Like a lot of people, toying with moving over to mastodon. Here I am: rumorsmatrix@dice.camp Would appreciate a follow/heads up if you can see this and you're also moving over 👋
spent a couple of hours of bank holiday Monday un-shooting my own foot after a customer reported a pretty serious issue
Debugging is like being the detective in a crime movie where you are also the murderer. Let's all appreciate the thrill of finding the bug you accidentally wrote yourself.

Paid my postage and read digital version; looks fantastic for playing sea or space pirates, and it’s so modular it would click right into Starforged OR Ironsworn games. I’ve played solo and in groups, vanilla and heavily homebrewed; Tomkin projects are an instant-buy for me.

as always, web 2.0 is a corporate-controlled monster rumorsmatrix.com/web20.html
Too Much Information being hosted and trapped on Discord is direct proof we need to make people write web 1.0 websites for everything again

Star Trek Online. If I can stay at Earth Spacedock (or Risa), then yeah, sign me up. I might not want to leave.

First session report from my #Starforged #WolvesUponTheCoast campaign. I actually played this last weekend. Shipwrecked on the small island of Rhus, Estrid leads her warband against some marauding merfolk. rumorsmatrix.com/esoteric-he… #ttrpg #soloRPG @ShawnTomkin @LukeGearing

I wrote a blog post about starting a solo campaign in @LukeGearing's #WolvesUponTheCoast setting using #Starforged. Not an obvious choice, but it's working very well. rumorsmatrix.com/esoteric-he…

(this post is a bit of an introduction to meshing the setting and system, I'm a couple of sessions in right now, which I'll write up shortly)
haven't used the #twine web UI for a while, it's been updated! Sadly it's now unusable because the menu bar now reads "back passage" and I can't stop sniggering

spent the night reading through the #starforged book. Really great as a physical object, and just feels nicer than scrolling a PDF. Plus the artwork (@joshmeehanart)! It's got me excited to play it more... even though I'm already playing a weekly guided game (w/ @toasterfalcon).

#starforged arrived today and well worth the wait, this book is gorgeous and the system is so much fun to play. Thank you, @ShawnTomkin!

if any mutuals have a cohost invite code, I would like one (DMs open). Thank you?
so where do we go? the answer is IRC and newsgroups and handmade homepages you serve off an old pc you keep in a cupboard

had our first airlock defenestration in #piratesofdrinax tonight. Surprised it took this long, tbh RIP Corey, you were a security risk (@toasterfalcon, #ttrpg)

I really love the lore and ongoing story of #destiny2, but I just can't take the Witness seriously as an antagonist. It's so cartoony and goofy looking compared to everything else. Kind of wish the darkness/pyramids had no individual personification instead.
as is traditional, logged into #destiny2 to discover I'd missed an entire season. Oh well, piratin' with Spider sounds fun. Lot of sci-fi piracy going on right now.
