TTRPGs

[Raven Master]

Just want to add something about a chat I had with a friend last week.

In the real world, you might not be able to find players for the game you want to play, or some might be easy to find. For example, my friend has been easily able to find people who want to play 5e; he runs two games of that. Last year, he could only find one person who is interested in playing Pathfinder Second Edition.

Online, you can probably find lots of people willing to play all kinds of things (well, maybe not something really obscure!). I don't know the names of such websites though. Perhaps someone knows?

The website roll20.com, which is a virtual table top that many use to play TTRPGs online has forums where people organize games.

Thanks, Nick!

Looking for something this week, I found a book of old maps, mostly from playing games in the past. BUT, it also included the first ttRPG map I ever designed. That was fun to see!

I've been into TTRPG's since I was 10, so around 26 years now.

I'm pretty blessed to have a group of my best friends meeting every Tuesday for nearly 5 years. We play Pathfinder 1e, on the slow exp progression. We are all 14th level now, my character Hanzyre Louonovo just surpassed 800k exp last night!

Our weekly group is based in Eberron, while my personal campaign (which I just rebooted!) is a completely homebrew world. I find the setting to be much more important than the rules system, as we get involved in a lot more theater of the mind than crunchy chessex sheet battles. Not to say we don't get involved in some meticulous battle mat style encounters, but I supposed what I intend to say with this, is that each player has a set of wants and needs for coming to the table (or zoom), which can be catered to by being specific in rule set/setting choice.

I'm more curious as to what people's group dynamics are, character builds, neat modules to try, and the like. Thoughts?

Do you play them if so which ones you like most/less?

DND 5E is the only game i have experience in but Pathfinder 2E looks really intriguing, I am considering changing my current homebrew setting into one based on pathfinder, but I need to learn all the rules before I can make that decision. It appeals to me because of its slower pace compared to dnd. There are a lot of thing that need to be taken care of when players have downtime and I feel like it would immerse everyone way more.
