I've played around with ChatGPT project to have it run D&D5e and WFRP4e games for me and three artificial players (personas). It was surprising good and fun and a good way to familiarize yourself with new rulesets. I have no interest in using it much for actually playing. First, I don't enjoy...

One thing I like about Warhammer, which I think I might try to home brew into my game is the Extended Test. Basically you have to get X success levels in order to succeed. So, say you need 5 success level to open a more complex lock. If your skill is 50 and you roll 100, awesome, you open it in...

Someone should be allowed to re-roll his perception check. :)

The world map for Warhammer Fantasy is basically a squashed real-world map with highly generalized and heavy on stereotyping cultures and kingdoms inspired by real-world cultures, though very anachronistically. Then mix in an 80s punk on the brink of destruction vibe, a grim world view, a bit of...

I think the technology you use for prep and recap notes heavily influence how I've organized things. In paper, I would just have a notebook and my notes would be additive, perhaps with some color-coded highlighting. For a while I was using Onenote or Evernote, but switched to just using Google...

Unless they are infernal drum machines and powered by soul coins.

Yeah, 4e seems to be more flexible and different DMs handle it differently. Trappings are listed for each level of each career, but there are not clear general rules for how you get them. Some groups just treat it as, okay you have these now. Other want to weave that into the story. My group is...

Nah that's helpful as well. Do you use the same document for both session prep and session notes? Do you use text color to distinguish between prep, in-session, and post session notes? In my current campaign, I was creating separate session prep and session summary notes. Now I just combine...

Generally I prefer to read, but I have 10 hours worth of driving every other weeks and enjoy audio books while doing so. In case others are interested, you buy audio books from the Black Library. https://www.blacklibrary.com/audio/warhammer-fantasy-audio They don't have a lot of Warhammer...

It sounds like they made a an effort to make followers of different distinctive, which is good. I don't need the priests in Warhammer to have a large toolbox of spells and powers, as long as they can do things wizards cannot. I do worry, from what I've heard so far, that this is one career path...

I would not have run WFRP4e if it wasn't for the game system for it in Foundry. Now that I'm familiar with it, I would run it pen and paper with self-created quick references, especially for the tables, to avoid the constant page flipping. But I would not run it online without the game system...

How dynamic do you need it? Do you need the formed unit to show lost of individuals in that unit or does the formed unit have single stat block? If a single stat block, follow the advice above and create a token that shows multiple troops. A variety of ways to do this, but it has already been...

I like to call support and complain that their site is useless in Lynx.

WFRP 4e is simply too complex for many people and it isn't helped that the core book feels a bit rushed with some things like monster building getting dropped in order to fit everything into one core book. It is hard to cross-reference related rules in core book and then you add in the complete...

I take issue with this, but will give my thoughts on this below. First, to answer the question at the end of your post. I think that the three collections of Ubersreik Adventures, along with Rough Nights and Hard Days can be made into a satisfying campaign with less rail-roading than The Enemy...

There is also a trend where the media finds ways to market nostalgia. In the 1930s through the 50s comic strips like Li'l Abner, Prince Valient, and Flash Gordon saw compilation reprints targeting older readers. I wonder if the older parents of the silent generation found it strange for their...

Yes. Yes we do.

Gotta do something when you are baked-up and sitting a while. If you roll it back up, insert place holders, and perhaps add sittybos to distinguish your multiple scrolls; then invest in a heavy wooden DM screen and screw in toilet-roll dispensers on the DM side of that screen--well, you may be...

Thanks for the recommendation. I decided to check it out and book mark it if it look interested. A couple hours later I had to tear myself away and make myself go to bed. Really love the art and world it builds.

Oh man, once again I'm doing it wrong. I spend a lot of time talking about aging. Started a whole thread on the topic. Uh...am I the reason so few young people post here? I don't want to scare them away. I guess I'll nix my new thread on what our colonoscopies can teach us about dungeon delves.
