Happy fediversary! Thanks for letting us join in!

"This post is for subscribers only."

Oddly specific, but I like it.

I sure wish I had as much time as these blogs seem to think I do.

I agree. They will not get my click.

It has taken us 4 years to work through two calendar months.

Holy shit. And from level 1 to 9-10.

Fuck, yes.

I haven't played in person seriously for many years. We're starting a new in-person group here soon, so I'm going to have to figure something out. I have a boatload of 3 ring binders so I will probably do the clear sleeve thing like you do, Mike. And then promptly pull them all out to spread around the table because I am a loose-leaf person at heart.

That's pretty cool. I didn't know this was a thing.

If you have a mystery situation set up and the party has a solution that cuts right to the end, I don't see the problem. My feeling is, instead of figuring out ways to force people into your line of roleplaying, play into their solution and let them feel good about it.

Thank you for taking a look and for continuing to do the thing for us here!

Question for the overlords: What's going on with the duplicate posts from the bot? It seems that about once a day there's a vomit of duplicates from the day previous. I'm a big fan of the service so I've been sorting through, but I worry it might continue forever if someone doesn't ask.

Oh interesting. I had no idea it worked like that. No big deal.

Your post has intrigued me. I am in the exact same boat with Roll20. I'll give Foundry a shot for funsies.

Pretty standard as my memory serves. We simply called it 'the procedure' to which the DM and players all knew was a preset course of events to take at a door before opening it. I'm surprised they didn't say anything about checking for traps though, which arguably is a pretty important part of not dying.

Listen, check for traps, light under the door? If yes, signal mirror to check for occupants feet. Shove open and hope for the best.

I have had the desire to play Mausritter for quite a while. Will definitely add this to the queue.

Damn, that was a deep dive that provided a lot of context which I was unaware of.

I still feel that tracking encumbrance is tedious, boring, and does not offer much towards gameplay. Unless you like that kind of thing, then go for it.

Thank you very much! It's become my go-to reading and my life has gotten much more boring since it broke.

Is the blog roll bot going to make a return in this brave new 19.2 world?
