Naat, what do you use to build your maps? That's some solid work there.

These are the official maps imported into the "3D Virtual Tabletop" app for Android

Thanks! Nice to see they have an iOS version, too. I'll definitely look into this for anything I might want to run.

So, I was thinking that maybe when we're done with LMoP we could move on to Princes of the Apocalypse. What do you all think? Princes even has a section on moving from the Phandalin to Princes.

I'm fine with that!

No idea what that means, but sure!

Princes of the Apocalypse is another adventure campaign made for D&D5. I think it has to do with Elemental Evil, which I've heard about by name, but have never experienced game-wise. Built for characters in levels 1 through 15.

Princes of the Apocalypse is actually levels 3 through 15, which is why we'll do that one. Don't want your levels to be too high.

I'm delighted at the idea of continuing, though it seems like planning really far into the future - I expect that we're going to be in and around Phandalin for months of real-time. But hey, I like all of you and am enjoying playing D&D with you, so I'm all for continuing!

HAHAHAHA! Kama and Wish are doing brutal damage to the crevasse walls, being unable to hit the nothic as they are!

'Tis a shame the nothic wasn't intimidated by the damage we did to its cave.

By the way, we didn't have a long rest from the fight at the Sleeping Giant, right?

Nope, you didn't indicate a long rest. At least not that I remember

Okay, just confirming. I also don't think we've taken a short rest.

For the party's benefit, I'm down to 5/19 hit points, and no Relentless Endurance, Second Wind, or Action Surge.

I don't assume that Xora and Hollow are gonna be able to do much here, but we'll give it some time, maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised!

I can bite em? Or decide that yes, nap time is good.

Ok, this is something I've been debating for a while, and something I allow at my home table. How does everyone feel about allowing people to use their inspiration for a re-roll after the fact instead of advantage?

Is "after the fact" after you've determined the results, or after we've seen the roll and assume it's going to need a re-roll?

I'm okay with anything, really.

How about after the roll, but before results are revealed? I don't particularly mind doing it after the results are revealed, but that might require too much post-editing to be worth it.

It sounds like some of the other re-roll abilities and feats, so I'm not opposed.

I'm ok with the idea, I'd even say I like this idea. I mean, it isn't exactly what the designers intended but as a PBP we have a different experience than an 'At-The-Table' game. I intend to us a poker chip for players to put in front of them when I run a live ATT game to remind them of the potential to use it. In this format we could be out running errands or taking a break from work when we post and we might not always remember all of out options.
