What is the best steampunk game (ttrpg)?
  • I've always been intrigued by Skyfarer - made by FailBetter Games (Fallen London, Sunless Seas, Sunless Skies, Mask of the Rose). It's a Sunless Skies TTRPG. I haven't tried it but it definitely seems to fit in the steampunk genre.

  • Niantic closing LA office and getting rid of 230 people
  • I guess that Transformers mobile isn't coming out then.

  • After holding out for almost 10 years, I finally got 5e books.
  • It's good you were able to get them at such a bargain as WotC is in the process of updating the rulebooks for 2024. As far as I know, there will be new players and DMs guides. Though, as they've stated that the adventures should not be impacted in use by either 5e or 5.5e (or whatever they call it), it may not have that much of an immediate impact on the player base in general or your play group specifically.

    Discussion of DM Guide update

  • VTTs for Cyberpunk RED/2020
  • If you're referring to Cyberpunk Red, then yes.

    Fantasy Grounds has both official rulesets (including, but not limited to, DnD 5e, Call of Cthulhu, Starfinder, Vaesen) and community rulesets (including, but not limited to, GURPS and World of Darkness). There are also community created add-ons that are available on their forums, the Fantasy Grounds Forge, the DMsGuild, or DriveThruRPG.

    It's probably best to check out their site and see if what they have fits what you're looking for. It's not always the best option depending on your needs but it has been for me.

  • You didn't specify an OS so I'm going to give my Windows setup: Fantasy Grounds, Discord, Kenku FM, and VoiceMeeter. If I want to stream, OBS Studio. I create my own sounds (atmospheric and effect) and pipe them through Kenku FM though if RPG Sound got more updates I would use that instead. Fantasy Grounds costs a bit but I prefer being able to use it with or without network connectivity.

  • [Solved] Firefox on Windows login issues?
  • I had this problem as well. It came down to what I was using in the user login field. You can choose either username or email. When I chose email, it would just spin forever. However, if I used my "name", it worked.

  • Any recommendations for low-end, Linux-friendly games to play?
  • While it may not exactly match up with the body of your message, I think this would fit the subject line rather well:

    Dwarf Fortress

  • D&D introduction at work - one shot ideas needed!
  • The Adventurer's League modules on the DM's Guild that end in -00 are usually good for introducing people to D&D. They usually have a nice balance of role-play and tactical combat, are low level, and are short or broken down into segments. I personally enjoyed DDAL10-00 Ice Road Trackers. It's four short 1-hour episodes that can be strung together for a larger story arc.

  • What makes a good battlemap?
  • One of the things I strive for is how the art style adds to the mood of the situation. As an example, I love Mike Schley's fantasy map style. And while I've used it in some rather gruesome situations, it's not something I always use. I've used minimalist and monochromatic styles. I've had maps on aged parchment and as architecture drawings. I have used realistic and abstract designs for maps. I find it helps keep things interesting for me in map creation and for my players' experiences.
