I was intrigued to discover a ‘show me the dice details’ feature in Owlbear.rodeo; this new feature should allow folks to run Cortex RPG games! Cortex requires a GM to see the individual die result of each die rolled in a dice pool, which is a pain in most VTTs I’ve used.
Saw this idea from Ron Loge on MeWe.com — use bottle caps glued together to make Sci Fi barrels! Great idea!
