Canadian geek, not a geek in a can. I started gaming in grade five, started playing at conventions in 2002 with Living Greyhawk.
Does anyone play on Fantasy Grounds? Been playing a couple 5e campaigns and enjoying it. Wondering how others are experiencing it.

It seems cybre.space is down. Anyone know if @chr has a backup account?
Damnit, I haven't even finished my explosive spear shooting whaling gun.
What? We might have to off an orca.
The deep ones got it to attack our boat last time.
Damnit.
Me and the assassin are really good at staying stealthy. Tell the more recognizable party to meet us outside of town.
THEY GET OFF AT THE MAIN TRAIN STATION.
ONE OF THEN IS A 300 lb GIANT. 7'2".
YES THEY ARE SPOTTED RIGHT AWAY.
Open to suggestions for the type of things a locksmith/electrician/engineer/gunsmith/inventor would have in his truck in 1925.
So far:
-many tools
-bunch of half assembled locks and guns
-welding torch
-various sized chains and belts to hook things up to motors
-two or three small engines (Lawnmower through vacuum pump size)
-A couple of lead-acid batteries
@Canageek rpol.net has a great die roller and good aliasing and private messaging, but no map support. I combine it with maps on a free account on roll20. HTH

A Spelljammer campaign where the players fly through various world's going through various adventures, helping people like in old TV shows. Possibly going through classic adventures?

#Selfhosted #Federated #MMORPG - the game is a world that installs and runs on your own PC or as a headless server + "client-only" on your PC.
Everyone can travel, quest and PvP in everybody else's world.
Different access levels: Private, Public, Invite-only.
Uses PGP or similar to authenticate, your own world (server) being where your account authenticates when you logon.
We are already working on a simplified tabletop version.
It's called #Realms

Sargasso of Space: Something that occurs in a lot of old science fiction pulp comics. A bunch of ships are mysteriously becalmed in a specific section of space. Over time possibly they drift. The crews merge, die, interbreed, fight, and so on.
Then it drifts into the players solar system and they now have to investigate what is basically a massive dungeon complex in space.
A dungeon crawling as reality TV/sports type game. Kind of like X-Crawl but actual real dungeons. Possibly with dimensional travel? But television style commentary, dealing with managers, branded gear, and so on.
Not with XCrawls terrible real world setting though. That thing is BADDDD.
Idea: Lets all list game ideas we want to run, but have never gotten around to, and hashtag it with #SomedayGame
Hello folks I'm Keota, long time gamer and recent Mastodon user. I've been a RPGer for close to a decade and a boardgamer much for longer.
For RPGs I'm usual a GM and rarely a player, cut my teeth on New World of Darkness (now Chronicles of Darkness) but now run for a bunch of different systems including D&D 5e, FATE, and OVA.
Looking forward to chatting with folks here and sharing ideas 
Gaslands from Osprey rocks. Buy some (or dredge up your old) Hot Wheels cars, and if you are a modeler, add guns & spikey bits & crew, and play out Mad Max and Deathrace inspired races and skirmishes. Thematically, it's kind of like Car Wars but faster and funnier. Commitment can range from around $30 for the book and a few cars to whatever you want to spend to enlarge your fleet, get add on guns and crew, templates, custom dice, scenics etc. Thingiverse has a lot of 3d STL files for it.
A GM has a hard job because they have to have try to constantly have bad things happening to the player's OCs without getting players angry at them for it.
Trying to find some creepy ambient music to put behind my voice on a podcast thing. Free music archive has a couple potential tracks, but they get busier then I would like. Does anyone have suggestions?
There is a game I love called Neptune's Pride. Free game, plays out as a really slow RTS, as in, takes 6-12 hours to send ships to attack someone. Very slow paced, check a couple times a day type of thing.However, as the popularity has fallen off, it is hard to find players that won't drop out quickly, so I figured I'd try to set up a Mastodon game of it. Is anyone interested?
#intro
I'm a 20 something that likes to play all different types of board games. I've played things like catan and house on the haunted hill, but I am looking to get into DnD.
