The title makes me very curious!

Of the three concurrent and long running 5e games I've been playing, only one remains. One I may have mentioned before that seemed like it might sputter out, and indeed it has died of a hiatus hernia. You know the thing where a hiatus extends, and ruptures, and that's the end? That thing. The...

This is awesome! Passing the torch so the next generation can keep the darkness at bay.

Yeah, I think you're feeling me. Something that can host a collection of stick figure style 5e dungeon maps that everyone can check and update as they please, adding annotations etc. I'm moving away from battle matts in roll20 reserving the map layer for a more evocative image to set the...

Thanks. I think I may have looked at their drawing app a few years ago, but that part of my memory appears to have been eaten by a grue. I'll (re)take a look.

I'm looking for a light weight app designed to get players back in the habit of owning their own player maps, it should be something easy to sketch with and easy to edit and something collaborators could all see. The tools offered on roll 20 and the like are a bit too awkward and too central...

I don't know that it created any additional tactical layer to the game. With only 3 players it didn't take long to work everything out. I play a fair amount of 5e these days and despite rolling for initiative there is a fair amount of chatter about how to get order you want despite the...

Ah, it’s me that’s not around so much anymore, and when I am around it’s mostly here. I assume and hope they’re both kicking around lively somewhere.

I’m not much for the buckling of swashes, but the mention of these makes me miss Bren and BV.

Because of my intentional avoidance of spoilers for myself I may not be able to field any specific questions you have, but ask away if you're so inclined.

I've played it recently as a demo session in one of my gaming groups. I was initially all like "uh, sure, whatevs" but have become fairly enthusiastic and have played several more sessions. Because of how much fun I ended up having playing it I have been purposefully avoidant of any GM-centric...

Gracias! I enjoy having weapon reach matter in a game, but not having it intrude to much. This seemed about right. Mulling over the session I have a few other questions that came up in play. I guess I might as well ask while I've got conch shell. When fighting with a weapon and shield is it...

Thanks. None of us who played were very conversant with RQ6/Mythras, but had plenty of general BRP background. Because of the weapons on the pre-gens we were playing (one had a 2-h spear with a VL reach, and one with a spear (L) and shield) I thought it would come up more than it did, as it...

This is for those of you who are more than just armchair Mythrasites, to what degree do you use weapon reach and engagement distances with your close combat?

I've been fighting through a severe case of ennui or the vapors or whatever when faced with a computer screen lately. Haven't been able to muster more than a "like" or 1 line reply for a few weeks(?). So. Of my 3 long running 5e games, one campaign is nearing its conclusion, one putters along...
