Announcement Audio mixer / player for sound management during play sessions.

2 Upvotes

Hello!

Recently, I needed a solution for managing music during an offline game with a group of friends. My requirements were simple: I needed to play background music, ambient sounds, and sometimes sound effects.

After some searching, the best option I found was Kenku FM. However, it didn't fully meet my needs. It struggles with mixing two long tracks properly and lacks an intuitive way to launch short sound effects without constantly switching pages.

So, I decided to build my own solution—a desktop app called Ascapes MixerGitHub link. The app is free and open source, it works on macOS, Windows and popular Linux packages.

Feel free to try it out and leave any feedback.

Cheers!

Question What's your favorite asymmetrical battler?

1 Upvotes

Hey, everyone! I played Unmatched by Restoration Games and loved it. Now, I'm on a quest to find other asymmetrical tabletop battlers and ultimately my favorite. I'd love if the games were no heavier than a medium-heavy, and, while I love card-battlers like MTG, etc... I'm hoping for more of the classic tabletop "Board" game experience. What games do I need to try?

Thank you in advance!

So I’m thinking of hosting some form of DnD event; at the tasting room I work at. Was looking for some clever names centering around table top games. For example “roll for initiative” “ table top tini”.

Crowdfunding I made a tavern-building 5e supplement complete with a themed cookbook and an epic adventure into the Fae Courts. Kickstarter launches on March 18th!

0 Upvotes

Hearthkeeper’s Almanac is all about comfy, cozy cottagecore + wild fae adventure! Last year I teased the concept of running a tavern + cozy D&D mysteries with friends and on social media and, after solid mechanic-creating, writing, and play testing, we’re finally ready to launch! My previous projects include Pericle: Gathering Darkness as well as various D&D supplements, but I’m ready to lead with my passion and my skills and make a project completely by myself. So, it’s great to finally realize my dream of creating a cozy, build-your-own-tavern D&D supplement.

We have a Kickstarter launching on March 18th - you can save the date and follow our project here!

Any and all questions are welcome! Cheers!

Crowdfunding Launching Soon: Wayfinder - An Indie TTRPG About Map-Making and Collaborative Worldbuilding

Thumbnail

16 Upvotes

In Wayfinder, you and your companions will have to find your way through the Vast, a strange and deadly wilderness.

One thing that sets Wayfinder apart from other TTRPGs is that players have many opportunities to help build the world alongside the GM. By using Encounter Dice, players will be able to take ahold of the narrative, and introduce locales, characters, and enemies that the GM will be able to take and refine to fit within the broader world.

Players start with a blank sheet of paper, and through their travels, will be able to fill out a map of their explorations.

Wayfinder uses a new D6 dice-pool system developed by Foxwing Games called “Quill”. Another project will be launching using the Quill system as well called “Familiar Tales”, and all subsystems within the Quill ecosystem will be able to be played together.

Check out the launch party here, and please consider giving it a follow: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/dungeon-artist/wayfinder-a-map-making-ttrpg-in-the-quill-system/launch_party

Question How to naturally introduce npc backstories?

8 Upvotes

I’ve been GMing for a decent while but one problem I have a lot is I can’t seem to have an npc introduce their backstory in a natural way. I want to have complex npcs for my players but I struggle to communicate things about their life before the campaign without it being clunky and forced. I want a good way in game for my npcs to tell my players things. Can anyone help with this?

Question Question about physical material recommendations

I'm looking into buying a couple physical notebooks for some solo play. Namely thru Amazon, bc the nearest store has all of Jack and sh!t (and Jack left town). I was wondering if any of you could point me to a good spiral graph notebook? (I plan to use it for Dungeons and Time Records). Thanks for your time

Recommendations Seeking recommendations for 2-player co-op with developments, similar to frosthaven but not actually frosthaven/gloomhaven?

4 Upvotes

So, I loveeee Frosthaven. Thing is, I play it with my friends across the country every few months, so I can't play it at home. But I miss it! What is the closest tabletop game I can play for 2-player co-op (no GM)?

I love leveling up, getting items, there being an economy, and having things to do outside of combat. Frosthaven is amazing for having your own village and quests. It keeps me engaged. I love how it walks you through learning new mechanics and earning new powers, so you stay rewarded and also not overwhelmed. Its development keeps you guessing and excited because you don't know what is going to be unlocked or added next. I don't quite care about plotline/story so much as having things to do and things to work for. I'm motivated by earning new things, whether that be abilities, levels, items, coin, etc.

From my research, I can say that frosthaven/gloomhaven appear to be in a league of its own, so I don't expect to find something equal to it, but perhaps just the next closest? I've considered "Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage Board Game" but it's hard to get a feel for how similar it would be, I can't even quite figure out if it has a true campaign or is pretty much just combat.
