It’s my tough week after treatment, so I’m still reading this off and on. What’s your favourite AD&D book?

Ping Only Some Players On Roll 20 (API Script)

Dynamic lighting is one of those features that is really cool about online play. It’s not just a visual trick; it’s a constraint that creates tension. Not knowing what’s on the other side of a wall matters. It forces decisions, and increases tension.

But if your players don’t all have the same information (maybe they’re opposed to each other, or they’re in different parts of the dungeon), that starts to break. A ping on the map works, sure, but it broadcasts to all players. It tells everyone something happened, including the person who wasn’t supposed to know.

I found Hint, a seven year old script by B. Lawson, that worked pretty well. It lets the GM signal something to specific characters. But it only worked with characters that were in the “journal”. Not tokens, not players.

Tying everything to journal characters works fine if everybody’s fully using Roll20, and you have full character sheets for each player. But that falls apart if some players at your table are using D&D Beyond or paper sheets. This version lets you target by player name or token.

This updated fork now supports using player or tokens to send messages to (you probably want to use players), and has a lot of customizability built in, including a way to change the message or recipients when you run it.

Lots more detail about how to use it (and the script itself) at GitHub; you can see a demo of it in action on YouTube or embedded below.

So, I had my the conclusion of my improv class yesterday, which was to do an actual show for friends and others. And while I've done improv for crowds bigger than yesterdays before during the sunday jams, this was still a different vibe. While the jams are busier, almost everyone there will also go on stage at some point that night, and nobody is really there to see you specifically, so having people come to a venue to see you, specifically, perform, felt quite different.

That said, it was a great show, and we got a lot of genuine laughs, and while I could wax poetically about how each and every one of my classmates brought their A-game, and made me laugh like hell when I wasn't on stage, I will quickly mention my favourite moment on stage.

As this is a performance for people doing the first level game, our games were pretty basic, although one thing I noticed were that our "talking" scenes often got a bit too chaotic  to really hit home, so I was slightly nervous waiting for my talking scene, although the nerves were lessened by having a successful non-talking scene before.

When the talking scene came, someone, not even one of my friends, suggested "Dungeons and Cabins", which felt just too fitting for me. Then one of my scene mates started asking what that was, obviously never having heard of Dungeons and  Dragons, or even TTRPGs before. Taking that as a cue, I started the scene, taking the role of a DM trying to explain to people what DnD was, and that I was going to walk them through how the game worked and to build their characters with them.

Picking up on what I was laying down, the woman who had no idea what DnD was, asked if she could be a dragon, to which I explained that no, dragons are not a playable species, as they have a special place in the game. She wouldn't take no as an answer, and the other players quickly joined her, as kids that wanted to play dragons. Often screaming "FIRE" at me, whenever I tried to explain why it wasn't possible, and me getting more exasperated as we went back and forth for a bit.

The scene ended with me giving up, and saying that I will rewrite the campaign so that they could be dragons, but that it will take a few hours as I spent the last month preparing their campaign, to which they did one more super enthusiastic "FIRE!!" at me, which blew me off the stage, ending the scene.

After the show, my scene partners said they felt a bit bad that they gave me so much shit, but honestly, they reacted perfectly, as the scene wouldn't have been half as fun for me, or the audience, if they didn't, and I told them as such. And this is how I got, what I consider, my best group talking scene so far.

It's going to be weird to have Saturdays free again, but I'm not going to stop doing improv. I'll be continuing doing jams, and then after a month or two, I will enrol for a second level class, and I'm even considering starting a group with one of my class mates. Because, besides all the mental health benefits improv has had for me, it's also the most fun I've had this year so far, and I want to keep that going. And that the Berlin improv scene is one of the most open, friendly, supportive, and least toxic groups I've encountered in a while definitely helped with  making it that fun.

Always good to get a gift, and even better to get some work in.
