Yep there are a few people using it with Raspberry Pi's. The Software works on all major operating systems. If you deploy it on a raspberry pi you can access the UI via the webbrowser from your computer or tablet. Regarding what people use it for: Print out magic items or other stuff that...

Hello Everyone! I wanted to share a odd free & open-source tool I've been developing for a few years. With Sales & Dungeons you can create highly customizable handouts, quick reference and much more for your Dungeons and Dragons (or other TTRPG / P&P) Sessions printable by Thermal Printers...

Realizing that you have a problem and want to improve is a great first step! I think switching to a system with "rulings not rules" might be a nice idea. My personal take: I'm also a perfectionist and always had a lot of anxiety about DMing. Both increased the time to prep a module immensely as...

Damn. I never liked The Dark Eye because the world that its set in is not my cup of tea and the rules neither, but I didn't knew the adventures were that bad. The quoted parts are wild... I guess there are people that enjoy the railroad?

NOTICE OF DEAUTHORIZATION OF OGL 1.0a says Which means OGL 1.0a is not authorized from WotC anymore to be used on anything after the date. That means while already published stuff is safe you can't use 1.0a in any way to license new stuff that has todo with WotC SRDs. If they intended for the...

I feel like the CC part (of game mechanics that can't be protected anyways) is just to invoke headlines like "D&D goes creative commons after community backlash!" that might help smoothing the shirtstorm a bit for people that don't look into the details. @robertsconley already brought most of...
