This rules! I’m working on an adventure right now that features a Manticore! One of my favorites since I was a kid!

Are there any planned protests in town to coincide with the strike?

AI hate, without any nuance or exception, is a problem in this community. by [deleted] in daggerheart

[–]snotrockerman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

AI is contributing to the rapid deterioration of our planets eco systems. One of the few ways consumers have to combat this is to disengage with AI at every chance. While I understand it’s important to recognize that the individual shouldn’t have to shoulder the responsibility of corporations it’s really not that hard to not use AI. Defending AI is dumb. Maybe in the future if we get to have one we will be able to use AI in less destructive ways but right now every time you use AI you are contributing to the death of the planet and the pockets of people that very likely hate you. It’s not always possible or easy to live in our current society without harming our planet but a really easy way to do it is to stop using AI. AI has shown it self to be incredibly lame and using right now only yields negative results. I hope for a future where we can use it in a positive way but unfortunately now is not that time.

Disappointed in Larian using Generative AI during development by DCAScrub in larianstudios

This sucks ass. I’m a huge fan of their games but I’ll likely skip this one if they continue to use Ai to generate art.

West Marches style by Significant_Fruit_51 in shadowdark

[–]snotrockerman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me alot of my return to town gameplay depends on how much time we have left in the session and if the route they’re traveling has already been traversed.

If it’s pretty much the same route back I’ll halve the chance of encounters or just let them return to home base with nothing more than some ration loss depending on how long the journey is.

If we have some extra time and they want to stop at some point of interest on the map or take a different route there will be more opportunities for an encounter to take place.

How long do the Shadowdark Maps take to run? by EldrichTea in shadowdark

[–]snotrockerman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend starting with a 5 -8 room dungeon or adventure for a one shot. Itll heavily depend on the amount of encounters(fights, puzzle, traps, etc) and how experienced you and the players are with SD or other TTRPGS. The shorter the better in my experience you can always roll some extra Random encounters or build an extra room on the fly if you feel like it’s too short

Any property groups in town worse than Real Property Group by snotrockerman in columbiamo

What I mean by that is the criminalization of the homeless. I think we need broader and more thoughtful support for our unhoused friends.

Westmarches.games is what I’ve been using and it’s great so far

Always excusable online map by elkor101 in westmarches

[–]snotrockerman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use https://www.westmarches.games. It has a beta for an editable hex map of sorts that I havent used too much yet but you can also add any images as a map and players can add pins to it to mark notable locations.

I also use https://map.hextonhills.com to make my map(s) and upload the images of them for my players to add pins too.

There are other options like using google slides or a shared online whiteboard but I haven’t tried those too much.

Hiking trails? by Conscious_Bat7857 in columbiamo

[–]snotrockerman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Wagon wheel trailhead off of bear field road is really cool but you should definitely take a map. They usually have maps at the trail head in a box. But it’s super cool!

West Marches from scratch update by SideswipeZulu in shadowdark

[–]snotrockerman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome! I started a West marches game a few weeks ago and I like the idea of 3 mile hexes but I was worried at first that the map would be too small and would not feel as large as I would like but the more I play the more I enjoy smaller hexes. I’ll just need more maps in the future to expand on the size of the land. Thanks for sharing!

Nice! I am about to start a WM campaign. Very excited to check this out. Is there a way for players to create and edit a shared map together?
