One of the biggest hurdles for 3D VTTs is the time it takes to actually build a nice-looking map. I wanted to fix that.

With the new Steam Workshop integration in Game Master Engine, you don't have to build anything if you don't want to. You can just:

1. Browse the in-game library for whatever you need (Tavern, Dungeon, Forest).
2. One-Click Download to add it to your own library instantly.
3. Populate & Play by dropping minis and rolling 3D‏‏‎ ‎dice.

It’s all about‏‏‎ ‎getting‏‏‎ ‎to the‏‏‎ ‎"playing"‏‏‎ ‎part of D&D faster. You can also upload your own creations to share with the rest of the community!

I've been a dev on this for 6 years, and seeing‏‏‎ ‎what people‏‏‎ ‎are‏‏‎ ‎already building in the Workshop is honestly the coolest part of the project so far.

Steam Early Access (60% Off): https://store.steampowered.com/app/1451680/Game_Master_Engine/

I'll‏‏‎ ‎be‏‏‎ ‎around all day to answer questions about the engine or how the Workshop works!

Hey hello! It's been a while since I posted here, but I wanted to share this art I did of one of the player characters in the campaign I DM, which as gone for about +150 sessions iirc.

And Laestis has been through a lot during all this time! From starting as a shy noble inheritor with some haunted sword to what she is nowadays (even if the anxiety stayed). She made her warlock pact with a watcher (the setting's equivalent to a quori from kalashtar), who would eventually be the one to bring back Laestis from the dead when she met her untimely end. She has still not had much time to cope with the whole being a reborn bit of things, but at least she got one cool wing out of the ordeal?

(Let's hope she can eventually get a second one, just so we stop making Sephiroth jokes about it!)

DMing for my family. Two players. I ran them at level 5 so they'd have enough toys to feel powerful: my wife rolled up a Trickery Cleric, and my 8-year-old daughter played a Wild Magic Sorcerer (she picked it entirely because "chaos sounds fun," which, correct).

I ran The Wild Sheep Chase because it opens with a talking sheep and I figured that was the right energy for my kid's game.

It started exactly as goofy as advertised. The half-orc enforcer cornered them for the sheep, and my daughter first tricked him with a Minor Illusion of the sheep running off — then, while he was distracted, she hit him with Suggestion. Her suggestion? That he was her best friend and they should go get lunch so he could tell her everything about the villain. He failed the save, and it turned out this guy had never had a best friend in his life. So she happily took him out for sausages and he spilled every secret his boss had. I was already having a blast.

So then they get down to business.

They snuck into the bad guy's compound and a fight broke out with the guards, who were secretly people polymorphed into apes. My daughter's Fire Bolt helped drop one, and when it died it turned back into a human man on the ground. She went quiet. Then she cried. Real tears. "Omg. I didnt want to kill him i didnt want to roll that good." I wasn't ready for that.

After a break for some hugs. As DM, I decided that the other GuardApe was molified by the real tears for his dead guardsmam. She rolled with advantage to persuade him to stop attacking. "Enough bloodshed" mom said and so did the best friend ex-enforcer.

Then, my wife, without missing a beat, cast Revivify on rhe killed guard. He gasped back to life. My daughter cried again, this time laughing with per joy. She was so happy she thanked her mom. She didnt know mom had that power.

And then the ending. They get to the villain. An apprentice who spent thirty years being bullied by the wizard that's now trapped as the sheep. My daughter rolled a nat 20 to intimidate him... and then immediately felt bad about it, because i pretended to shake and stutter in fear. So...what did she do?. She apologized to him, and offered to protect him from his old master (the sheep) if he'd just stop hurting people. She talked the big bad out of being the big bad. In exchange for an apology from the sheep, he handed over the polymorph wand and walked away. She cried a third time: relief. She said, that "he didn't have to be the bad guy anymore."

Eight years old. Her instinct wasn't to kill the villain. It was to save him. I had to look at my dice for a second so I wouldn't lose it at the table too.

No character died. Everyone got turned back into a person. The insufferable sheep got his thumbs back and turned out to be completely broke. Perfect one-shot.

I know these wholesome posts show up here a lot, but I get it now. Best game I've ever run.

Highly recommend Wild Sheep Chase for new players, and even higher recommend playing with your kid.

All my caster players have this in their spell list : it allows them to scout ahead for any trap, enter locked room (small spider going under the door), gives them Blindsight (Bat), or simply use the Help action every turn in combat to give them permanent advantage on Attack Rolls or Ability checks (which is honestly crazy for martial oriented half-casters).

They don't even need to use spell slots on it since it's a ritual...

Am I missing something or is this an auto-include, borderline gamebreaking spell available to (almost) everyone at lvl 1 ?

I'm all for players finding creative solutions to a problem, but right now every brainstorming in my party boils down to "which Familiar will be available to solve this issue".

Here's one of my latest character commissions! This is Amara Arn'ness, a drow pirate captain whose name has become a legend across the seas. She's confident, cunning, and carries herself with the kind of swagger you'd expect from someone who may or may not be a wanted criminal in several continents.

Huge thanks to my client for trusting me with such a fun character!

For commissions, I am available on VGen: https://vgen.co/LuniiBun

I'm a guy, but I want my next PC to be a girl. I don't want to just use my normal voice and insist I'm a girl. I also don't want to be really grating or annoying (I'm fine being cringe, I just don't want to make the others at the table want to kill themselves). I don't need to be a full on VA, but I want something. Way I see it there are two paths. Either go absurd (like Nott from CR) or just kinda try to make my voice a bit softer to kinda suggest at a more feminine voice, even without significantly raising pitch (which I doubt I could do well).

If anyone has some yt vids I could watch or exercises to practice stimulating range, that would be helpful too. Thanks!

Edit: seems like most people say speaking softer/more breathy with a slight change in tone (mostly ignoring pitch) should be good. I'll be practicing a bit. Character should be introduced next Friday so wish me luck

Considering playing a grumpy old man Paladin for next character. As someone who’s not played much of the non 5E editions (I’m joining a 3.5 soonish I hope) I’m looking to be satirical with making him a completely out of touch former hero.

Some reasons or annoyances I do have thus far.

“Everyone has an “oath” these days nobody follows a good old fashioned god anymore! It’s all personal fulfillment nonsense”

“All goblins are evil what do you mean? Fey? What do you mean they’ve always been? Next your gonna say drow are good”

“You kids have it so easy. Death used to be everywhere and you know what we moved on! Things were more fun when we didn’t talk through everything”

Stuff like that

Edit: did forget to mention he is going to be a massive hypocrite trying to hide his failures behind this “all knowing” former self he is now a shell of

I used to absolutely love this campaign. Now I'm honestly waiting for it to be done with. We've been playing this campaign for four years, from level 1 to 20. We're in the final stages. But the game is taking longer to end than anticipated and the quality has deteriorated.

We use a lot of homebrew mechanics and items, which was great for a very personalized game, but the GM was never good at game balance. Nowadays, she has a lot of personal stress, so she's stopped listening to feedback and the story has become incoherent.

I still have fun, especially with the role play, but the rest of the game has become too messy for me to care about. The GM's noticeably tired of running the game too, she keeps forgetting to prep and it feels a lot less creative than it used to.

I've brought up my concerns two times and they've fallen on deaf ears even with other players, so it might just be my impression. I still enjoy the game most of the time, but it's lost its magic. I love hanging out with the other people at the table so I'd never leave, and I don't begrudge it the GM, you can't help your personal stuff after all.

But to be honest, I'd rather end the campaign next session on a high note than stretch this slow death out for another year.

I've been playing D&D for probably 15 years now. We started with 3.5 (skipped 4) and continued with 5th edition. As it stands now I have just about every source book that has been produced for 3.5, 5, and 5.5...along with mini's, maps, etc. I have a significant financial investment in this (Plus MTG and 40k)

And I think I want to sell everything and be done with it.

Backstory: My husband, sisters and I initially picked it up just to have something to do as a group on the weekends back in 2014 ish. We've pretty consistently met every other week for the past 10 years. At one point I was DM'ing a 14 person campaign. People have come and gone but ultimately it was a way for me to spend time with my family.

Yeah well, over the last two ish years everything has fallen apart. My sisters and I no longer talk even when we're in the same room and now my husband and I might get a divorce because he can't get over a girl he had a crush on in highschool 20 years ago! (I'm not getting into my personal life more than that).

Maybe I'm actually done. Maybe it's just depression. I don't know. Just want some outside advice or recommendations on where to sell (I would also be liquidating my MTG and 40k)

And yes I'm already in therapy.
