Probably the Avatar of Memnor. In ttrpg D&D at least. If we add different systems (like, say, Mage the Ascencion) there's a load of concepts /umbral spirits fo…

Honestly, not too great. I went from running six games a week, professionally, and being able to pay all of my bills and live fairly comfortably, to running th…

Well, that's at least a good sign.

I am running one biweekly game for 14 players, and we're on session... 17 or 18. We play online (Discord and Foundry), session length is 6 hours, running a hom…

These are the 2014 rules.
