Holy crap. Just got my email from Roll20 saying my account had been upgraded because of my Table Top Forge kickstarter pledge. That was fast. I'm amazed I used the same information registering for both and they were able to merge them. Nice work Tabletop Forge and Roll20.

Originally shared by Andy Kitkowski So, Okada-san basically super double ultra recommended that I watch this drama that I skipped over last year called "Yuusha Yoshihiko to Maoh no Shiro": "Yoshihiko the Hero and the Castle of the Demon King: A Low-Budget Adventure". He said it was awesome, and there was no way he could recommend it to me enough. Turns out that even then he totally under-conveyed how fucking awesome this show is. There are two series, I actually watched the entirety of the first and am looking into the second. It's basically a low-budget late-night drama about heroes in a Drgaon Quest-esque RPG world. Every episode the Buddha shows up and gives them their next quest, and pretty much from one end to another the thing is filled with IMMENSELY quotable gags and references. Plus, it stars some pretty famous people (well, in Japan anyway). The hero Yoshihiko is the actor who plays the samurai nephew of the main guy from 13 Assassins (one of the few w...

Originally shared by Meguey Baker Tristan Tarwater shared a link to a RPG Heroine doll-maker. In which I promptly made a doll as close to myself as possible given the options. I suspect more fantastical ones might follow. I moderated a pixel art paperdoll forum for years. I'm made hundred of these things by hand in Photoshop, but not so many drag+drops like this one. Dolling was HUGE in the late 90s and all through the 00s. Pretty much up till the rise of deviantART. I should maybe figure out how to share all that occasionally cool/cheesy stuff. Holly Becker could help! Oh. The link is here: http://www.dolldivine.com/rpg-heroine-creator.php

Image
This is my "No ACKS PCs" circle. I need advice from OSR types. I am running an Against the Giants: Liberation of Geoff campaign. My players run from 4th to 1st level. Last session they pulled off a very successful ambush of some hill giants and killed four of them. On their way back to the fort they are based out of, I rolled a random encounter of 8 more hill giants. I've been letting the dice fall where they may, and decided this was an ambush on anyone on the road to the fort to thwart more sorties into Geoff. The players made the right choice and just bolted, but good initiative rolls and attack rolls by the giants felled three PCs before they could gallop away. Tonight is our next session and I'm pretty sure they are going to want to muster some troops and go after the giants. Even if they manage to round up a posse and track the giants (who I've decided are on the way back to the Steading of the Hill Giant Chief) unless they do something crazy clever they...
