Various updates
Hey all,There have been a slew of minor changes to things in January. Let's just nail down the ones I can remember off the top of my head. I've updated the Pantheon of the gods slightly. Agepa (Goddess of the hunt) has had her symbol changed. Also Woomatoor is now Womaatoar. The elemental pl...
Arcadia Constellation Viewer
Hey yall,This is very much a work in progress, but I thought I'd share it with you anyway. This is a nighttime view of the sky in Arcadia. You can select what month your characters/players are in and the view will shift to see the sky at that point. There's a check box you can toggle to add ...

Regalgoblins Store

Tabletop Audio track updates
Hey guys!Today we updated the tabletop audio track associations, adding track 118-126. As usual I've hidden the track associations that don't fit a fantasy game, but I want to call one of those out this time. "Car Chase!" is super cool. Doesn't fit with a D&D world, but I wanna w...

Roll20 skinning

Point Buy System
Recently I've had the desire to have a better understanding of what it means to be an average / above average character. Stats can be quite difficult to compare directly: Is a character with three 3s and three 18s equal to a character with three 10s and three 11s? They both average 10.5, but to ...

Running a Chase
So I was thinking about how awkward chases have been in my campaigns when I had a moment of clarity! Rather than trying to measure distances and movement speeds, which can make for some interesting rules layering, we should just boil it down to a single opposed roll. The person being chased (the run...

KC: On min-maxing characters
Today we're going to be discussing the strengths and disadvantages of a min-maxed character. The core concept is that TTRPGS are based on overcoming challenges, and you want a character that does well in that area without breaking it. I will try to keep this as system-neutral as possible, but it...
