    Filter options for generator

    Is there a way to force a result for a generator? I was looking at the five-room dungeon generator for an "apprentice-level" dungeon but had to reset or reroll several times to get one. then many many more to get a second to compare. If there was a way to filter t

    How Do You Vet New Players For Your Game?

    Sadly I have had no word on why most quit. One day they are all smiles and compliments and next gone with the wind... I had one write a novel of a response saying my vetting process was two long-winded and boring and if that's what it took to join, he wasn't. All I said was my system works, good...

    Player Knowledge vs Character Knowledge

    I'm in kind of the opposite situation. My game is on a VTT so it is very easy to whisper to the individual players with information. The players can also whisper between players as well. I have the issue where the players are not metagaming. Each of the characters has individual pieces of an...

    How to Cancel / unsubscribe Your Campaign Logger Subscription

    I've tried the campaign logger for a few months now and cannot justify the cost per use at this time. I am in the new Adventure Building Master Class and with that, I have a few access to the new CL beta. I will continue to learn using that format (with its limitations) and if I change my mind...

    How Do You Vet New Players For Your Game?

    How do you deal with a party situation Keeping the story flowing if the players change each week? I can see it working fine in a town scenario but in a dungeon crawl?

    That would work fine for one-shots but how about longer adventures or campaigns?

    Question of the Week: What’s your favorite monster?

    I know I'm not unique in this but when I was first learning AD&D back in the late 70's the worst monsters were the PCs themselves. We, from our own inexperience, almost killed ourselves in more ways than the DM could even hope to attempt.

    How Do You Vet New Players For Your Game?

    I am 8 sessions into my latest campaign on Roll20 and have already gone through 5 players that only last one or two sessions then quit. I have a core of 3 players that have lasted from the start and it's getting frustrating trying to find good, reliable players. My adventures are geared towards...

    How long do your sessions usually last?

    My sessions are about 4 hours of playtime online. That's 4 hours for the players, more for me as I rehash the game into a post so I can line up the next week's game.

    How to improve your descriptions?

    I try not to make it a formula or recipe. Players are quick to catch on. Mix it up so in one instance you may give a full description with the important parts in the middle; the next time the important part may be at the end. I also don't give all five senses every time. For example, if you are...

    Question: Is there a limit to number of entries in a log?

    I know there is a size limit for a log post but is there a limit to the number of posts within a campaign log? I just finished my first game using Campaign Logger and a three hour session produced over 128 log entries and I wasn't even logging at full potential. If I average 126 entries per...

    Question: How Can One Identify One Specific Post?

    Is there an ID tag for each log post? I am trying to add a tag referring back to one specific post. If I use that tag more than once it brings back all the posts with that tag. Does each post have a unique identifying tag?
