Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all!

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 an update: after a few hiccups and a late start, its been chugging along; It’s around 1/3rd of the way done, currently. Didn’t get started until late yesterday, and the process died a few times, but its been running just fine most of today. If i had to guesstimate, it’s probably gotten a good ~12-14 hours of run time to get to this point

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.

I haven’t heard terribly many people talk about draw steel, honestly. I’d be interested to hear what you think about it after trying it out.

yep, you are correct; i always accidentally lump it in together because of how related/similar they are, my bad.

“thing over rice” is nigiri. Nigiri, sashimi, and Maki rolls are all types of sushi.

@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:

Yeah, i figured it was probably under priced with our current host, but im not looking to balloon costs 4-5x or something when switching to a new host, hopefully. I’d like fully managed if possible, but yeah, another thought was including people who could look at things in my stead, though I don’t really have a list of people i’m aware of who i could recruit.

thanks! i’ll have to look these over!

Hopefully it shouldn’t be a big deal. I just need to find a new hosting service, and the migration should be easy. I have some time to figure it out, so I’m not too worried, just gotta find the right service.

Quite possible. I’m not an expert and working from memory, so I could very well get something wrong

Yes, actually. They’re both different mixes of plutonium isotopes. Iirc reactor grade plutonium is far more stable than weapons grade (because blowing up is less desirable for reactors than bombs), and has some different properties when used.

😛

Yeah, i’m actually traveling right now, so i’ll take care of it when i get a chance later.

Not a bad idea; Someone with the power to do something should do something about that!

Yeah, no idea. And the statement is pretty just a bunch of marketing speaking and no real plans. So we’ll see, I guess

Yeah, but its still using rebuilt HD assets which make it look way better than the original game its based off of.

That’s the HD remaster that came out like 10 years ago. They most certainly did not make that on windows 98.
