There are also cheap dry-erase square maps that you can use markers on that have a grid on them which goes very well for 5e's positioning mechanics and such. You can draw the rooms on it and erase them (if no one is mapping in game) or leave the whole thing on it if they are. Some of them get to pretty good size. I like the 36" square ones. The best part is they roll up and if semi-decent quality will still lay flat when spread out without the corners being a hassle. If the corners are a hassle, this is why gaming books are heavy

Honestly, I am TT purist, I don't think 'technology' helps the TT experience much for the most part in that respect. It can do wonders for simulating a TT environment (ala roll20) but that is still not Table Top.

The wikidot is temporary until I get the SQL set up and a domain for that particular site claimed. I've been super busy with work RL so haven't had a lot of free time to work on it, but there will be a MediaWiki for it.

Heck I've been so busy I haven't even been able to make a character of my own.

Mac and cheese, with sliced up smoked sausage, or even plain hot dogs. Horribly not good for you, but so frikken good...

@rnmissionrun Pretty much the same, some small differences. Closer than say, Carls Jr. and Hardees are menu wise.

@cobaltasaurus I go to Rally's every now and again, but their milkshakes are absolutely crazy good...

@cobaltasaurus You are welcome Enjoy!

Darkwater will be back soonish. Working on getting @Cobaltasaurus shell and ftp access working on her shard. Not sure why it's /not/ working yet and waiting to hear back from the host.

That's just the ground floor though, not sure when @Cobaltasaurus will actually have it updated and functional

Finally getting a job back in my field of expertise, and it is work from home, so happy right now I could die. Will probably even be online more now. Yay me! Yay for my projects!

@firepuff I actually tried to get my gaming group into the EverQuest version of D&D but without having been in the world, it didn't really have much appeal to them unfortunately.

I wish it was something I could find a TT for. I still occasionally play on timelocked progression servers, I love the original EQ.

@ashen-shugar This is an awesome idea. I've been around since 1992 myself, and have some experience with coding the TinyMU*'s as well as system and world design, getting wiki's up and running etc. Will help as I can.

@ganymede Then change the title?

Fuck it.

Whatever.

@thenomain No they really do not. There is already rule sets for making up baddies for WoD, especially new CoD 2e.

Even if it were needed (It's not) you are effectively talking about alternate /systems/ not settings.

For example!

I can use FATE for every setting imaginable. The rules don't even /need/ to be altered. I /can/ but they don't need to be.

WoD can be used for pretty much any setting imaginable, may or may not need rule adjustments, but we're talking the World of Darkness, as a setting just Alternate to what is so common right now. So the system is a given.

@lisse24 That or you are just a bit more south of me to get only ice. We're getting rain mixed with snow (Because Floridians have never /heard/ of the word 'sleet' before) and actual snow, that might actually stick. Wouldn't that be something...

SOMETHING DREADFUL!

This is no longer a discussion about alternate settings.

As someone who has played D&D since... well, before lots of people were even alive (I am old)...

I honestly like 5th Edition.

A lot.

It's very well balanced.

I live in Florida.

We are expecting /SNOW/ tonight.

I moved to Florida because I /HATE/ snow.

FML.

Using the WoD rules for mortals, I'd love to see it taken into sci-fi horror, like, all the players are on a seed ship to colonize a different planet, but they were woken up for some reason, nobody knows why, nobody can access the command deck to figure out what's going on and there are /things/ out there...

@miss-demeanor I want to see that so bad, I hope it's still playing. I also want to see Jumanji cuz it looks /hilarious/.

@deadculture I don't mind covers, but there are some I think that give respect to the source material, and some that annoy the piss out of me because they try to take ownership of the song that /is not fucking theirs'/.

I'm looking at you Five Finger Buttmunch.

@insomniac7809 Some people have some serious brand loyalty. When it comes to shoes, once I've found a pair that does me right I try to get them exclusively. Most shoes do not help with the fact that I work on my feet, have flat feet, and am old, so at the end of the day I am just... destroyed.

If I ever found a pair of shoes that didn't kill my feet I would just never change brands ever.
