Okay, so this has been my fascination lately for my games – nested encounter tables. Each entry on the table gets a mini 1d4 table worked into it. While the below table is only a d6, it actually gives me 24 different options, since every entry as four sub options. I tweaked this […]
Playing digitally online can devolve into a strange experience. Character sheets (especially for modern dnd editions) start to look like consoles of buttons. Whenever you want to do something, just hit the right button and see if it works. The choices lay in which button you want to push. As I’ve had […]
