    It's axiomatic in the annals of humor theory that comedic subjectivity pivots around cultural, experiential, and individual variances. The quintessence of tabletop RPGs humor, often perceived as ostensibly 'bad', mirrors the postmodern appreciation for the spontaneous and the absurd, which for many, is intrinsic to its charm. As for @ItsNket , his authenticity, diverging from the prevalent overly-curated norm, channels a refreshing genuineness. In light of these nuances, one might posit: 10/10 comedy.

    There are 5 main things that keeps TaleSpire from being, in my opinion, the best way to play D&D ever: 1 - No in-game character customization. Yes yes, i know you can link Hero Forge (which is awesome btw), but you still have to pay to have it in-game. I'm the type of DM who have 25 different NPCs and i just do not have the money to pay for all of it (where i live the minis are prohibitive expensive). 2 - Fog of War. Simply being able to set that the assets that a player can see is linked to a radius around a mini, and assets blocks the vision, would be game-changing. I can't stand having to use 232543 hide volumes to hide and show things, and also when i do for one i do for everyone. 3 - Better Lightning I simply do not like how lightning is done in talespire, too much hassle to set it up right. Idk it might just be me. 4 - Darkvision Set different exposure levels of different players. 5 - Cinematics Absolutely of extreme importance. Right now you have the cutscene mode where you can grab shots that make the camera go into specific position and angles. I just NEED to be able to make a time-line that i'm able to move miniatures and also the camera. That's really not that hard to do. Miniature movement is basic stuff and camera movement can be easly done using splines. 1, 3 and 5 are a must have for me. Never ever i will play D&D in another way if these things are implemented. Everyday i pray for the Devs to implement these.

    Which vtt does cutscenes? That sounds cool as heck. There's a mod for fog of war, but I'm not the right person to say whether it works or not because I use 234234 hide volumes and frantically click back and forth - so i understand that pain, lol. As for internal mini creator, it's coming in the works - mentioned in their discord today.

    hey, so I do have a question. I saw your video about trying to run two Talespires with only one copy, however I purchased Talespire through steam. I'm not tech savvy and I do feel like I cant figure this out. but can I still run two programs with only one copy? I only ask because based on your video, you purchased it separately from steam, and than added it to steam so you can run it twice. If you can assist, that'd be great.

  • @looking4themountain

    10 ай бұрын

    D&D got a large popularity boost with their newest version 5E being so accessible as well as success found by Critical Roll / Stranger Things. Then CV-19 hit, and all those folks wanted to keep the dice rolling which led to a lot of us playing online from home. For some of us, the experience is hard to stay in the moment if the visuals are lacking (Roll 20 for example). Ergo, Talespire! Getting into build mode for me is akin to the zen you feel from painting mini's. I've been messing around with large armies combating each other. Something akin to Warhammer. Talespire isn't tied to D&D, so you can pretty much play any game on it you desire :)

    It does have microtransactions. Sure, technically they aren't in Talespire itself, but you even bring up the HeroForge integration as a feature. It costs 8 dollars to get permission in HeroForge to import your mini to a virtual tabletop. That's 8$ _per mini_, even for minor variations. Not just a microtransaction, but a real chonky one at that. And since neither the model importing TaleWeaver doodad nor the integrated character creator are still not around, this is the only supported option for getting any new models into the system.
