  • What is up with the frequent little outages with ttrpg.network?

    Jump

  • federated content lives on its original server for non-text stuff; Posts and comments federate over, but stuff like images are basically proxied to your current instance. If you go into a post that is from another server and there are images, it will go to TTRPG.network to begin to load, then need to load those resources from the remote instance, so there is a bit of a hop/back-and-forth there. There could be lag between instances that could cause issues.

  • Certainly always appreciated. I will continue working with the host; It's worth noting that things have gotten better than we first migrated. I prepaid for a year with the host because there was a 10% discount vs monthly, so somewhat locked in at the moment (not really locked in, but ya know, sunk costs), so we'll see where we're sitting as the year goes on.

  • Hey there, we swapped to a new host back in December after our old host went out of business. So far the results have been.... lackluster. I've been reporting to the host when I notice outages, which seem to be reasonably frequent unfortunately.

  • Can someone smarter than me tell me if this affects me or not?

  • The gold market cap has always been the approximate amount of gold that has been extracted. While I don't think anyone can give you an actual precise number, the approximate number is pretty widely known and tracked as we extract more.

  • I really like the sentinels comics rpg - https://www.greaterthangames.com/pages/sentinel-comics

    It's based on the sentinels of the multiverse card game, and has a really unique system. Basic low down - every roll you have die based on a "stat", a power, and your (or the scene's) status (green, yellow, red).

    On a basic roll, you always take the middle die as your results. Powers might alter this or do something extra.

    So for example, let's say you have super strength as a stat for a d8, a power die of a d6 for the power you're using, and a d6 for your current status (green). You'd roll all three of these and take whatever value is the "middle" result (so like d8 - 2, d6 - 4, d6- 5, you'd get a 4).

    Powers might do something like "deal damage equal to the lowest die, but heal an ally for the middle die" or "deal damage with the highest die, but take a penalty equal to the lowest die"

  • We are up an running on a new host!

  • Yeah, there was some indexing issues with some of the images when we migrated. Stuff had to be cleaned up, but i think we lost a number of thumbnails with those issues. It should just be mostly thumbnails that were affected of some existing stuff; I'm not aware of way to regenerate thumbnails outside of just uploading a new image.

    Jump

  • yeah, there was some database indexing issues, so we had to reindex it, plus the server needs to catch up on 3~4 days of fediverse activity. Hopefully things should even out. I'm not noticing too much slowness myself, though.

  • just because its true doesnt mean you have to say it

    Jump

  • there's actually great resources for getting started online. There's a site called start playing games dedicated to matching new people to a DM. Note that services like that cost money. There's also the virtual tabletop roll20 which has a group finder for you to find a game. It will have a mix of free and paid games. Alternatively, you can crowdsource that such as on r/lfg on reddit (unfortunately the LFGs here on lemmy don't seem to be active enough to find games), or through various discord servers, including the official D&D discord. Another that has reasonably active LFG type sections to try is the Fantasy grounds (another VTT) discord.

    For in person play, you can also look in to local gaming stores that might run adventurer's league, which is the sort of 'official' play wizards of the coast sanctions at local stores and at conventions.

  • @eerongal. (How did you tag people in here?)

    Yeah, you can tag people, you have to use @username@instance and it should popup a context window on the regular UI, i believe. Like this - @roflo1@ttrpg.network - it will then normalize it into a link format that looks like:
