Oddly specific, but I like it.

I'm mostly in the same boat as you. I have tried several times to get into Critical Role since everyone raves about it, plus a few others. It's not for me. I suppose it's because I don't have any emotional connection with the actual play where I would have that investment with my own game. I will say that I did enjoy Dungeons & Daddies though, but that show is more like listening to a comedy podcast about fantasy rather than an actual play.

Thanks for taking the time to write that.

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

I agree. They will not get my click.

I bought the PDFs when they were on sale but have not yet played. This was helpful, thanks!

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.

Dope.

Is that the system where characters can die during character creation?

Damn that's kinda great.

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.
