    Job/Quest Generator - Community-sourced content

    I don't use Campaign Logger at present. I don't even run games! :LOL: All my spare time goes into working on (and promoting) Nexus3

    Job/Quest Generator - Community-sourced content

    Update on the "Quick and Dirty Job Generator" project: For some time now I've wanted to return to this project, with a view to expanding the very loose descriptive results into more detailed results. This generator produces a set of ideation prompts to seed an adventure of whatever length...

    Job/Quest Generator - Community-sourced content

    Thanks @ELF I recall seeing that MadLib gerator somewhere in the last couple of years... can't recall where though. The Google form I've linked in my call-out post logs responses in a Google sheet, so I'll have a proper data table to work with, once the form starts getting more responses. Only...

    Job/Quest Generator - Community-sourced content

    Inspired by @JohnnFour 's community-sourcing efforts for the 5-Room Dungeon project, I'd like to community-source a bunch of content to populate some genre-specific variants on this generator structure The form uses the term 'Job' to refer to any call to action involving an initiator (client /...

    LFG Looking For Game Links and Resources

    Sorry @Stephan Hornick it was a calculated risk that this post wouldn't be too much of an obscure (or mis-leading) reference. Not quite a marketing fail - perhaps just a fumble, I hope - but it was fun and comforting to know that a few die-hards got the reference. I'll be more direct from now on :)

    List of Digital GM Tools

    Thanks for the heads-up @Sklore_jp - we weren't aware of that development (or the parent platform, Demiplane) but after a detailed review of both, we're confident that what we're doing is sufficiently novel. Demiplane looks pretty good and might be sufficient for many online-focussed games as...

    LFG Looking For Game Links and Resources

    About Nexus3 Nexus3 is all about community. Every community needs three key ingredients to stay alive: people inspired by a common theme or ethos, a place to gather, and a means of facilitating those gatherings. Our people are a diverse bunch, united by a common love of adventure...

    List of Digital GM Tools

    While I’m on the promo / call-out train of thought… Nexus3 is looking for creative contributors for our emerging TTRPG community service. Our core functionality provides a unified interface to help players and GMs organise the games they love to play. But as our mission statement affirms...

    List of Digital GM Tools

    We’re a couple of weeks away from alpha testing http://nexus3.games and one of our roadmap items is integrations with complementary services. Our first cab off the rank will be Campaign Logger, thanks to the enthusiastic support of @JohnnFour and @JochenL . We’d like to know what other services...

    Star Wars Saga Edition to ICRPG Conversion

    Thanks @ExileInParadise - that's helpful. The main challenge is in the sheer volume of choice in SWd20 vs more limited choices implied in ICRPG. A 'pairing down' exercise is inevitable I suspect. In ICRPG, all heroes begin with just one ABILITY, whereas SWd20 characters start (level 1) with 3x...

    Star Wars Saga Edition to ICRPG Conversion

    I've used a bunch of different rule systems over the years. Being fairly heavily-weightd to the Story & World corners of the WoA Triangle, I've always taken a 'minimal rules' approach to my games. Index Card RPG is really starting to have some solid appeal for me as THE system for running all my...

    LFG Looking For Game Links and Resources

    @JochenL @JohnnFour I'm curious about which service you think might best interface with our API (or vice-versa)? Campaign Community or Campaign Logger? I'm guessing the latter, but perhaps we'll have to wait and see once you've seen nexus3 feature set. If nothing else, some healthy...

    How long do your sessions usually last?

    I've just been searching to see if anyone has raised a specific topic on this, as I'm having similar concerns. New thread here: https://campaign-community.com/index.php?threads/screens-at-the-table.1435/

    Screens at the table

    Hi CC GMs, just wanted to ask how GMs feel about players on laptops / tablets at the table (ie. face-to-face games)? Personally I'm a fan, mainly because I use roll20 as the game table, character sheet manager and (if needed) dice roller. It gives us a lot of advantages, especially as we keep...

    Random World Map Generator

    And in this morning's delvings, as I attempt to cobble together a bunch of solutions to plug together for my world-building pleasure, I discovered this example, that uses a bunch of technology listed in one of the wiki's pages. Fellow Melbournian, Chris Rosser is also crafting a similar tool for...

    Random World Map Generator

    Just discovered this site (Azgaar) independently through some google searches and raced back here to check it hadn't been shared already... turns out it has - thanks @JohnnFour - but OMG, what a cracker! can't believe no-one has posted any positive (or other) comments in this thread. This is an...
