OMFG I did it...I updated the #TribesInTheDark #TTRPG #Roll20 sheets with the new Cell (crew) sheet and added a fourth sheet. But I just remembered that the original sheets were built using Pug and SCSS. I *had* been diligent making changes to the Pug or SCSS files, then running a build so new HTML and CSS files are created. But IDGAF I'm not doing it now, I've forgotten the process anyway.

After finishing the #TribesInTheDark fillable PDFs, I decided to crack open the old version of the #Roll20 sheets. There's some pretty major updates that need to be done... My last commit to the repo was 21 months ago.

For tech skills, not using them for 21 months is the equivalent of 20 years. I might as well be starting from scratch figuring out how to change things.

Pictured: actual footage of me trying to make changes to the HTML.

@eladrin I'd be happy to come and demo #TribesInTheDark if only I could get someone to pay for travel and lodging (j/k)

I have a feeling that making these #TribesInTheDark #TTRPG playbooks form-fillable is going to be the best decision I've made with regards to #VTT. Hands down. It meant a small outlay for the right tools. Affinity doesn't do forms *at all*—it removes the fields!

Day 16: Game I Wished I Owned
This one is hard because I own most of the games that I want to. So I'll cheat...it's #TribesIntheDark. Like a fancy print version with all of the bells and whistles, maybe a couple new sourcebooks.

I also kind of wish that #AvatarLegends was #CortexPrime instead of #PbtA. And there was an official version of #Exalted that is *not* Storyteller.

Looking at the @bigbadcon schedule I'm super bummed that I can't go this year. But, #TribesInTheDark will be represented by one of my co-conspirators if anyone wants to check it out.

Random #TribesInTheDark #TTRPG thought:

Every Fatima fucks with their followers. Agnes keeps her Favorites from aging (while they're her Favorites—but in my personal headcanon it's all of the children). Dahlia just meddles with their lives randomly. Eva, Magdalen, and Baba Yaga screw with their fertility, births, and deaths. Only Joan and Tera Sheba mostly leave well enough alone—Joan because she's an absentee demigoddess and Terasheba because that's why she passed the laws down.

In my #TribesInTheDark #TTRPG headcanon, this is absolutely the Jacker Outlook's theme song.

Had a call on Friday about lining up the ducks needed to get the #TribesInTheDark #TTRPG Kickstarter set up. I'm also am plowing my way through a much needed reorganization and high level edit of the draft. Hopefully we'll have some solid news relatively soon.

I'm zipping right along with my current pass over the #TribesInTheDark #TTRPG draft. I tightened up the first three chapters considerably, which were the ones that had drawn most heavily from the demo/quickstart. The GM chapter is going to get a pretty big makeover. There's a lot of information I've gathered about what people struggle with with #FitD, so clarifications and examples are going to be filling that out quite a bit.

After reading some responses about what people found could be clarified or was confusing about #BitD, I decided to start a pretty aggressive edit of #TribesInTheDark #TTRPG. It's already shed 2500 words or so and that's with adding some examples and clarification. It's also getting some reorganization. I figure it may very well pick some of that back up with new GM advice but there's still a lot of meat that might get carved off. There are benefits to writing too much.

@capybarbarian In #TribesInTheDark we adopted a preparation roll inspired by Brinkwood, which can affect the engagement roll. Additionally we added a number of engagement factors that add or remove dice. The idea is more to line up your ducks vs. detailed planning.

@LeviKornelsen Speaking of Tribe 8, very likely to talk about that a lot considering I'm working on a FitD reboot called Tribes in the Dark.

This #Miro board for #TribesInTheDark #TTRPG is coming along nicely. @Dreampod let me take a peek at theirs, and combined with a couple others I've looked I think I'm getting a handle on how things should be organized. I'm not sold on having the middle "background" as it feels like a holdover from setting up landing pages in R20 or whatever but it's a good placeholder for the time being.

@satchel #TribesInTheDark has four Outlook factions that are different than the other factions in the game. The Outlooks can offer a larger number of boons (basically bonuses or advantages) to the PCs in exchange for completing quests on their behalf than the other factions. But more importantly, the PC Cell (basically their crew, as it's a FitD game) only increases in Tier when the Outlooks do.

@Dreampod I mean, what you described is pretty much it. Just think #FitD instead of Fate. I already imported in the #TribesInTheDark playerkit PDF, and was arranging it into a couple different areas like player sheets and GM reference sheets. I figure there will be a central area for scene information and maps and whatnot, likely a spot for clocks, probably a relationship map of sorts for the various characters.

Got the Google sheets faction cards done for the #TribesInTheDark #TTRPG. It was a good exercise because it helped me catch some errors that had crept into the PDF version.

Now comes a decision for online games: go with Miro or similar or recreate the sheets in Role and use that.

The Cell sheet for #TribesInTheDark #TTRPG shaped up quite nicely. Now I have to do the cadre sheets and the faction sheets. This is taking much less time than creating the sheets in Affinity (of course, I'm also copying and pasting a lot of text out of the Affinity Sheets).

This is what the Google Sheets #TribesInTheDark #TTRPG character keeper looks like. Everything is driven from a few dropdowns. A good number iof things are populated from the playbook information automatically using a data tab with a series of INDIRECT functions. Other boxes like stress or item uses can be selected with a simple dropdown that shows the choices.

After finishing up the new versions of the #TribesInTheDark #TTRPG sheets, I started working on a pretty nifty Google Sheets character keeper. I'm still gussying it up a bit, then I guess I'll move on to the Cell and faction sheets.
