This looks better scripted all round. I like things with intellectual heft, action, thrills, nudity, golf and wrestling. Oh oops! I went a bit crazy there

Welcome, fellow tavernite!

I started on tavern keeper as well. Welcome.
Gamersplane can do a lot more with power and character sheets and supports on the fly battle maps (Google otfbm.io)

Main complaint compared to Tavern keeper is TK was nicely organized with sections for wikis and forums and gameplay while here you have to build that structure yourself and all threads are ultimately the same type

Welcome to the GP community, lazycat1984!

It'll take a minute, but yeah, great features, games, and community here. I just want the flip-tile OOC posts!

Hey! We are from 'Making The Rounds' on Tavern Keeper and have established a Test Account on here to compare its features with those we are used to on the Tavern Keeper site. How is everyone else finding it so far?

I'll take a look at lazycat1984! links and see how things work on here.
I've got four years worth of game files to try and rescue first.

Such a great feature! Still waiting for another site to do that

Yes! We used the OOC comments a lot in our game, if that's what you mean by flip-tile-OOC. Most player posts had at least one OOC comment linked to them.

a. GM instructions on tests to be made.
b. Questions from the player about their character options.
c. Clarification of lore or rules relatedto the post.
d. General comments from the GMand other players on the post content e.g. 'Nice Roll', 'Great Post' or 'Bad Luck' etc. Vital for building social bonds.

Some posts would have a huge stack of OOC comments linked to them.

The only two things in TK that I miss are the wiki functionality and the game search/filter/organization. The community here is great. A bunch of old timers, and we get waves of newcomers. D&D fantasy seems to be this most common but there are a variety of other systems and genre as well as the occasional DM only game/discussion.

For me, GP's Discord integration was a revolution.
OOC:
Pixellating the names as it's easier than asking permission.
[ +- ] Questions from the player about their character options & GM instructions
[ +- ] Clarification of lore or rules related to the post
[ +- ] Discussing tactics
[ +- ] General comments from the GMand other players on the post content
...and as for the social stuff? We spend as much time nattering about nonsense like food, travel, jobs, and what-have-you as the game.

But the Discord integration adds snippets from the game's posts to the game's discord, and it's the posts which are the heartbeat of the social interaction.

I'll hold my hands up - I thought GP's Discord integration was a bloody stupid idea when it was first proposed. I was very wrong. In an active game with engaged players, all that discord natter and banter is like being at a table. Now we just need to work out virtual snacks.
