This art is amazing. Is this your project or what’s the background here?

Thanks for crossposting! Pardon my Lemmy ignorance, but I have a question. So, when you crosspost, it creates a copy of the linked thread on the new community? Meaning there are two separate but identical articles but on different communities with separate sets of comments? I had originally crossposted the first post to sci-fi, but I wasn’t expecting the two copies thing, so I thought I had done something wrong. I deleted the crosspost after that and left it only on the traveller community. Was I doing it ‘right’ originally after all?

This is fucking cool.

I see what you did there

I linked to an article on EN World that has links to other sites. There is no store or checking out to be done on EN World itself.

I recommend contacting the customer service people for whatever website you’re referring to.

The D&D pornographic supplement tangent was a fun time.

Nom nom

The Ukrainian hospital bundle looks really good. Lots of stuff in there with a bunch of solo RPGs. The bundle is probably worth it for the Cairn and Mausritter stuff alone.

I am all for whatever stirs up more content and discussion that isn’t memes.

That’s a pretty good testimonial. Thank you for taking the time to share it with me.

They do make communication more efficient, as long as everyone understands the definition. If they don’t, then acronyms and initials quickly make the communication inefficient, or worse, make the person that isn’t in the know feel excluded. In my professional life, I spend a lot of my time translating acronyms and trying to help people navigate the confusion of not knowing what things mean and wondering if they’re in over their head, all due to the constant use of jargon.

My suggestion is to definite your acronyms the first time you use them or, if it’s a short message, spell the whole thing out and don’t mention the abbreviation at all.

I don’t know what the implied demographic is, but I assume I am not in it. I suppose that vibe is part of why I don’t feel the desire to venture further into the fediverse.

I would have assumed the audience for this post is TTRPG nerds.

What is a pigeon totem? It sounds made up.

For anybody else that hates needless acronyms, FOSS apparently stands for Free and Open Source Software.

Thank you for continuing to share these!

Yes, original Battletech was simulating large scale mech warfare with collectible minis (let’s face it though, most people just liked to paint and have them). The Battletech RPG (to my understanding) is that flavor adapted to a TTRPG.

If you like mechs and video gaming, I encourage you to check out the MechWarrior series. It is the video game adaptation of Battletech.

The site appears to be back up now.

And yes, at the very basic level, all these settings involve mechs. Lancer would probably be closer in theme to Evangelion, if you wanted to run it that way. Battletech would be a crunchy cousin, due to its roots as a war game.

I would like an excuse to buy Battletech, but just can’t do it when I could play Lancer instead. Can anyone convince me I’m wrong?
