in Block User February 2022

Got it. That does seem like it would have come up before, but I don't see anything in the code that suggests that feature exists. Thinking about it, a block on a single login doesn't really solve the problem if one member is harassing another membe…

in GMs, why do you think your Players play TTRPGs instead of MMORPGs? February 2022

@Keryth987, thanks for that! That guide is pretty long, so I read the first few pages, and I think I got the gist. It sounds like on WoW you can indeed role-play and there are other players that create backstories and act out storylines that you c…

I don't think there's currently a way to do that. Can you give some context for the situation? (Feel free to message me if you don't want to discuss publicly.)

in Why would A Future Earl become A Adventurer? February 2022

Prophecy sounds good, but the GM could also put it back on the Player. Have the Player come up with the reason the Character is an Adventurer. If the Player doesn't have a reason, then the Character basically retires before he even starts, and the…

@Keryth987, could you elaborate? I'm not sure I'm getting what you're trying to point out. (Ha! I had to google ERP ... interesting.)

in How to justify The Imperium not figuring out the truth after almost 67.5 in-game years? February 2022

"So how do I justify The Imperium not figuring it out after almost 67.5 years?, I mean I know The Imperium can be dumb at times, sometimes very dumb, but this is beyond my abilities to reasonably justify" It doesn't have to be that they didn't figur…

in GMs, why do you think your Players play TTRPGs instead of MMORPGs? February 2022

Wow, those are some good answers. Sounds like the main differentiator between TTRPG and MMORPG is some version of "flexibility", not "pre-programmed", and not "limited options". Meaning that TTRPGs allow for creative or surprising solutions that of…

in Do you ever play one-shot games? February 2022

@twiggyleaf, I'm guessing you meant Talisman the board game, which I've never played, nor heard of before. But when I looked it up, there's apparently also an actual Talisman RPG based on the board game, too. Learn something new every day ...

in How crazy was my uncles? February 2022

He may have dodged a bullet. What kind of trouble could he have gotten himself into if he was handed a lump sum of 70k? If he already has major money troubles, then he may not have yet developed the skills to know what to do with a windfall like t…

in Your thoughts on how completely secure both Delphini and Kai's jobs and life styles are? February 2022

Age 0-6? I don't think I personally even have memories from that age range. So maybe just some specific really scary memories that might have gotten in deep and still affect their behavior/decisions now? Sorry, I don't think I'm much help there.

in Your thoughts on how completely secure both Delphini and Kai's jobs and life styles are? February 2022

The GM can always inject some kind of "shake it up" scenario ... like a global pandemic : ). Or can choose to have it be a perpetually peaceful time period where none of the terrible things that could happen ever actually do. So, I think this is k…

Nice solution!

in Could The Mercenary pay off Delphini's/my mates groups Wizards, Debts to The Light College? February 2022

Off the top of my head, nothing really great comes to mind for me from the backstory. Maybe one of the slaves didn't get away when these guys did, but did get away later, and blames them for abandoning him/her? I don't really have background here t…

in Could The Mercenary pay off Delphini's/my mates groups Wizards, Debts to The Light College? February 2022

"My thought was have him arrange a attempt to kill him, she saves his life and this will legally justify him using 5K to pay off her College Debts but he makes it common knowledge that he only did it because she saved his life and if she's kidnaped …

in Could The Mercenary pay off Delphini's/my mates groups Wizards, Debts to The Light College? January 2022

Not if y'all don't want there to be a reason. But if you DO want a reason, Delphini (or the Mercenary) could see it as Delphini incurring a debt to the Mercenary ... explicitly or implicitly. And she or the Mercenary might shy away from doing it i…

in Character sheet won’t save extra lines. January 2022

Excellent! Yeah, just a weird glitch as far as I can tell. If it happens again, let me know.

in Character sheet won’t save extra lines. January 2022

Thanks for those details. That helped a ton! It looks like something odd happened during a Save and some of the data got duplicated in the database. It's not clear what the "odd" thing might have been, but I doubt it's anything you did. I have cl…

in Removing Box on Main Page January 2022

Agree on all fronts. Especially "one would think that if it was either of those things the issue would be consistently reproducible." So yeah, at this point, we'll wait to see if anyone else is having the issue.

in Character sheet won’t save extra lines. January 2022

Thanks! When I look at that character, I'm not seeing anything obvious that would be causing this. Can you give me steps or a screenshot of what you're trying to do that's not working? When it won't save ... is it acting like it's saving but the da…

in Do you ever play one-shot games? January 2022

@Keryth987, that's an impressive longevity in a group! In general, I prefer Campaigns too. Most of the one-shots I've played are with a group where we're not planning to get together regularly, or when someone in the regular group wants to try out…

If y'all are happy with the solution, that definitely works for me. But feel free to bring it back up if there's still an issue.

@MattAdams, thanks for bringing it up! Can you share the url of the Character that's showing the issue?

@Frak_Lou_Elmo, thanks for the details. Yeah, if you find a way to make it happen consistently, post here. @Keryth987, thanks for the link. I was able to get it to happen once where the PDF wasn't showing, but I couldn't repeat it. I will start l…

in Font changes after bullet point? January 2022

Ah, thanks for that example! Currently, in your CSS you maybe have something like: .campaign-public-layout p { font-family: 'Papyrus'; } Which means "use Papyrus on any text inside of a p tag in the public facing parts of the Campaign". But the b…

The screenshot I posted is from Chrome, and I'm not seeing the issue in the screenshot (let me know if I'm missing it). But you are still seeing it?

in Do you ever play one-shot games? January 2022 edited January 2022

What are some themes (unusual or not) and/or Game Systems y'all would be interested in playing as one-shots? I'm idea farming, so feel free to throw out multiple if you have them. I've been wanting to play something pirate themed (man, I miss Black…

in Do you ever play one-shot games? January 2022

@twiggyleaf, oh good point about pre-rolled characters! @Keryth987, any particular reason you've abstained from one-shots for 20(!) years? Or were one-shots just only something you did at conventions, and never with your regular group?

in Import from DND Beyond? January 2022

JSON will work in the DSTs. DST developers can use JavaScript in the DSTs (and thus JSON), and then that JavaScript is checked to make sure it's safe before the DST is approved for everyone to use. Yeah, that's a good point about the route and data…

in A Better Way to Display PDFs January 2022

Yeah, that makes sense. Do you have an example of a Character page with a PDF where the PDF doesn't always show up, and the browser that happens on?
