Is there any real reason why displacer beasts need to all be based on felines? I'm working out this idea for a "displacer zoo" and I wanted to use other animals like rabbits, wolves, zebras and elephants. Help would be appreciated maybe some stating (want to use 5E) and pics would be grand too.

I want to run another RPG but I am sick of 5e.
What is another class-based RPG that features miniatures in a dungeon on a square grid tipping around and doing attacks, that is different from and more interesting than 5e?

In Germany we have that traditional boardgame called (pic_related)"Mensch, ärger dich nicht! " (Man, don't be vexed!) Does that game even exist in your culturally common boardgameroaster? I'm curious

Anyone know how to filter out the trash on Roll20 and find something worthwhile?

Hey all.

Long story short, as a first time DM, my players are highly likely to encounter their first city in our campaign tomorrow. They've each been led to the island in which this is all taking place with the promise of a mysterious and vague treasure. They spent much of the last session navigating through a doppelganger's ruse and a creepy village, but this is their first encounter with the proper civilization on the island.

Though we're not a horror campaign per se, I'm planned most of the outer villages and territories be cursed or under some creepy type of enchantment. With that said, I'd really like to have all of the cities in this campaign to have a different vibe: a more civilized, political version of the dark forces marauding over the less-populous regions.

My question is: how to do this? I've got a few ideas: there will be a masquerade hosted by necromancers, a governor's council infiltrated by doppelgangers, and a city guard that seems to be quietly and efficiently making homeless people disappear in the night. But how can I give a general sense of menace and discomfort to my players when walking around the city?

My plan is for the city to currently be under lockdown due to bomb threats a la pic related, but how can I set this up with encounters and adventures for my players? What are different types of plot hooks and NPCs that can help bring them into this vision of a city under siege?

>Also feel free to post random tips on cities you've played in, what made them memorable, and how to build a convincing urban civ in a fantasy world

What are some red flags to avoid when looking for a group to play with on roll20?
I'd play with people in person, but everyone I used to play with has either moved away or doesn't play anymore, and the nearest FLGS is over an hour's drive away, so roll20 is seemingly my only real option.
What do you consider "avoid at all costs" when you're looking for a roll20 group?

When do you think it is appropriate to, for lack of a better term on my part, use a bait and switch on your players about the subject of the game?

As an example, take the image <
The book is about a bunch of superheroes running around half of which have useless powers in a zombie apocalypse, and a few of which may have caused the apocalypse.
With your average players, if you told them that the game would be about zombies, they would come with a character decked out to deal with zombies, which is understandable, but not necessarily what you may want in a game.

lets talk solo, tabletop, RPG games.
It can be tough to get friends together for a session. What solo RPG game do you play to tie yourself over until your group gets together again?
I recently have been playing one called "Barbarian Prince". It does a pretty good job capturing the feeling of high adventure that RPG's give. It is no replacement for group games but it's pretty damn good at tying me over.
