Switching Sides

So, we started DND with a questionably cobbled-together set of rules that Laura and I found and modified from the internet, and somehow it's coming up on two years we've been working on this campaign??? What??????


I got Fantasy Grounds Unity on Steam to try and up my games. I refuse to pay Roll20's monthly payment. Adobe already owns my soul and I was born a ginger in the deep south. Needless to say, my golden fiddle needs some polishing. Might have to sell it.


It's a bit tricky to learn how to integrate everything over, but I refuse to give up. For my friends and loyal players, who have shown me just how much money Adobe can't take from me in the form of DND rulesets, I want to make this thing extraordinary. So I've started triple-checking my files I put into FGU, and editing them so the program can pick up on the words and phrases it uses to auto-calculate fun things like character traits, my homebrewed races, and (oh god) the homebrew classes that haunt my waking dreams like some kind of spreadsheet-looking paralysis demon.


It's a bit slow, but definitely worth it. If anyone has any suggestions for a place to make maps, let me know, although it'll be a while yet before I've checked all the terminology and tested the new spells.


If I get this job I'm interviewing for soon, I might get Dungeondraft with a smidge of my tax return. We'll see... It's either that or custom minis. I can make my own if I find a way to print the silly things.
