Nice, an unpopular opinion. Good on you.

It looks like the truck that a person who’s never used a truck would build.

Great point.

Only a few steps away from not actually owning computer on your desk.

“Please renew your subscription or return our hardware.”

I am leaning towards Foundry at this point but it’s also starting to seem like yawing VTTs really well is like another hobby unto itself. Like painting minis.

I’m not sure if I have room for that in my life. I’ll still give it a go and see if it clicks.

I am really leaning towards Foundey at this point but you make the simple map format sound very appealing.

Foundry sounds like the winner so far. I love that it is a purchase and I have the option to self host if that’s what I want.

Thanks I’ll give it a look. When you say miniatures does that mean that’s it’s a 3D map or is it more like tokens on a 2D map?

Another point for Foundry.

I have never played Pathfinder. I’m mostly focused on D&D right now while I’m getting back into the hobby but I live to run a Cyberpunk Rd game at some point.

The pay model on Foundry is huge for me too. I love purchasing and owning things over subscriptions.

Good recommendation, I wasn’t even looking at Owlbear. Do you have a sense of the ease of use for the players?

I definitely want to try a VTT over just a map. Honestly, I wish there was a DM software that was like a VTT that I could use to organize my in person games and export sessions to a printable format.

I agree with you. I’m a privacy advocate but there are some things I have given up on. I have an iPhone and just live with the fact that it has much more telemetry than I want. It’s better for work because everyone else has an iPhone, etc. However, on my personal computers I run Ubuntu LTS with all telemetry turned off. I use Firefox with ublock and privacy badger, if I want extra privacy I’ll use a VPN. But even then you have to trust the company that runs the VPN isn’t secretly recording your browsing data, it’s a gamble.

My main point is, fight for privacy where it makes sense. Don’t waste your limited time fighting it where it doesn’t. That’s become my personal philosophy, your mileage may vary.

I thought Lemmy users were lemmings.

Play Balduts Gate 3 on steam deck. You’ll be done in ~45min. Or rather the battery will be.

This looks super clean. Great install.

It’s cool. I actually prefer it to being a player.

‘Almost right’. I prefer the term: confidently incorrect.

I’m playing the DM. My first in person table top game since 3rd edition. It’s going really well. Three sets of parents with kids. We hire a babysitter to watch them all when we meet.
