I've been working on an addon for the new #OwlbearRodeo they are pretty simple to build, of course there's also very little infrastructure they provide if at all, but it's good. If you are comfortable with any kind of #serverless architecture you could build something for it

I mean it doesn't have to be serverless but you know, deploying to a bucket can be extremely cheap

This makes me curious are you into #ttrpg or #boardgames, a dev, and do you code for the hobby?

I do, often

@kingu Depends. If we need something lightweight, #OwlbearRodeo. For something meatier, where rule support is helpful (eg #CyberpunkRED) and the maps are largely 2D, the #Roll20. For sessions that benefit from three dimensions, #TaleSpire.

Most of our Lair communications happen on #Discord (coordination sessions, game updates, funny posts). We also use Discord for voice and video during games.

7 AM session tomorrow morning! (Well, today morning, since it's past midnight for me now)

Our team has players all over the globe, so that's how it is. That's the perk of #OnlineGaming -- fun doesn't have to stop just because friends move abroad.

Hip hip hooray for #Discord voice-chat and #OwlbearRodeo !! #ORPG #GottaGoSleepNow #NotAMorningPerson

Ok I don't like at all the new sticky notes from #OwlbearRodeo #ttrpg

So I'm running 1.0 with docker+ngrok because I really don't like the new sticky notes

I didn't realize you could do this with the original #OwlbearRodeo. Super nice of the devs to release this. If my #nerdfu was stronger, I would totally set up my own server to host this, just for the fun of it. 😄 #VTT #TRPG

After finally using #OwlbearRodeo 2.0 with my friends in an actual play session, I'm so happy to report that my previous concern of 2.0 being "less responsive than 1.0" seems almost completely unfounded. Maybe their server transition process was causing the delay yesterday? But tonight, everything was absolutely butter-smooth. There were some minor glitches here and there, but nothing critical (and nothing that a reload couldn't solve). We all had a great time with 2.0! Love it! 😘

One bad thing: #OwlbearRodeo 2.0 definitely seems to be less responsive than 1.0. I've had mouse clicks go unnoticed, or get "noticed" much too late, resulting in wrong asset being selected. Hopefully this is something that will be fixed quickly because the entire raison-d'être of Owlbear Rodeo is its lightweight simplicity and responsiveness.

Also, while I recognize that #OwlbearRodeo 2.0's tag-collection-folder organization scheme is superior to 1.0's simple folder system, it is going to be a pain to reorganize all my maps and tokens and such. I wish the process was easier, but really (and again), I have only my own procrastination to blame.

Fully admitting my own #procrastination is much to blame, I'm experiencing the headaches of last-minute crunch, dealing with #OwlbearRodeo 2.0's idiosyncrasies that are more different from 1.0's than I had anticipated. I must learn and get used to them by tomorrow's session. 🤪

Hmmmmmmm #OwlbearRodeo migration seems to have forgotten all my maps' "states," as in fog-of-war states, token position, etc. I don't *think* it's supposed to do that, so I may have to try importing stuff again. Hmph.

I've been procrastinating and putting off migrating my #OwlbearRodeo 1.0's data over to 2.0. Finally doing it. It's gonna be a huge mess because I used lots of folders in 1.0, and it says the migrating tool will ignore all folder structure. Wish me luck..... 🤞

@greycat I think for many games, #FoundryVTT is the best. (#Pathfinder, #Shadowdark, #OSE)

#Roll20 has an edge for #5E first party content if you want to invest heavily in that, though community/second party 5E content is great on Foundry.

If you want something light, check out #OwlbearRodeo.

#Role is up and coming, I know #vastgrimm, #Dune, and other games are showing up there recently.

I just read they are releasing #OwlbearRodeo 1 as Open Source aat some point after releasing 2.0 in case you want to self host. I love that

I'm not sure I would self host but I'm taking the dice module out and using it for myself. The one thing I really don't like about 2.0 is the dice, it's much less free, but I agree it's faster for groups using some of the bigger games. I'd like to have both options tho, idk

1.0 it's dice and a dice tray there's no logic or system in top. Just dice

#ttrpg

Hmm. I think I am getting needlessly annoyed by the news that #OwlbearRodeo is moving to an account and subscription model. #TTRPG

Owlbear Rodeo 2.0 launches July 19th.

We ventured into the Monster Pen to bring you a review of #OwlbearRodeo, the light-weight virtual tabletop. https://lairofsecrets.com/gaming/review-owlbear-rodeo/

@grueproof No, this time around I used #OwlbearRodeo. I've never used it as a GM, and it seemed like a good time to give it a whirl. Worked pretty well. And the guys are very interested in playing more #CyberpunkRED.

I tried #owlbearrodeo for the first time last week as a GM. It seems like great tool and provides a way to display maps and other visuals without be being overwhelming. I have yet to run my first battle though I am looking forward to that experience. #gmdm

Kicking around using #OwlbearRodeo for my 5e campaign. Goal is to spend as little time rangling tech as possible. Any suggestions for getting started?
