Also be careful of the shield spike, the dwarf in the diagram would have just stabbed himself
Demiplane is dndbeyond for RPGs other than dnd*, currently pathfinder 2e, alien RPG, avatar legends, the 2 critical role RPGs, and some others.
*They're also adding 5th edition soon, but it's currently just the dnd 5e SRD and kobold presses Tales of the Valiant, not the full dnd 5e
Even worse, Roll20 development is not only slow, player made solutions to issues are locked behind a paywall.
Making your customers pay you a monthly subscription to fix your product for you and then charging other customers a monthly subscription to access the fixes you didn't make is a grift so insane it's bordering genius.
The VTT system Roll20 and the character builder Demiplane are now owned by one company.
As a hardcore roll20 hater, I'm not too happy about this. Hopefully this at least makes R20 better and demiplane won't just be killed off in 6 months.
In addition to what others have said about Loss, the text of the tweet is referring to the Long Term Nuclear Waste Warning message from the early 90s
This place is a message…and part of a system of messages…pay attention to it!
Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be powerful culture.
This place is not a place of honor…no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here…nothing valued is here.
What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.
The danger is in a particular location…it increases towards a center…the center of danger is here…of a particular size and shape, and below us.
The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours.
The danger is to the body, and it can kill.
The form of the danger is an emanation of energy.
The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically. This place is best shunned and left uninhabited
One of the packages says freedom nuggots, the other says freeedom nuggets. Neither is correct.
On the off chance that happens I'd probably give them one of the beast traits, probably one of the ones that's less useful like keen smell or web sense
This is a really good idea, I might make their laws very simplistic. I might even steal the ones from Animal Farm.
In my mind the mongrelfolk definitely won't be inherently evil. Paranoid or scared of outsiders, definitely. But they should have near-human intelligence, but slightly diminished.
Professor Moreau to me is the evil one but purely because he doesn't hold much regard for the lives of the people he has experimented on, especially in a world with polymorph magic and Druidic wildshape. Though Moreau will be helpful to the players and give them no good reason to kill him, since they're his chance to regain control of his lab.
I've been going back and forth on if Moreau will want the mongrelfolk dead, since they'd hold more scientific value to him kept alive.
I've not seen either of those but a quick search shows me that's 51 episodes of one series, 64 of another and a movie. That might be a little bit too much for the amount of prep time I have
I recently watched the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episode in which they did a parody of "The Island of Dr Moreau" and thought a mad scientist trying to turn people into animals could make for a fun minor character in my campaign. My players are en route to a dungeon and should be there in a few sessions, I'm thinking of making the dungeon the lab of a mad scientist who has gotten locked out of the lower levels due to a containment breach.
The details I have so far is that he is a gnome, currently named Prof. Moreau, who has created mongrelfolk while trying to turn a human into an animal.
The mongrelfolk are safely contained in the lower levels and have started to create their own society, I think the boss of the dungeon should be a Gibbering Mouther called One, as in Attempt One.
I think the Mongrelfolk should worship one as their leader and hate Moreau for keeping them locked in the lab.
What I'm stuck on now is what life is like for the mongrelfolk, what they believe and how they have organised society.
That's almost 100 whole sessions. It's honestly too long of you ask me.
The only actual play I've ever actually found myself enjoying is oxventure, they're not the best example of a proper actual play though since they usually don't follow the rules too closely and are more of a fantasy improv group vaguely using 5e rules, sometimes blades in the dark or SWADE Deadlands.
Although I've only started listening fairly recently and haven't gotten up to the Deadlands stuff yet.
I'm using flee mortals for my current campaign wherever possible, I have a werewolf quest planned, which isn't in FM. Though I might pivot to a basilisk hunt.
This has been happening for years. Shadow of war (2017) had orcs in loot boxes, every assassin's creed since, and including, black flag (2013) has had microtransactions in some form, odyssey (the last one I've personally played) had a rotating cash shop in every city. I know it's another Ubisoft game but farcry 5 had cosmetic microtransactions in a game that is permanently in first person. You could only see your outfit on the change outfit screen. This comment isn't meant to come across as antagonistic but I do find it strange to be warning about a slippery slope when we've all been riding the toboggan for years.
They have their branding which will push people to use their platform. More people using their platform = more content coming from threads. Once they have enough posts from threads that people from other instances are used to seeing mostly threads content they'll defederate. People will miss the volume of posts and then move to threads.
Just don't do that lol, let them do wacky hijinks, or play a system without the wacky hijinks
I had a grudge against lego pirates of the caribbean because on the Xbox 360 there was an achievement for completing the first level worth 12g, offsetting my gamerscore until I got the paired achievement worth 88g
My wife plays a tempest cleric in my 5e game, every single outdoor battle starts with her asking about the weather, then upcasting call lightning, using her channel divinity to max out the damage and just melting everything in sight
I know a handful of people who thought it looked like an impending disaster and gave it a wishlist so they could see the early negative reviews pour in

There's a ton of really useful stuff on this page and some links that are worth a read, especially Monte Cooks' consent in gaming pdf
You should try the item piles module for foundry if you haven't checked it out yet, it shows you in the chat if they're taking items and gold and you don't have to finagle around with manually giving them items
