  There was an issue with the redis service (our database) last night which caused downtime. I think I got the root cause, but I'll continue to monitor things.

  @Arkandel VTTs generally do not have transferability. The benefit of buying a book on say dndbeyond is that some people have integrated dndbeyond with VTTs like foundry / roll20. Normally when you buy an online handbook you get access to character sheet support so drop down, interactive, options. You also get access to monster stats, tokens, pictures. You get access to quick searching rules, feats, class abilities, etc. You will sometimes get some sample maps.

  @Wizz Which is entirely why we alt+historied it up(prior to aliens)... really didn't want to have folks looking forward to those good old extra white days crawling out of the woodwork.

  @HelloProject said in Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff: I've lost about 30 pounds in the last two months, due to suddenly shifting to a permanently better way of eating, and also working out a lot and lifting weights. I mean, not to bring up potentially awkward things from other threads, but: Buff + Clown = Cirque du Soleil, and dude. That would be badass.

  Okay, I've decided that I'm gonna get a server up and fuck with Evennia and just read documentation. That's what I've narrowed things down to. Trial by fire.

  TANGENTIALLY RELATED... Exalted has the same compounding XP issue that oWoD had... so, WORSE than 1e nWoD, even. And it's been long enough since I looked at the 3e chart, I forget if they fixed the 'solars spend less xp on everything, in addition to just being better than everyone else' or not. So there's room for fixing things. ... my preferred method is starting everyone at 1 or 0, and giving them a pile of XP to raise things, but that is me.

  Well, I've been pretty remiss here. Since my last post, we've been through .297, .298, and .299, and here we are at 4.00.300! If you haven't been keeping up otherwise, here's what you've missed out on: 4.00.297 (2020-7-4) Added Donate link on About screen, plus Help->Donate... menu item (So for those of you asking about making donations, here you go!) Merged About and Welcome windows to just the About window Added 'all' parameter to disconnect and reconnect to make things consistent and flexible Fixed a bug in Pueblo tag parsing where relative font sizes were treated as absolute (so <font size=+2> was size=2). They're ignored now. Fixed a maps bug where 'Set Text Color...' didn't work on labels Fixed a glitch where zero sizing a docked pane makes it lose its title bar Fixed a crash if docking a zero height window 4.00.298 (2020-7-28) Added GMCP protocol support Added subset of MCSP protocol support (Mud Client * Sound Protocol) -- just the basic load/play/stop commands. Added WebP image link detection for the image viewer Fixed potential race condition in async downloads (Might explain some image viewer glitches/crashes) Fixed bug with puppets on startup, where puppets might not link with their character and will not function Fixed crash in maps when trying to undo/redo an operation that is not on the map that is currently visible 4.00.299 (2020-8-11) Fixed a small annoyance with spawn captures, by killing any active ones on disconnect and after a restore log replay Fixed store issue where the configuration can't be saved if the app is installed on a different drive (thank you Dranyth!) Fixed a bug where MCSP sounds can hang when disconnecting Fixed a bug where // to bypass command processing both sends and processes the command (which doesn't recognize it, so you get an error) AND NOW 4.00.300 (2020-9-24) Added Important Activity notification in trigger actions (number in red box on the tab) (So you can set things up to be told which activity you really care about) Added screen reader support for the output window (one big step towards visually impaired usability) Added 'beip.stats' GMCP package (see documentation) Added '/repeat' command to easily repeat something multiple times Added '/naws' command to send a telnet NAWS (Negotiate About Window Size) Added repeating timer support to '/delay' plus ability to kill individual timers Added imgur link handling to the image preview window (it's a hack but it works) Tweaked hash trigger coloring to be on the text being replaced, not just the first subexpression matched (Now if you're looking for the same word in different contexts in one regex, it will come out in the same colour in each! Bug introduced with using it with the 'whole line' recolouring, which will be working properly again in 301.) Changed tab control to have a modern flat look (mostly visible with tabbed spawn windows) (Better matching the rest of the previous design adjustments!) Changed tabbed spawn windows to have no outer padding (Saves space!) Changed Pueblo links to show what will be sent, and to add it to the input history when sent Fixed bug with restore log repair: when deleting unused restore log entries it would change the order of existing entries Fixed a bug copying a server in the connection dialog: it would copy the restore log entries and cause a repair leading to the previous bug Fixed a bug in ansi code parsing with ansi reverse: any color changes within the reversed block had foreground/background swapped Fixed a crash when closing a window with splitters in the text windows Due to several requests over time, as well as the ability to donate via subscription in the program itself, there now is a Patreon! If you can't or aren't inclined toward that, one can always feel free to express appreciation by dropping by the Discord to tell the dev 'thanks'. Or to ask for new/adjusted features. Tomayto, tomahto... As always, if you don't have it or it hasn't updated itself yet, you can grab the current version from the Microsoft Store (preferred), or alternatively from the github. Enjoy!

  Ok, well this is a shout in the dark so I'll shout in the dark, this is a silly idea and feel free to mock for it. On Gray Harbor there is a plot thread were people have lost 12-weeks worth of time. They suddenly found themselves shunted into the future. I'd like to take advantage of that and have an idea for a paired concept (does not need to stay that way). Two people wake up 12-weeks in their "future" suddenly engaged to each other with no idea how, when, or why this happened. They may not have even known each other before, or maybe they knew each other but hated one another. They could immediately call it quits because /WTF/ but <insert reason this isn't currently feasible here-- maybe various parents would be heart broken, maybe they have some sort of business contract, maybe they're local starlets and if they call it quits it'll endanger their credibility, etc>. I'll be playing a female character, and have literally no preference on gender of the other character. These characters not need to stay engaged forever and ever, maybe the first thing they do is figure out how to gracefully become unengaged. Maybe they decide to go through with it. idc. I will note, however, I am 100% more interested in the comedy and potential relationship building (foes to lovers is fun) than I am in any sort of TS. I don't have anything against TS but I don't do it very often these days so if that's your main interest this is not the concept for you.

  Just to add to this, I love the idea but the time requirements are just not quite possible for me. On certain days I'd not be able to post at all in fact. But I love the idea in theory!

  It's November. It's time for my yearly tradition of playing Skyrim through the holidays. The game is nine years old now. So one, I feel old just saying that. And secondly, that's long enough for it to be a tradition to begin with.
