Well it’s fixed now… so I didn’t even get to clear cache and retry. But I did try opening on another browser (before writing my comment above) with similar results.

I want to be able to report a bug to the developers, but I have no idea what to tell them that might be useful. I guess I can dive into their issues tracker and take it from there.

Uhm… something’s off again on my side.

Are there specific symptoms I should be looking into?

Huh. I didn’t cross-hatch the inner pillars.

There’s also !scifi@ttrpg.network which should have some overlap with cyberpunk.

I must confess I’ve never tried his builds. Mostly because I don’t have easy access to a color printer and the last time I tried grayscale papercraft it was underwhelming.

Alas, I usually try making fantasy ruins out of cardboard and scraps. If it ends up crooked, the more ruined they look. 😉

Not sure that’s the case, as I was browsing on this instance.

But… I did notice this issue just after I was trying to upload an image with “too many pixels”… maybe I was being throttled because of that?

Whatever it was, it seems to be solved now.

It seems like this issue is back…?

Pretty much every image in the instance is replaced with:

Does anyone know the story about this edition? It does seem like it was intended to be faxed. 😅

Wait… did you even get to use fax machines? Geez, I’m old.

Anyway, while I didn’t play Traveller back in the day, this edition holds a special place in my heart. I had watched Seth Skorkowsky’s videos (I think he had completed the full series, not too long ago if you’re keeping score) and thought: this is the game I want to play. But I was absolutely broke. I got started with Cepheus Engine SRD, because I didn’t even know if my players would like it and didn’t want to spend money that I didn’t even have. I think I got this facsimile edition for $1, and I was ecstatic.

Granted, I had everything truly necessary out of the Cepheus Engine SRD, but I felt like I was chipping in somehow.

Thanks Marc!

For the longest time, I wasn’t sure if a Star Trek game would suit my table. But then they released the Lower Decks and fixed that for me. 😅

Apparently my issue was a false positive. It seems Lemmy doesn’t like large images (even if small in size) but the message saying “too many pixels” was off-screen at that time.

I resized the image and reuploaded. Everything seems fine now.

I settled on Campaign Cartographer 3+.

It has a steep learning curve, but seems to be the most powerful tool by far.

Traveller Discord?

Yeah. There’s a very active Discord server for Traveller and all it’s variants:

https://discord.gg/xMvmatKh

😅 That’s probably beyond my skill level.

I’d go for ███ ████ or ██-█.

Thanks!

No hard rules at the moment. Though it’s hard to judge if a digital image is truly “micro”. ;)

Great! I’m taking you up on your offer.

Wecome to !scifi@ttrpg.network

That thought has crossed my mind. At first I thought it might be too broad, but now I’m thinking otherwise.

Maybe Lemmy isn’t as big (yet) as I initially thought.

It’s… weird. There seems to be a lot of people who play it, but you’re right: we don’t hear much about it.

There’s a Discord server (not a fan of Discord myself, I get lost easily) with tons of users (and many publishers) very much active. Even r/Traveller has decent traffic (but r/cepheusengine not so much). There’s a relatively active T5 community at MeWe as well.

Maybe most players are happy to use Discord. Aaaand maybe I should be asking over there if there would be people interested.
