Wow! You put in a lot of work on your ruleset and campaign! For the journal, ctrl-d will always reset the cursor to the standard font - that's real handy to know. Plus the journals also support an in-line dice roller called intrinsic dice which allows you to type dice directly into the journal (pg 47 of the manual), as opposed to the dice roller at the bottom. There is also a dice setting under general settings where you can have the dice roller output more detail. Both dice rollers can support pretty complex expressions: for example you could type 2d20 + 2 - 2d6 +1 and it will work it all out for you! There were definitely a few bugs on show there that weren't your fault - those are on me. I have raised some bugs to investigate and deal with them. Sojour tends to save when you close it, which is why I think your characteristics went walkies after Sojour crashed. I'm going to change it to perform more saves to state - to ensure no loss of data. You are right, the map size limitations are with regard to importing - though both sizes act differently. Max Map Size pixels, will set the maximum map size that Sojour will import your maps at. If your maps are larger, it will automatically downscale them for you. Whereas Max Map Size Mb, simply prevents imports when a map is over a certain file size. It might be worth lowering the max pixel size if you are getting many crashes and let Sojour auto-downscale. The manual describes these settings in more detail on page 102. That said, based on what I saw in the video, I wonder if there is some kind of memory leak? I'll need to investigate! In the meantime have fun! :)

It seems to be working but windows hates it, it breaks windows audio if you do things like turn off the plugin requiring a restart to get it back. When I open it up I get the message it didnt apply the effects to my mic, changing settings crashes windows so I open it up and its got my mic selected, I press ok which sometimes breaks my mic again. Its a janky program as when I try to use it in pubg it firstly appears not to work then after about 30 seconds it does work. Adjusting the suppression threshold doesnt make any percievable difference either. Are there any alternatives to this program?

Had a blast playing! Just realized that I made a mistake with the scroll. I should have rolled to see if I could actually cast it successfully. I treated it like a potion which is not correct. You should roll to see if you successfully cast and if you aren't successful then you roll on the fail to cast table. If you are, you get the spell off. Either way I believe after you cast, the monster attacks first and then you get to attack. Also, you can only use a scroll in the first round of combat.

@LordGwydion
@LordGwydion 2 ай бұрын
Its very similar to 5e so you could figure it out searching 5e effects but it super easy. Feel free to hop in my discord and ask questions if you get stuck. discord.gg/kVM2QvYy The steps are as follows: 1 - Create a new spell 2 - In the Spell record click on the "other" tab 3 - Right click anywhere in that tab and when the radial menu pops up click "add effect" and then "effect" 4 - Click on the magnifying glass to open the effect record. 5 - Under DESCRIPTION/CONDITIONS/MODIFIERS, type in (without quotes) "DMG: 1d4" (or whatever damage die you are adding backstab to). 6 - Under TARGETING/EXPENDITURE, set Targeting to "Self" and Expend? to "On next roll". Done! Let me know if you run into problems.

Just finished watching! Love how you keep the game/video flowing all the way through a live session, that's something I struggle myself when recording games. Regarding the images on the map, I never considered the uploaded image assets being used directly on the map as more than props.. but I can totally see now that they would also be very useful as standalone notes. I will keep this in mind for the next update. In the meantime you might want to look into the dungeons/zone system. Just create a new dungeon and you will see the zones. I have a video about dungeons here on KZbin.

Hi in Ker-Net I cannot get my head around trap doors. This is how I'm playing it for trap doors. I skip Perception check because I do not have a set of Thieves Tools just a crowbar "+10 on Athletics Check" so far. I've been choosing to dodge the trap, and noted the type of trap on the D10 roll for future contact with the door that's trapped. If I'm reading the rules correctly if dodged the Trap I forfeit searching (Scavenge) the room until I successfully removed the trap? Am I even close to interpreting the rules on Trap's correctly on pages 104-105?
@blackoathentertainment5617
@blackoathentertainment5617 2 ай бұрын
Hey! So the procedure for traps is as follows: you first determine if there's a trap. If there is one, you roll Perception to see if you spot it. If you spot it, you can attempt to disarm it. If you trigger it (either due to you not spotting it, or by failing to disarm it), you deal with it: this usually means you get one last chance to avoid it( Dodge check, etc.), and if you don't you receive damage. Scavenging isn't affected at all by any of the traps rules.

I'm trying to get the flow and rules down before I add it in. * I need to update the Nemesis track before the next session which I will do at the start of the session. * Alex did respond that the Manuals table reference I encountered at 01:02:55 is a mistake. I get to roll on the Crafting Table for it before next session. * Well this was a BIG miss.... I just read that if you are being cautious you automatically detect traps! That would have then at least allowed me a Dex check to see if I could have avoided it...

Not sure about combining two outputs but you can have two different inputs (playback devices) where you could have say music playback on one input, game sounds on another input and send both so you can hear them and only one so obs can hear them. Or, you can have different tracks in obs so that all audio is recorded except the music. Difficult to explain everything in a reply here but definitely possible.

@LordGwydion
@LordGwydion 3 ай бұрын
Hey! So exhaustion occurs when something in the results of a roll tells you to take exhaustion. Think of toughness a bit like temporary hit points. Most damage affects your toughness first unless the results tell you explicitly to reduce your health. Once all your toughness is gone you then start taking damage to your health. Its harder to recover health than toughness. For example immediately after a fight you recover 1D4 toughness. Hope that helps!
