You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
ugh sorry it took me so long to reply. Alas I have to pass this time on RftG. I just don't want to be holding up the game.
I am heavy into organizing our tabletop simulator/skype D&D group, the Deep Harbor Adventuring Company. I'm also finding that I need to spend more time studying the Ravenloft guide in order to provide the best experience for my players.

We are in the process of expanding our group and maybe running games more often than Sunday and the occasional Monday nights (we usually start at 6pm West Coast US time) please send me a FB message (Laga Ratica) if you would like to learn more.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I'm already involved in two D&D games, unfortunately. Adding a third would likely put my marriage at risk.

One of our group is having trouble with just the one.

Laga, I've been looking to get into another TTRPG group! I'd be pretty much starting from scratch, though, I've never done it online before. What Edition would you be using?

Currently we are using 5.0. I believe you would not be the only player starting from scratch.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Man, I would love to be back in a D&D game, but the time zone difference is a bit prohibitive.

Well now, it looks like we have just two players for the next game, Connie and Ryan. Mano a Mano! Head to head! Much as when Adult Swim put Flying Shark ("Destructive Denizen of the Deep") up against Flying Crocodile ("Nihilistic Nightmare of the Nile"). Questions will be asked -- AND DESTROYED! BY ANSWERS! They will battle in a battle where there can be no winner... WHO WILL WIN?!?!?
Ahem. Anyway, given there'll only be two people, we'll be using the 2-player variant rules. Turns can get a bit thin with just two possible phases; so with just two players, each player chooses two action cards instead of one. For instance, a player could choose Settle/Trade - play a windfall world and trade the new good right away. Or Consume (x2)/Produce, speeding up a produce-and-consume strategy. And so on. A player can select the same phase twice, with the exception of Phase V. In Phases II and III, they then happen twice; Phases I and IV, they happen once, but the player gets two different bonuses.
Cards are going out now.
