JellyMuppet wrote a twitter thread about here, there, be monsters! by wendi yu, one of the games in the upcoming LATAM Breakout Kickstarter. A rules-lite response to monster-hunting media where you are the monsters.
"10 Indie TTRPG Designers To Watch In 2022" poorly researched article by Declan Lowthian for CBR. Regardless of genre, style, or complexity, independent tabletop games have something for everyone. Be on the lookout for these designers in 2022.
(When I say "poorly researched," I mean obvious nonsense like claiming that Gubat Banwa is lacking art.)
I'm seeing notifications for flagged chat messages in the top bar of this page: https://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/info/130625
I don't think I have the site priveleges to interact with flagged chat messages in any way, and indeed if I click on the notification it brings me to an empty page that says "There are no flags to display that you have not voted on"
Are these notifications a bug? Or am I supposed to be able to see the number of flagged chat messages for some reason?
Oh huh, I never noticed it before. Are those flags visible from anywhere besides the room info pages? I've never seen the notification while, like, actually using Stack chat...
That's one of the problems with the chat flagging system, honestly. Flags are pushed to everybody in THE ENTIRE CHAT ECOSYSTEM with a dozen or two thousand rep, and the fastest responders get to choose how to respond.
Yeah that sounds less than ideal, I wouldn't expect people who've never been to a given room to be able to make good snap judgments about whatever's going on there.
Dark mode was introduced to StackOverflow about a year ago (blog post), but as of now, it still isn't available on our site (or any other site as far as I know).
Back then, it was stated that
For now, we have no plans to bring dark mode to the many sites across the Stack Exchange network. Many o...
@ThomasMarkov I had a joking reply lined up, but then I considered it, and it isn't a bad idea, and it might be something that we could implement with care.
@Akixkisu I'll never pass up a chance to dig at JC's tweet ruling era.
@doppelgreener Chat UI? Never met him.
@Akixkisu We could conceivably handle questions about RPG authorship where conflict between coauthors is in view, and the problem-author tag would make perfect sense.
My answer here is "so very much yes I want dark mode", but I don't have anything else interesting to say about the matter, and have no knowledge whatsoever of how to implement it, so I'm not sure if I should post a brief answer to that effect or not. — Thomas Markov2 mins ago
Should I post a very brief answer, just to measure support for "yes darkmode please"?
@Scrollreader I got ahold of some 12 sided d4 dice and I preer them. (It has 12 sides with 3 1's, 3 2's, 3 3's and 3 4's. Unlike the caltrop d4, it actually rolls. ๐๐
@AncientSwordRage Cthulhu agrees with you, I suspect.
@ThomasMarkov sure, why not. It's the old "run it up the flag pole and see if anyone salutes it" deal. ๐
This site's theme includes artwork of cyborgs firing lasers at a dragon.
I could have sworn that it looked like it came from the RPG Rifts, but a quick Google image search for Rifts artwork isn't turning anything up.
This leads me to wonder what, if any, game the artwork in this site's banner is ...
Going by the wayback crawls the artist website would appear to relocated sometime in '13, so we might have had a meta answer with a dead link on delivery
Turning out to be one of those days... Woke up early, with that "up and at 'em" attitude, forgot my phone (simple easy mistake, and was only just out the door so no biggie), went to get fuel aaand I forgot my wallet.
Also had to get a refiull on my prescription, which I almost forgot about (thankfully I had made plans for that already - left the prescription in the car).
After all that, I still arrived at work an hour late
