I missed these posts. Happy new year!

Even you, shadow downvoter.

Original post from yesterday wasn’t carried over to the new host. Not that it makes a huge difference, but still.

Thank you for doing the thing, and keeping us updated!

I like these process/improvement details.

Same. I search the interwebs for images I like and then slap them into token stamp. The searching takes the longest.

Sorry, I can’t advise you on that. I have never had a problem using either Firefox or Chrome.

I’ve heard many good things about Ironsworn, so this is a good excuse to give it a go.

I am only directly familiar with Dyson so I’ll have to check out the others. Thanks!

Which creators do you draw inspiration from?

Edit: No pun intended but I’ll take it.

Dang, somebody gave $2,500 (and ten cents) towards that bundle.

I would just say have fun and embrace learning as you go. I have not played this game but hopefully the rules light aspect allows you to not worry about the mechanics of the game and focus on story and fun. I like the cozy animal games like this, and I expect it will be similar in vibe to Humblewood and Mausritter.

The problems you encounter will likely have to do with being a new DM and will happen no matter what system you run. There is a near endless supply of new DM advice on the internet which you could search through. I particularly like Sly Flourish and recommend reading his Top Tips for RPG Game Masters. If you take that advice to heart, it will help you avoid the common DM pitfalls.

This is fucking cool.

Everyone’s situation will be different of course, but here is mine.

I have a long-standing gaming group with 2 buddies from high school and have been playing with them since the 90’s. The 3 of us are the core of the group. Over the years, other players have come and gone. For those players, we invited them to our regular group after first playing with them in one shots or short campaigns ran for new players or similar. If we have a seat open (our group is usually 6-7 including whoever is GM), we will invite them if they are good people. In the 30 years we’ve been playing together, we’ve never had a problem. The only reason people tend to fall out of the group has been people moving or having kids.
