Blog - Adding Custom Cards on #OwlbearRodeo

TL;DR: some reminders to myself on the things I will forget despite the decent documentation as I created a set of custom initiative cards for the #CoriolisTheGreatDark #ttrpg on the #VTT

Adding custom cards on Owlbear Rodeo

This post is more a reminder for myself on how to do this. The help guidance for the Decks extension is good, but I had some key learnings t...

Je prends enfin le temps de parler de mon expérience avec Owlbear Rodeo pour Dans l'ombre d'Excalibur, un jdr propulsé par l'apocalypse que je suis en train de créer.

Cette table virtuelle pour jouer en ligne est surtout prévue par des jeux avec battlemaps et tokens se déplaçant sur une grille. Mais ce n'est pas une obligation, et la possibilité de désactiver la grille et le "snapping" ouvrent des perspectives pour d'autres façons de jouer.
Alors petit disclaimer, je ne l'ai utilisé que pour une seule partie donc c'est plutôt un retour à chaud.

Pour cette partie, j'avais besoin:
* de lancer des dés
* de fiches de perso pré-faites (c'était un oneshot)
* de gérer des cartes créées pour l'occasion
* d'afficher des infos partagées (textes des actions)
* de taper du texte en cours de séance, et que les joueureuses puissent soit le lire soit le taper directement
* que les joueureuses puissent rejoindre la partie sans avoir de compte

Tout cela, l'outil me l'a permis, parfois avec l'installation d'une extension.
Liste des extensions que j'ai installées:
* Marked! (pour la gestion des états, facultatif)
* Viewport presets (des raccourcis qui zooment sur des zones de la scène, très utile)
* Dashboard Maker (pour les fiches de perso avec lancer de dés rapide, indispensable)
* Dice+ (pour les lancers de dés, indispensable)
* Decked! (pour la gestion des cartes, indispensable)
* Set Default View (pour une arrivée sur une vue commune, très chouette)
* Journal! (pour les textes partagés, indispensable)

J'ai fait le choix de rendre les choses jolies et j'ai pu créer des post-it parchemin qui se comportent comme les post-it par défaut, j'ai beaucoup aimé.

Sur l'utilisation en partie de toute cela, ça s'est globalement bien passé, mais il y avait parfois des ralentissements pour certaines personnes. Donc à tester davatange pour cet aspect là. Sinon, les différents outils ont été pratiques côté MJ et plutôt simples à prendre en main côté PJ, cela nous a permis de nous concentrer sur le jeu.
Je vous partage une impression écran de la table de jeu utilisée.

@Sumire Ich würde mir ein Dienst wünschen, der alternativ wie #OwlbearRodeo, #Roll20 oder andere VTT's läuft. Nur nicht ganz so komplex.

Einfach paar Battelmaps Hochladen, paar Tokens erstellen. Und etwas damit alle spielenden was zum zeichnen haben.

Das ganze zum selbst hosten. Ohne login. Bekommen die IP zugeschickt und gut ist. Obwohl, Wenn ich da grade drüber nachdenken, irgendwas, damit nicht plötzlich mehr als die Spielenden die drauf sollen, drauf sind.

Me, ~2 weeks ago: The Yester Hill map in #CurseOfStrahd is unusable for gameplay. Are there good fan-made versions?

Me, 1 week ago: Fan-made maps don't cover much & many are not usable either. I'll make a few 50x50s that I can use for different parts of the hill…

Me, 3 days ago: I like placing lots of these maps in one scene in #OwlbearRodeo, but they don't line up right…

Me, now: So I redid the whole thing in 35 tiles of 50x50 5-foot squares…

Still my favorite light-weight, hassle free, free/cheap, VTT platform.

How to Get Started in Owlbear Rodeo

Earlier today, #DawnOfTheRangers #StarWarsRPG campaign continues with maps on #OwlbearRodeo for the first time ever. The Rangers, Spotchka Squad, miraculously saved over a hundred slave miners without losing even one, even with two E-Webs trained on them.

I am impressed.

Khairul Hisham on Instagram: "#StarWarsRPG #DawnoftheRangers S01E24 "Rescue at Bagan Deem" Location: Maramere Spotchka Squad aboard their Omicron-class attack shuttle Spotchka Starstreak take to the air during the evening thunderstorm in an attempt to throw the claim jumper pirates into chaos while Gev Dyson approaches the stygium mine on foot. He scopes out the 100+ slaves at the mine entrance flanked by 6 guards. After pirate leader Startay Nosk threatens to kill half of their slave miners, Gev fires, but only wounding one guard. The E-Web repeaters open fire at the slaves, but Zor Draco swoops down with the Starstreak, covering them with the ship's shields and hull. Kirino Mak at the rear cannon takes out the E-Webs & their gunners in a double explosion. More fire from the guards lance out towards Gev, but he dodges and fells the guard on the other side of the compound. The slaves scream in distress at the carnage. Pev Tekko, guided by Zor's fine piloting, takes out more guards with the forward cannons. Olemric Cognus opens the cockpit side hatch, looks out carefully, sees the first guard Gev shot trying to hide under their ship. So he shoots him in the head. No lightsaber needed. The remaining Nikto guards retreat into the mine while firing at Gev, who with his Model-500 repeating blaster, drops both guards from distance. No guard succeeded in killing the slaves. So, Zor lands in the middle of the compound. Pev notices a Rodian tech trying to make a break for a Mobquet landspeeder. A barrage from the forward guns blows the speeder into a fireball. At the same time, Gev launched himself at the Rodian & immobilises him with a Teräs Käsi move. The freed slaves are grateful for the team's efforts. Nosk vows revenge against the Spotchkas as a BTL-B Y-wing takes off and escapes. Apparently, the Pentastar Alignment is paying these pirates. Zor calms the slaves down, asking them about the pirates. Kirino heals the wounded. Olem contacts Point Modie to help transport the freed slaves. Pev takes care of the ship while Gev interrogates the Rodian prisoner TO BE CONTINUED #starwarsd6 #rpg #ttrpg #ttrpgs #roleplayinggame #hishgraphicsactualplay"

We're using #OwlbearRodeo to track our action dice pools for #Fallout.

As we played, we quickly realized we needed a way to track the dice available to spend. #Fallout2d20

TIL that Owlbear Rodeo source *was* released, but under a non-Free license that explicitly disallows modifications, even local ones.

So instead of helping to build a community around their product, they've fulfilled a promise to the community, but only barely but ensured that the thing they released was a dead end, as they promised no updates, offer no support officially or unofficially, and as I said, banned modifications.

To me this burns through the good will Owlbear Rodeo built up. :(
