We return to Willowshore after the first encounter with the exorcists… time is ticking down for Willowshore as we hope, food, and security begin ticking down. The players did some Willowshore downtime roleplay before gathering at the Cerulean Teahouse to cast the Mindscape Shift ritual and enter Heh Shan-bao’s mindscape. It was appropriately creepy with all the details of the rollable spooky details table. We chased down the disheveled governor and he convinced the party he just wants to talk… He set out for them bowls of rice with the chopsticks standing upright, which all of our players here in Japan didn’t need to have the inference explained as we closed out the session.
Our session went well because it was mostly rolelplay and skill checks in exploration so not much to add in feedback to demiplane other than to advocate again for GM tools. These days I keep a copy of the GM Core Screen PDF open in a browser tab zoomed in on the third panel which is the most useful… If there was a Demiplane version of this where all of the rules were linked off of this it would be really awesome…
Also, as I have asked for before, a dashboard with summaries of the stats of the characters in the campaign presented compactly would really help with secret rolls, etc. A reminder of what I made for SKT in powerpoint before (but would be improved with an official version with links to rules/character sheets and automatically updating):
And then finally, a place to track notes and numbers like clocks, etc., just a series of labels with values or something…
A suite like this for the GM tools would be really awesome!
