windows can still play castle of the winds? i play it all the time. In fact, i just booted it up again a moment ago to make sure it didnt break recently or something. I dont remember ever having any issues playing it, and ive played it off and on for decades. In fact, googling real quick, it looks like my abandonware even has a "easy installer" for it.

If a user is banned on their home instance, that ban is federated out to all instances. If a user is banned on a remote instance, they're just banned locally on that instance, and their account remains active for all other instances.

They're likely some remote users who have interacted enough with your instance to be federated over, and then banned on their home instance.

They were ripping off both their users and anyone using affiliate links (including the content creators who promoted them)

During checkout, when you clicked the "find coupon" button in honey (which it prompted you to do on screen during checkout), it would strip out any affiliate link and add their own. So if you clicked on a product from a review, they would strip out the referral link from the YouTube video or website that sent you and indicate they sent you instead and get the commission.

In addition, they were working with online retailers and basically extorting them. They said that if retailers paid them a fee, they got to pick the discount code that was used during checkout. So if there was a 20% coupon and a 5% coupon, stores could pay them to ignore the 20%.

This, in turn, was basically faking out their users, thinking they were giving them the "best deal" like they claimed to.

Might be worth starting in c/RPG with basic questions, and if they end up drumming up a lot of conversation maybe a community is warranted? I know traveller has been around a long time, but I don't ever hear too much about it so I'd guess the community for it is pretty niche

That's the flameskull from the d&d 5e monster manual

[–] eerongal@ttrpg.network 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Monster tokens are probably one of my "unsung heroes" of gaming when it comes to travel; I know people (myself included) probably always go to with minis, but if i'm going to a convention, traveling for the holidays, etc. tossing a whole pile of tokens into a bag make for great addition. No particular brand, just whatever i've picked up over the years.

Yeah, I don't think there's any way to report communities, just users and messages

[–] eerongal@ttrpg.network 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Nope, definitely not. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. FYI, the reports came through a little weird (since it's about a community) and I accidentally hit ban on your account, but I've rescinded it (also on mobile so the interface was a bit different)

i feel like "does he not like bilbo?" can basically sum up gandalf's actions in the hobbit more generally

[–] eerongal@ttrpg.network 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

yeah, i picked it up too; The site you get the PDFs from is pretty bad UI design-wise.

You've obviously gotten the base level answer, but to add some color here - certain types of food, such as dried pasta, rice, beans, grains, high proof alcohol, vinegars, and basically anything frozen to name a few, never spoil in the sense that they're unsafe to eat.

Flavor, however, is an entirely different matter. Just ask anyone who has eaten freezer burnt food.

Pretty much any high proof alcohol will fall into this category. And, if it's unopened, it should retain most of its flavor for a very long time. Once opened, however, it can deteriorate relatively quickly, depending on how it was stored.

Since the 70s. It was in an act signed by Nixon.

 

Thought this might be appreciated here. Looks like a whole host of books, I have no idea how these particular editions are as I haven't played em

Today marks one year since the TTRPG network was set up after the whole hubbub over at reddit. While we certainly haven't been the largest instance in town, we're still reasonably active, and overall i think things are going pretty good.

Not really much to say, just wanted to point out our fedi-versary. Thanks for participating and hope everyone is still enjoying themselves!

 

Wotc dropped a big video today all about the upcoming edition. There's a few articles breaking down some of the information out there already.

 

Just a small FYI update, the host that we used just informed us that our website is now certified green hosted by the green web foundation, meaning that our site is completely hosted by clean energy.

You should see the badge display in our sidebar about it starting today.
