That's OK. For some reason I've gone off 5e recently anyway. 😉

This games were failures. My fault obviously. But now I have to concetrate to transfering my OGMW games here, so I will archive these ones. My appologies. The game will be archived soon.

I have no idea. I had an idea that my game will be over by then and then I would run something as one chapter of Roots game. Somewhat oddly the stuff he gave me I wouldn't have a month but few weeks. I'm working through possessed Dragons, while not knowing will the Dragon be Big Bad.That's all I know at the moment.

If you're taking over the Pool of Radiance game, is this idea going on hold for now?

Testing some dice   1d6x4, hovering over the roll you can see: 2, 3, 3, 1 4d6, hovering over the dice you can see: 1, 3, 6 ,1 40d6, hovering over the dice you can see:   or for 4d6 drop the lowest 4,3,2,3 = 10 3,5,3,3 = 11 1,2,4,5 = 11 6,4,2,5 = 15 1,3,6,5 = 14 4,6,3,2 = 13   3,1,2,5 = 10 2,2,2,2 = 6 4,1,2,6 = 12 5,4,2,1 = 11   So the dice engine is as bad at rolling dice as real dice are.   1d20+8 + 1d6+2 rolled 1 and 2, which should be 9 and 4 but the result shows up as 13. There isn't a way to separate rolls in one go yet. Must roll to hit and then damage.

You mean after working whole day at 100 degrees you don't have energy for posting on interenet I am shocked an appalled ser, and completely agree even if  I'm on holiday atm 😂

fwiw my gaming time has absolutely sucked this summer and I can’t really pick it up until September 

Probably a human or elf wizard type. But honestly, if life does not lighten up for me I may not be able to add this game. All my gams are suffering for my lack of participation as it is

For now we have a living tree monk, human cleric (I think) and half-orc barbarian. We're waiting for @Root to get back from the camping and see what he is making.

What is everyone else creating for their PCs?

This is all messed around with by using the Source button.   It can obviously get a lot more complicated and you can play around with images and tables and stuff.

The important thing about the image is this bit: <img alt="Builder" data-loaded="true" data-src="https://mwbaldrcdkstack-ipbuploads6f377ba5-6asvxg6ywium.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/monthly_2022_06/image.png.332d83f9aac1977a280f29cf3bdfaf95.png" hspace="20" src="https://test.myth-weavers.com/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" style="float:left;width:100px;height:auto;">   Ignore the alt text, the spacer, and cut the long string down for the image and you have this:   <img src="imgurl.png" hspace="20" style="float:left;width:100px;height:auto;">   style="float" means it float around the text. "left" means it sits to the left of the text. "width" sets the width of the image.  

It's standard HTML. This is what I used for the simple posting format for Builder:   <p>     <span style="color:#27ae60;"><strong>~Posting Format~</strong></span> </p> <p>     &nbsp; </p> <p>     <img alt="Builder" data-loaded="true" data-src="https://mwbaldrcdkstack-ipbuploads6f377ba5-6asvxg6ywium.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/monthly_2022_06/image.png.332d83f9aac1977a280f29cf3bdfaf95.png" hspace="20" src="https://test.myth-weavers.com/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" style="float:left;width:100px;height:auto;"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong><a href="https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=2650933" rel="external nofollow"><span style="color:#27ae60;">Builder</span></a></strong></span>, <span style="font-size:10px;">Woodborn monk level 1</span> </p> <p>     <span style="font-size:10px;">hp 10/10, AC18 (<span class="mwooc"><span class="mwooc-shown">Ironwood Armor.</span><span class="mwooc-hidden">When you aren&rsquo;t wearing armour, your AC is 13 + your Dexterity modifier.&nbsp;</span></span> 13 +3 Dex +2 Wis), Move: 35&#39;</span> </p> <p>     <span style="font-size:10px;"><span class="mwooc"><span class="mwooc-shown">Rooted Resistance (Major Feature)</span><span class="mwooc-hidden">When you take damage, you can use your reaction to gain resistance to that instance of damage.

I don't love the site so far either, but I want to reserve judgement until I get a lot more familiar with it. Right now i don't like it purely because it is change and I can't find anything I want to find and am confused by the layout, especially on mobile.   As for making it VTT. I agree that droves of people want that, but not those of us that enjoy the essence of what Play by Post is, which is writing and actual role playing. To me, playing in a live game on Roll 20 or Fantasy Grounds is an entirely different experience. They are fun but they are different and I see them as apples and bananas, two entirely different fruits.  

Friendly Notice: As a family man/teacher-in-summer my posting frequency will significantly be reduced until September. I'll post when I can of course, but it will be more like an occasional drip as opposed to my normal roaring river!

They are converting all the old stuff to pdfs over here. So anything that you still really want, has to be copied and pasted manually. But the old stuff will still be accessible as pdf. 

I see. That makes a ton of sense. Well I guess if this is what it has to be then so be it, right? That is too bad for the old site.    I wonder if they could clone the original and move all archived threads and forums there to help with the storage and usage issues. Or is that not a problem? I mean, the growth potential is stagnant at best. No large wave of new users are coming in and flooding the site with games, threads, and character sheets. There has to be so many old game forums just sitting in storage.

Part of the problem with the old site is that I think it was ‘physically’ getting too big for the current architecture. There was was no way to keep growing and expand. One the mods also said that it is kind of being held together by bandaids and duct tape right now, and that can’t last forever either, otherwise another system failure like a few years ago is an inevitability. 

Sure, I figured that much. All that extra work would have an added cost to it, but I bet if they did a Kickstarter and offer that graphic stuff as an extra service with a subscription fee then that could be feasible. I guess in my head I'm looking at it like Mythweavers is exactly what it is and many would agree that they like it like that, and this new site is not really better than the original and maybe a step backwards, so if they are going to build something new then look to the future for sustainability and growth. Otherwise they are just going to have to do this all over again in a few years when other sites are already way ahead of the game and have taken away some of Mythweavers players. You need something special to keep the community engaged, and we already know what we are getting when we come to play on Mythweavers, so if you are going to make the effort to create something new it should WOW! the users and make them excited about the future of the site.  

Well, that's more/less what roll20 and Fantasy Grounds are. Making that for PbP format? I don't think it would be sustainable. Now site is viable because it's literally forum but when we get into building some kind of graphic into it I doubt they could do it for free.

I have no concept how hard coding is but if they could make a site that feels more like a virtual table top with animated dice rollers and customizable miniatures then it would be a blast to play.   I figure that type of coding could be outsourced to different people or companies and then thrown into the site. I could be totally wrong on how that stuff works but I have seen some sites that have 3D terrain and miniatures. Sure there is a fee or subscription but everything has a subscription based nowadays.    Feel free to correct me if I am wrong in my thinking, but I just figure with all advancements in graphics and apps we can see a really upgraded version of PbP.   I was telling a friend last night that the main page of this site feels like a flashback to AOL of Prodigy Online. Anyone remember that? 

Thanks for that. Cool format BTW. I think I will use it.

@rauhric thankfully it was still on the site (first post yey me) I tried to replicate my MW 5E app as close as possible. It obviously not 1 to 1, it's kinda close enough. Only thing is to place your pic instead of mine. Everything else is easily copy/pasted

@rauhric Welcome to the party, about 80% of what you said was already mentioned and we are all waiting for a change. As for the concrete question I know a bit about pics but never tried the text (It's all in that icon Table) but before you drive yourself crazy as I am check Homebrew part of the forum. You might find template that's like 70% there and then experiment the rest of the way.
