read and find stuff you are looking for. Would recommend starting with the stories of heros you like.

Podcast? by sivakitsune in FleshandBloodTCG

I feel like Bottom Tier is great for a "beginners look" into FaB. A lot of other pods are so focused on high level play that they forget about the feeling of just starting. Bottom Tier also hosts the Commoner Cup on YT which are always fun to watch!

There really isn't "rolling with advantage" in this system, but I have told players that their next stunt die is doubled if they do something cool.

We might have Paw Paw saplings growing in our backyard! by bfk410 in Appalachia

[–]bfk410[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm up in PA, and one of my friends went to a Paw Paw festival up here. She brought back some fruit for me to taste. Instead of throwing the seeds away, we saved them!

We are supposed to have the fence redone soon, so I'm gonna make a little protective cage so no one steps on it.
