Brennall Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 Tywyll I am doing the next video today hopefully .. it will be about importing from Hero Designer. Have you gone to my you tube channel and watched any of the videos of play? .. lots of examples of it there. Also I assume you are based near Europe .. If you want to spend some time on Tabletop I will give you a personal rundown. Just PM me here or join the discord and look for me there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want TEXT. A transcript I can skim to see if it's worth my time to read more closely, or to actually watch the video. Usually, I just hit the BACK button and move on. Life is too short to watch a 10 minute video that turns out to be pointless. 1000% on point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm in Scotland. I would love that! Maybe Sat or Sunday evening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I spent almost two years in Nashville, doing post-doctoral research in Meharry Medical College...I was very taken with the TN weather and, for me, it even decided to snow for two days...

It was helped by the fact that girls in Nashville were FASCINATED by my accent. I was exotic and I got WAY more attention than I ever did back home. Gives a place a kind of shine in the memory. 🙂 Brian Stanfield and Tywyll 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koop Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 Hi Folks! I've used Roll20 for D&D 5E for over a year. It's free to sign up and use for players and GM alike. Purchasing online compendia--the complete D&D PHB, for example--costs money. So too do "Plus" and "Pro" accounts if you want to go that route (I am currently a "Plus" account). I can't speak to other platforms, but Roll20 in combination with Zoom works very well for my players and me. The currently available Roll20 resources for Hero are slim, but it's not impossible or even that difficult to translate to the Roll20 format. (Hey HERO friends--why not work with Roll20 to publish your rules and modules on their platform?) In fact, I plan to announce an episodic 4th edition Champions game on Roll20 shortly. It will be a charity fundraiser to combat COVID-19. I will ask players to donate at least $10 per game session to the CDC Foundation or a 501c3 tax-deductible charity of their choice. I've purchased some superhero tokens and modern urban maps from 3rd party vendors on Roll20, and I'm very pleased with the results so far. For use in that game and others, I created an Excel-based 4th edition Combat Record Sheet (attached here and in the downloads section). No doubt, online games lack the spirit and camaraderie of in-person games. But we are Heroes! Take advantage of our current circumstances to expand your gaming world to include others who wouldn't otherwise make it to your tabletop! I have--it's great. Together we can SMASH COVID-19 like Obsidian stepping on a grape!
