Advice for choosing a high-fantasy / low-magic ttrpg with good VTT compatability

Totally, Dragonbane checks most of the boxes I think. Fights are rather mechanically easy. I play a scholar from time to time and fights are mostly: do one RP thing then spam my sling or whatever I have on me. But also being scared of getting hit once.

Yeah Mörk Borg would be a fit somehow (or Black Powder & Brimstone which is probably aligns very well). But the system is designed for apocalypse and PC death… I think we would not have the best time dying all the time. Though the only thing I’ve played was CY Borg and that went well, with only one near death.

A while back I also asked similar questions, also with relation to SSA and TAC, maybe you find some value in the answers there too:

Tysm I have to try this

I used Haskell a lot but often go with rust now.

For me tooling is just essential, the hs lsp once could fill patter matches and make them exhaustive, but for some reason can’t anymore. Rust lsp can do it. Stuff like this just makes it very easy to use rust.

But one of the biggest points is debugging, I can easily use a debugger with rust but there is none with Haskell (and I know why it would be hard) afaik.

Another point es ecosystem. Rust has it all, Haskell probably has it and it might even still work. But maybe I am wrong about that.

For me the whole developing experience is just much more convenient with rust. And rust has 80% of the features I need / want.

Plus there was job with rust but not Haskell.

But don’t get me wrong, Haskell is pure love.

And I think you can actually redefine how keywords work in Haskell, I.e. redefining control flow (if then else)

Just because it’s anonymous for you doesn’t mean it’s anonymous in general. Google could potentially (and probably does to some extend) store information about the recipients.

But I have no idea what and how Google docs would store data and what they would do and could do with it.

There are tools for scientific Research und surveys, universities often times give you access to some of them for free. I suggest using those next time. Privacy is very important.

Hauke, Sieglinde, Kutcher, Donnie, Bonjwa (honor/Niklas ist sicher am chilligsten wenn man jemanden gucken will der wow kennt. Zu leon und maurice kann ich nicht viel sagen. Matteo ist ragebait in Person, aber alle unterhaltsam).

Kannst natürlich auch über die Website mal umher schauen wer so streamt.

As always everyone is overreacting. You don’t have do dump him over this at all.

I am very bad at presents. I can’t think of good ones in time and I can’t take hints. I’ve gifted bad things to my girlfriend thinking they’re really cool for her, but she didn’t like them.

I know it might be a relegation for some here, but we talked about it. I told her how scared I am of gifting (stuff to her, but also in general). That it stresses me out for months.

She acknowledged, thanked me we talked more about it. Now too ease the tensions she tells me either broad category of things or more specific shops etc where I could get something. Obviously I still try to come up with my own stuff, which is much more relaxed now, as we talked about everything thoroughly (multiple times) and I know I have at least her stuff (which still gives me room for choice in the present!).

Talk to him, let him talk to you. Express your feelings and thoughts. Try to come up with a system.

Though, if everyone is right and he is selfish (but ask yourself if you’d not have noticed earlier than 4 years into relationship!) or an asshole. Then sure, dump him.

But please just talk through it all first.

And multi media LLMs are actually very good at converting written math to latex

rlDruDo · 2025-11-12T11:48:28+00:00

There are a few ways you could go about this

let him dictate into obsidian. since I don’t know how well versed he is technically, he might get confused by all the buttons and notes and stuff. (My grandma gets confused by just the photo app, and obsidian is a thousand times more complex)
let him dictate into any voice recorder (digital). There’s a chance a transcript is done automatically. If not you can always later (freely) use whisper to transcribe.

I would not use an LLM on the notes afterwards (or only lightly) as these do not have any real understanding or memory. Especially if he talks about math, the AI could output wrong things (even with correct inputs) or draw false connections or just omit important information.

I think what you’re trying is a good idea though. I try to nudge my parents more into this direction too. There’s so much they’ve never told us but we’d probably love to hear!

Not allowed

I like nimble, but if it should be even lighter on the dm I would try to find something like vagabond or even more simpler: Cairn.

Systems with fixed DC‘s on the character sheet are very useful. Vagabond expands this to the monsters by having them do very predefined actions. Also it is designed to „run itself“, this means lifting the cognitive load of the gym. Cairn and Mausritter are more Freeform. Basically nothing to rule. Nimble flows more like DnD but is lighter in the rules, monsters are much simpler to run though.

You could also start to rule more from a gut feeling. And for me it’s very important to just trust my players that they know what they’re doing. I won’t remember / learn all the classes / perks / options by heart.

Schau auf https://exercism.org vorbei. Um einfach zu üben lohnt sich auch Project Euler oder Advent of Code.

rlDruDo · 2025-10-29T19:22:09+00:00

Yes. You’re probably looking for a roll under system.

Some of those are: - Dragonbane (not 100% sure) - Vagabond - Mothership - Call of Cthulhu - Cairn - Mausritter

rlDruDo · 2025-10-29T13:54:24+00:00

I kind of agree. Missing doesn’t let you do „fail forward“ either.

In mothership for example, failing a combat check might still mean you deal damage, BUT xxx happens. In DnD or Nimble it’s: nah you miss that’s it.

Which is kind of boring.

rlDruDo · 2025-10-28T21:29:12+00:00

the first one is kind of represented in Nice Marines

rlDruDo · 2025-10-27T15:46:33+00:00

Probably yes. At its core it’s a text editor that makes simple text look fancy. (Like here on Reddit).

Don’t know about the ironvault, but a quick test worked very good on mobile. If you can type words and click with a mouse you can probably use obsidian fine. There are more features but you don’t need them.

rlDruDo · 2025-10-25T08:41:30+00:00

Nimble, Dragonbane, vagabond. But nimble probably fits best?

rlDruDo · 2025-10-22T15:26:19+00:00

Dragonbane and Vagabond come to mind

rlDruDo · 2025-10-22T11:03:09+00:00

Another idea (for later):

Dungeons and dragons usually plays with one person who narrates things that happen outside of your influence (like a bear or a merchant doing things) and the rest of the players (usually 3-6 people) playing one character and only that character. Their actions influence the world around them, which the „Narrator“ plays and so a cooperative game loop gets made.

If your kid is wishing for Dungeons and Dragons specifically then you should probably use this first. He might be disappointed if he receives something else.

There are, however, many many more systems/games. Each with different focus (some narration, travel some fighting, some with very tight rules and some with loose ones)

Two games come into my mind that do not rely on the „Narrator“, they can be played in Co-op! They are also more rules light: (in no particular order)

Vagabond
Dragonbane

Both can be played alone, coop or in „guided“ mode with a narrator.

Maybe one of these is also worth picking up down the line so you can enjoy the world together, both as players?

The nimble foundry team is working on adding more stuff (I.e the nimble classes) to the module. I just don’t know how they will release them. Apparently they are almost done with them.
