I run a campaign using Broken Compass system in 2010 setting, and for my next session, my players use a classic train like any other, where they end in a fistfight. I looking on internet and patreon, but can't find it. I want 3 map, on with many seat, restaurant car and the last one with private room and a toilet (it's important because the fight start inside the toilet like in MI6). I don't want a magic train, western or futur, just a train.

Please do your due diligence before backing projects by either of these creators. They have established a consistent pattern of advertising PDFs for their campaigns, only to deliver practically unusable Google Docs instead then telling backers to make a PDF themselves. Their VTT tokens are also nothing of the sort, just a bunch of images pasted into a Google Doc.

They claim it's a mistake, that they'll fix it going forward, etc, but they have been called out on it before and done nothing to change. They have admitted that using Google Docs was always their intention and that they were knowingly, falsely advertising PDFs.

They also claim that all of their content is made, edited, polished etc. by humans, but it's obvious from even a glance at their "final products" that they heavily use AI.

They are mass reporting comments on their past and current campaigns in an attempt to cover it up.

If you backed one of their previous campaigns, please report it. If you see this and you are backing one of their current campaigns, I urge you to reconsider.

I’m making a dungeon crawler card game in Tabletop Simulator that I’m proud of called Dark Shadows (Link if you want to play https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=367601402)

anyway, I need some boss ideas and stuff and I also want feedback if you play it. Here’s a summary if you don’t wanna play or you wanna get a gameplay idea: You choose a hero class (each hero has a starting weapon, a starting armor, and a health value, and some have abilities.) and you fight through the dungeon (by flipping over cards until a normal or door version are drawn) and the combat is simple, you play 3 attack cards from your hand to get over their defense and kill them (bosses (ones that have health) take 1 damage (unless they have 0, then they die).) and put them in the discard and once you kill all threats in a room you can discard all cards in play by using a door and repeat until you kill the final boss at the bottom of the dungeon. By the way, I am not asking you to play the game specifically, I just need help from you guys, whether ideas or feedback.

Hey everyone,

I built a realistic 3D dice roller for iPhone and iPad called Nice Dice Roller 3D, and I think it can be useful for Daggerheart and other tabletop/RPG sessions.

It supports D4, D6, D8, D10, D12 and D20 dice, realistic physics, multiple dice skins and backgrounds, collision sounds, and automatic sum calculation.

The app now also has native iPad support with rotation, Game Center leaderboards, and a new Pig dice game mode that can be played solo against AI or online with friends.

The Freestyle mode is the part most relevant for tabletop games: you can roll different dice types on a virtual table, move them around, clear the table, and use it as a simple dice companion.

I’d be happy to hear feedback from tabletop players if anyone gives it a try.

I’ve been printing some tavern NPCs lately because I feel like background characters are easy to overlook in tabletop games.

Heroes and monsters get all the attention, but the tavern regulars, servers, bouncers, weird merchants, drunks, performers, and shady corner-sitters are usually what make a town feel alive.

These are meant to be the kinds of minis you can drop into a tavern scene before the players even know who matters yet.

A little sneak peek into the final testing phase of the buildings for the Fold-Flat Paper City of Tarok kickstarter project.

Made by Humans! Hand-crafted creations!

The Blacksmith is taking shape, and the forge already burns bright.

A glimpse into the final testing process.

I just finished a one-shot module for the Dread ttrpg system, just wanted to show it off a little!

Intermission is a tragic divine comedy inspired by Dante's Inferno, found footage horror tapes, and the Sailor Jerry / rubber hose art styles of 50's cartoons. It has 63 pages to pull from, lending to innumerable play-throughs. An ouroboros story engine with 9 levels of Hell, dozens of demons to barter with or hide from, traps galore, and too much Dante's Inferno lore to shake a proverbial stick at. Plus a section where your party can make INSANE weapons, giving you the power to rip through and tear into demons like curdled butter.

You play as a group of anthropomorphized food-based friends descending through the layers of a very specific, very cheesy Hell, guided by a grizzled can of Vegemite, to ultimately be judged by a cartoon demon eating birthday cake alone in the dark. All the while, haunted by hands that reach from everywhere into mouths that lead to nowhere.

The Pixie Styx is a neon roiling nightmare you must cross on a black licorice raft. The Tres Furies are milky witches that will curdle your innards. Rock Candy harpies will shatter off and slash you to ribbons. The Malabologna is ten levels of pure baloney.  Literally. The Violence Rings are onion in nature, overwhelming everywhere else. And all while a cartoon demon sits and waits to pass judgement, eating birthday cake in the dark with Lucifer.

Hopefully you can get out of Hell in time to catch the end of the movie!

Hi everyone, I’m working on a fantasy strategy battle board inspired by tabletop wargames.

The game is here: https://playtactum.com

The idea is to keep the battlefield readable at a glance: clear hexes, visible unit positions, movement/attack indicators, timers, and simple terrain. I’m trying to balance a digital game interface with a tabletop miniature feel.

I’d really appreciate feedback on the board readability:

Does it feel clear which unit is on which hex?
Are the colors and outlines easy to understand?
Does the board feel too busy, or still readable?
Would this style feel appealing for a fantasy tactical battle game?

I’m also wondering whether this kind of game might be more interesting as a classic turn-based system, where one player takes their turn first and then the other player responds, instead of a more real-time battle flow.

Thanks for any feedback!

For the next session of Broken Compass with my players, i want to send them in North Korea to win an artifact in an illegal auction, like in greats movies, with the animator, with Rich people throw high prices like nothing for the biggest statue or gem. I don't know how make the auction mini-game. I want them to win the auction without thinking it's a easy win, or a script win.

And Don't worry, my players are send by a Triade's big guy to buy it, and this man give them enough money for winning the auction.
