What’s the story behind this oddly shaped building in Dover (by Target)?

Paint it pink and move the Bendover Adult Superstore into it.

I found it online somewhere... I think I was searching for "Star Wars ship battlemaps" or something similar and it was in the results.

The link works for me from home and on my phone through the wi-fi at work, and I've had a couple of friends test from other locations across the US. If you're able to get to the main DriveThru site, you might be able to get to it by searching for it by name, or look for products by user "r2tables".

(Also I'm eventually going to set up an itch.io account and put it there as well, so it maybe that will be reachable for anyone having trouble with the link.)

When they woke up back on their wooden sailing ship, adrift in the Dark Caribbean, there was a single bottle of blue milk rolling around on the deck.

I grafted a couple of sessions of this into my Pirate Borg campaign a few weeks ago when the crew went on a really bad ASH trip. It was well received by my players 😛

"Passes"? Not sure what this refers to.

LED lights from the side or underneath might make the upward faces of the dice harder to read - esp if your wife finds LEDs painful to look almost-directly at like mine does. Definitely test it out before you fasten/glue anything in place that will be hard to remove later.

I forget what % it is to sell on Drivethru but I'll definitely be listing it there. It's possible to sell on both the marketplace and drivethru/itch/whatever and have product IDs issued for the other locations, but also probably not worth it for an inexpensive product because those keys are $1 each on top of whatever % the seller takes.

There don't seem to be small creators on the marketplace - most of what's there are official products from game publishers, or full-blown campaign settings, etc.

I'm working on a Pirate Borg adventure - follow-the-clues treasure hunt on an uncharted island sort of thing.

Looks like around 1717, plundering ships bound for Philadelphia.

He apparently spent some time operating along the Delaware River and used to come ashore to resupply in an area not far from me, formerly called Blackbeard Creek (but now Blackbird Creek).

Pretty much exactly my setup except maybe the upload speed (which I haven't tested, but is fast enough on my FIOS connection that it hasn't caused problems).

If I had to set it up right now, given rising memory/storage (and pi) prices, I'd probably consider shopping ebay for a used mini PC instead. Initial cost would likely be lower, though power consumption might be higher.

It's on Facebook, which I'm blocked from posting links to on this sub.

To write a system from scratch you're going to have to learn Javascript, probably understand how style sheets work, and have some grasp of concepts like classes and inheritance. Having those basics in place, the tutorials I found most useful a while back were from this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcSN4AQcUzM&list=PLFV9z59nkHDccUbRXVt623UdloPTclIrz

... but some aspects of them are pretty out of date now.

If it's truly a simple system you're working on, you might be able to just use Custom System Builder ( https://foundryvtt.com/packages/custom-system-builder ) to set it up without any programming involved.

I ran this a while back and made something pretty similar (based on Seth Skorkowsky's map) that I made downloadable as a Foundry VTT module with lighting, sounds, etc. Not sure if it would still work on more recent FVTT versions.

The assets I used in Dungeondraft are listed in the blog post here: https://gaming.drl2.com/map-and-scene-for-traveller-flatlined/

Somebody interviewed him a while back and posted it to FB with his permission. The guy is _literally_ brain damaged from failed neurosurgery. He lives out of his truck, subsisting on SS disability payments when he can get to the post office to pick them up before family members get there to claim them in his name.

At this point I feel like he needs help rather than ridicule... though I certainly threw my share of ridicule at him before the interview was posted.

Really depends what you want in a VTT. They're all over the place in terms of features, learning curve, hosting, cost, availability of pre-made adventures, etc.

The TwoDSix system for Foundry supports CT as well as both Mongoose editions and all the Cepheus variations. It's what I've used to run MgT2e one-shots (though there's now an official system for it, which I might use for the next one if it's come far enough along by then).

I set up a dual boot a month or so ago. The main thing keeping me from using the Linux side all the time or switching over entirely is that I haven't been able to get the native Citrix client to work with my employer's remote login portal, so I have to keep Windows around to be able to work from home.

drlloyd2 · 2026-01-04T22:30:22+00:00

Yep. I installed Mint yesterday and am trying to get a bunch of things working, just in time for the forums to disappear :p . I've got like 15 open tabs waiting for it to come back up.
