The long-lived TTRPG campaign I play in, The Spinach Inquisition, is an online group, so we've always used Roll20 to play. Most of my other various one-shots, short-lived campaigns, and even a couple in-person events have all used it too.

But, I've had a license for a self-hosted VTT since 2020: Foundry VTT. I used it pretty minimally -- until now! I'm setting up a whole campaign in there, and want to write down some of my thoughts as I get started.

This post will cover a range of items, from the techical to GMing.

Here's an article clipped from the Greydirge Chronicle regarding an incident we had during out last session.

Since the One D&D playtest started, redditors have been calling out about the sky falling because the playtest material had not been released under the Open Game License (OGL).

People pointed out that none of the other Unearthed Arcana playtest material has been released under the OGL, but without WotC saying anything about their intention, nobody really knew what the licensing for OneDnD would be.

Yesterday, they posted on the DnD Beyond forms about their intentions for One D&D’s licensing model. I have some thoughts.

Ayeron materialized from the mists of the Mournland on 20 Olarune 995 YK, exactly one year after the Day of Mourning. They emerged nearly as they are found today: fully grown, wearing the trench coat of a Cyrian officer, able to speak several languages, and without a single memory from before that moment...

This is a short story from our current Dungeons & Dragons campaign. This is the moment when my warlock greedily took up an artifact after passing its guardian’s trial.

Torghast, the Tower of the Damned, is a rouge-like (ish) set of dungeons in WoW: Shadowlands. I finished the “hard mode” last night and got my Maw horse, so I wanted to write up some of my thoughts on the feature.

I started Baldur’s Gate 3 on Tuesday afternoon. This morning, I “completed” the first chapter, which is the end of the story in early access. So here are my thoughts on it so far!
