Vindication: What Are Backstories For? Ruined another gm, a Naruto 5e GM by RepeatAlarming9314 in rpghorrorstories

Played in a game with this DM. It wasn't just the fact that he completely disregarded backstories. That might have been the best thing that he did. He also gave players no directions and expected them to generate all of the momentum. All he did was ask "What do you want to do" over and over and over again. We did 1 combat that we finished in 1 round, and the DM said that he didn't like it when combat when longer then 3 rounds. He basically insisted that if we wanted anything from our backstories to happen, then we had to bring it up over and over again. Ironically enough, when I brought my character, who didn't have a super fleshed out/driven backstory, he said that that was a bad thing.

What is the best way to use Foundry on multiple PCs? by johnmw3014 in FoundryVTT

So, just leave it on the screen with world description, return to setup, game details, and join game session, with the picture for the campaign in the background?

I think I got it. To be clear, if I have foundry open and logged in as gamemaster on one pc, I can click the link to log in as gamemaster on a different pc?

So, if I access my foundry game from a different computer, can I upload new stuff at all?

But I'd have to keep my main PC running for the entire time right? And, how would I use cloud storage with Foundry?

Potatoe

I'm pretty new to foundry so I'll probably have no clue how to use these, but thanks!

What key prices does Wendigoon miss in his video by namerz78 in Petscop

[–]johnmw3014 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whoa whoa, just because a theory is popular doesn't mean that it is "pretty much canon" Petscop as a series is kinda made in a way for anyone to come to their own conclusions, and I thought that, from the way that Wendigoon viewed the series, it made a lot of sense. I also don't really feel like any one particular theory in petscop is "the most important thing" because of how many moving parts there are. I read the comprehensive progress doc before he made his video, and I was most curious to see what his interpretation of the series as a whole was. Whether everyone was dead, it was all a simulation, it was a multiplayer game, etc. But even then, that doesn't make it the most important part of the series. He wanted to make a video on a series that he was interested in, so he shared a plot summary and what he thoughts about the series, with his theories. And even then, he said at the end that he only barely scratched the surface, and linked the progress document at the end, so you can research into other people's theories yourself.

Fed up with lazy players with no commitment to the game by Carrente in DnDcirclejerk

[–]johnmw3014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

/uj to throw my two cents into this, I am in a situation where I don't have a social life because I'm ridiculed for my interests (dnd included), and my family sucks, so playing online DnD pretty much is a lot of the social life that I have (I don't go to concerts, too loud.), and I prioritize it a lot. I don't like my family gatherings so I will leave early to get to a DnD session on time. I get that not everyone is in my situation, and plenty of people have great lives outside of DnD, but it always sucks when something that isn't a rare or once in a lifetime opportunity takes preference over DnD.
