eerongal@ttrpg.networkto rpg@ttrpg.network•What real-world applicable lessons have you learned from TTRPGs?7·17 days agoAs a DM, thinking on your toes has been invaluable. The ability to come up with ideas, explanations, and more on the fly has helped a lot at work in meetings when unexpected things come up.
Ice/crystal golems. Crystal structures are very regular/organized and I would argue quite lawful.
eerongal@ttrpg.networkOPMto D&D Next - 5e Discussion@ttrpg.network•Dungeons & Dragons Shifts to Franchise Model, Dan Ayoub Named as Head6·2 months agoYeah, no idea. And the statement is pretty just a bunch of marketing speaking and no real plans. So we’ll see, I guess
Yeah, but its still using rebuilt HD assets which make it look way better than the original game its based off of.
That’s the HD remaster that came out like 10 years ago. They most certainly did not make that on windows 98.
eerongal@ttrpg.networkto rpg@ttrpg.network•Is miniature acrylic paint different from regular acrylic paint? And other paint Q's4·3 months agosince youve mostly gotten your answers on the basic questions, i will add some other information here for you as FYI. If you’re wondering, you can use regular old acrylic hobby paints for miniatures. It’s going to take some extra work and a lot of mixing to get it the right consistency and will be a learning curve there.
If you’re wondering if it’s worth the money to spend on mini paints, that’s going to be entirely up to your preference. Mini paints can be quite pricey vs regular old craft store paints. I would maybe suggest dabbling with regular paints and getting some thinner medium and see if mixing them works out well for you. If you find it too annoying/frustrating/not worth your time then get mini paints. Mini paints can basically be used right out of the bottle.
i’ve never played it; How does the system work? is it a traditional d20-like system or something else?

Hardcodex has printable spell cards, and they updated for 2024 spells it looks like.
eerongal@ttrpg.networkOPMto Community Meta Discussion@ttrpg.network•Issues uploading/loading images2·5 months agoyeah, the pict-rs service needed to be restarted it looks like. That just happened a few moments ago, and i think things are looking good from my side.
at the end of the day, the issue is the pict-rs service (which is separate from lemmy) isnt…the greatest.
eerongal@ttrpg.networkOPMto Community Meta Discussion@ttrpg.network•Issues uploading/loading images1·5 months agoi did a little testing after i noticed that local communities had the missing image placeholder; It looks like i was unable to upload any images, so i opened a ticket with the host; I would presume the pict-rs service is having issues again.
eerongal@ttrpg.networkOPMto Community Meta Discussion@ttrpg.network•Issues uploading/loading images1·5 months agoI’m not seeing any issues…Can you try clearing your browser cache, or maybe open in an incognito tab?
What problems are you seeing? the same missing image thumbnail?
eerongal@ttrpg.networkOPMto Community Meta Discussion@ttrpg.network•Issues uploading/loading images1·5 months agois it? it currently looks fine to me. maybe it was just a blip? are you still seeing issues?
Yeah, looks like it got all jacked up when I posted it from my app. Gonna fix it
eerongal@ttrpg.networkOPMto OneDnD - 5e UA Material/Discussion@ttrpg.network•OneD&D playtest packet 8 - Barbarian, Druid, and Monk2·6 months agoSure thing, done
eerongal@ttrpg.networkOPMto Community Meta Discussion@ttrpg.network•Issues uploading/loading images1·6 months agoYeah, maybe there were some federation issues or something with a particular instance or two. I think Lemmy reaches out on demand to cache the thumbnail the first time it’s requested, but posts get federated over independently.
So if no one has viewed a post in the UI that’s been federated over, and the instance and ours developed communication issues between then, it’s possible that it fails to grab the thumbnail when someone is browsing in the UI
eerongal@ttrpg.networkOPMto Community Meta Discussion@ttrpg.network•Issues uploading/loading images1·6 months agoI’m not seeing that, I appear to see thumbnails and previews. Is this still happening for you? It could be having issues with specific instances if there’s federation issues

I use this site to turn things into tokens - https://rolladvantage.com/tokenstamp/
It takes whatever image you plop into it, so at that point you can turn anything you want into a token. As far as what to make the images with, I’m not entirely sure, since the ask is kinda vague. What are you looking for in the tokens?
