Moving to aeltarnen@mastodon.art I hope it will work better for my arts.

#playfromhome first experiences: two sessions of OD&D over roll20 so far ...

• we used discord audio chat, as roll20 chat was unreliable (why? isn't both webrtc?)

• I still prefer rolling real dice, just trust everyone!

• Prepping seems to be more work - maps, char sheets, quite fiddly ...

• drawing (hex)maps as you go is a pain ... I found it very disruptive, as it just takes too long

• it's much harder to "read the table"

• I find it more tiring. Don't plan sessions longer than 3 hours!

Any other options for collaborative drawing pads?

I guess now is a good time to check https://tabletopia.com #PlayFromHome

@kensanata how about jitsi + some collaborative drawing pad? Personally I don't think I need a dice bot. I trust my players to just roll their own real dice.

how about the ability to hide individual posts i don't want to see, without blocking anyone or muting anything. sometimes there's just a single outlier post and i don't want to make any permanent changes to my account over it. facebook has such a feature ("see fewer posts like this" obviously irrelevant) #mastodev @Gargron

Hello everybody!

I hope we're all ready for the first #tabletopmonthly challenge!

The themes for #ttm1 are: Adventurous, Cold, and Retro.

Keep in mind, these tags are completely open to interpretation. Apply them as literally or figuratively as you see fit. The goal is to finish it by the end of month. Even if you don't finish in time, don't be afraid to post what you have. Even an in progress piece of work can be educational to the community!

search.fedi.app and fedi.app

A followbot from the former is currently going around, and the latter is showing people from instances already suspended by hellsite and others.

Hello Tabletop.Social!

This is the #tabletopmonthly guide. Read below if you're interested in joining a monthly community event.

Three keywords will be announced at the beginning of every month for inspiration or guidance. Incorporate them however you want in a piece of tabletop related work. It can be painting a figure, writing a short campaign module, sketching a character, or anything else in between.

#introduction
During the day I manage a cinema and co-manage a family.
At night I paint minis, play games of all kinds (mostly RPGs), cook, watch weird movies, read speculative fiction, listen to punk & lofi while dreaming of a better world. I'm also into comics, photography and free culture.
