Likely there aren't many of you left here, but for those who are - if the demise of G+ has left you wondering where you'll discuss games online I would heartily recommend The Gauntlet Forums.

The Gauntlet Forums
Ever since Google announced the closure of G+, folks have been wondering where The Gauntlet would go. Today I am delighted to let you know the answer:
The Gauntlet Forums!
Shane Liebling and a bunch of other awesome folks have been hustling to get the forums finished in time for the (accelerated) closure of G+, and they are now ready for you to join at the link below!
Please read the intro message, particularly the FAQ and the Inclusivity Policy. All the values we built this community with will transfer over to the forums.
Once you're all set up, start interacting with posts so you can raise your trust levels. Keep an eye on the Announcements section, which is where we will post new podcast episodes, contests, Gauntlet Con info and other official business. RPG Chat and Game Design is where I expect most people to hang out. And Gauntlet Hangouts is where we will be announcing new games on our calendar.
We have archived this G+ Community so we can access its content whenever we need to. G+ was good to us, and we're sad to see it go, but we're ready for the move.
So, please, do come join us at the new home of The Gauntlet!

Question: have any of you all made use of the Motifs mechanic in other games you run?
Question: have any of you all made use of the Motifs mechanic in other games you run? As a way of pushing for reincorparation or as a pacing mechanism?

* New dice graphics!!! Jesse Ross graciously created amazing SVGs for all of the dice (including all the DCC funky dice!)
* Jesse also created a new token image as well - now when you double click it a black circle shows on it instead of it turning white. (Though there is a checkbox to do the white token thing if you want.)
* The color of the arbitrary-size dice (XdY) will now match the rest of the dice.
* Fixed a bug where sizing for added images wasn’t respected.

* Clocks!!! For all you fans of countdown clocks (I’m looking at you scoundrels skulking around in the dark!) we’ve got 4/6/8/threat clocks - give them a title and then double-click (ie reroll) to advance them and long press to decrement them.
* Speaking of rerolling… If you hold down shift while selecting things it will prevent you from accidentally rerolling anything.
* Even more rerolling news: the button is now green! (I got feedback that people didn’t use it because they didn’t notice it.)
* Added a visible count of the tokens out on the “table.”

You can add arbitrary images to the room - they act just like dice and cards.
There is now a button to roll XdY - it’ll output just like the Funky dice do.
Fixed a bug where custom sets would include a blank member.

Roll For Your Party (that dice roller thingy) has been updated in a variety of ways to improve your dice rolling (and card drawing) experience:
* Minor UI improvements and bugfixes.
* Support for funky/weird dice from DCC. (Though no custom images… yet.)
* Double-clicking (ie rerolling) tokens will set them to the color white, doing it again will set them back.
* Double clicking the labels for inputs (eg “d6” or “tokens”) will get you a single one of those.
* Move multiple selected things as a group. (Long press on the last selection (the one you move the group with) if you happen to want them all to end up in a single stack. Then click “reveal selected” (if what you selected wasn’t hidden) or “hide selected” (if it was hidden) to deselect the stack.)

Roll For Your Party (that online multi-user dice rolling thing) has been updated in a variety of ways to improve your dice rolling (and card drawing) experience:
* Color choices stick: now when you choose Orange as your die color it will stay that way until you change it again.
* Choose to have dice sorted or not.
* Custom sets (ie custom decks/pools): Have a set of images you’d like to use as a randomized deck? (Tarot cards perhaps? (https://gist.github.com/shanel/e8e1e41f7a92c6a89172ccb7643eff4e)) Make a list of all the urls to those images and paste it into the form!
* Hidden draws: When pulling cards from the playing card deck or custom sets you can choose to have them only visible to you until you explicitly select and reveal them. (Yes, you can re-hide a selected card too.)
* You can save the previous roll’s inputs.
* Modifiers are now a thing.
*Fixed a bug where extra Aces would show up in a re-shuffled deck.
Coming soon: screencasts covering how to use all of the site's functionality and how to use the site to help you play +Paul Czege’s The Clay That Woke.

So I made a thing...
So I made a thing...
It's a dice roller that creates a custom URL for your "room." You can then send that to the friends you are playing with and you can all watch/use the same dice at the same time... You can move the dice around real-time, group them, delete some or all of them, reroll some of them, etc. (It should make playing games like Dogs in the Vineyard and In A Wicked Age easier...)
I think it would work great for Swords Without Master too. My reasoning being that you can create labels which you could have for each character and the Overplayer. You could put those around the screen and then just have the two dice get moved around between the labels depending on who was "holding" them...
Other cool things it does:
* Supports open (ie not hidden) playing card draws (no jokers though)
* Safety Tools! Buttons for using John Stavropoulos' X-Card and Brie Sheldon's Script Change tools
* Double click already rolled dice to reroll them (perfect for SWM)
* Set a background image (great for maps or play mats or eidilons!)
* See totals of last rolled dice and of all dice on the table
It is still very much in beta, so if you run into issues, take a look at https://github.com/shanel/roller/issues to see if your problem is there, and if not log it!
If you get some use out of the site please consider making a donation to http://www.shantibhavanchildren.org/
Happy rolling!
