Aside from NPC portraits, you'll get to see different environment "panels" that will pop onto your screen!

There are around ~200 of these! 🥲 And number 68 will shock you! (or maybe not...)

Coming soon: Dead Ends, a necromantic adventure for fifth level #DnD players

I'm super stoked about this one finally releasing. I've worked on it for about a year now!

It's had two rounds of play testing, three rounds of proofreading. It's finally ready.

I initially joined mastodon.social in 2018, but it didn't click for me. But in April, like many of you I arrived back here, this time on scholar.social. I feel like I've found an online.

So this week on my podcast I interviewed one of the loudest evangelists of decentralized social networks, Darius Kazemi. He's a computer programmer, digital artist, and runs friend.camp. I enjoyed learning from him and hope you do too.

1/ #ttrpg people, did you know that parties of treasure hunters were totally a real thing in Early Modern Europe?

The composition of these adventuring parties was a bit different than in standard #dnd , of course - but a mixture of professions was considered essential then as it is now.

Since Mastodon is the elephant app, that makes all other social networks irrelephant.

I released a single page #ttrpg today: To Do List the RPG. Be sure to grab it and have fun with Numbers Go Up!

Interesting to see https://fediverse.info/explore/people seeking to provide a directory enabling Mastodon users to find other people with similar interests. The nice part is of course that you are NOT in the directory unless you add yourself. It's "opt-in".

The challenge is that they need a certain number of people to register in order for it to start being useful. (I have not yet, but might.)

I have some vague memories of similar directories being created for email a few decades ago.

As well as images, you can attach audio or video files to Mastodon posts. Here are some assorted tips:

-There is no length limit on audio or video files, but they have to be below a certain file size (usually 40 megabytes). Check with your server admin if you're unsure about the file size limits.

-You can replace the thumbnail with an image file by clicking on the "choose image" button.

-On audio files, remember to add a text description of the sound for deaf users.

-On video files, remember to add text descriptions of the pictures for blind users, and of the sound for deaf users.

-Silent MP4 videos will be treated as animated GIF images.

-Audio can be MP3, OGG, WAV, FLAC, OPUS, AAC, M4A, 3GP

-Video can be MP4, M4V, MOV, WebM

Thanks to the lack of a time limit, one legendary Mastodon post had the Angelina Jolie film "Hackers" ridiculously compressed to fit within the file size limit. It was unwatchable 😁
