Well, keep on keepin on.

Good lord, i go away for years and it's still the same people chatting in here.

Back into the void. Have a nice day.

Thanks. Was curious if there was something that prompted all of this higher up that I missed. Ripple effect makes sense.

Try this again in the right place. Question: Was there a change in the Stack platform policies or procedures that has prompted moderator exodus? Long term moderators on RPG have stepped down in recent as well.

@Ash I saw your retirement notice, I wanted to step in for a minute to thank you for your work with this site. Best of luck in the next thing you do.

Though I really miss in-person D&D sessions. Last six or so years have only been virtual tables.

Matt Mercer sets unrealistic standards of mens hair at the table. Oh right and also unrealistic standards of GMing. Love his voice though.

Gut wants an eldritch cannon too.

Narf!

Brain says "Any cannon is an enemy if you're on the wrong side of it.", though game logic is different.

Ten years of this site? Oh my how time flies.

@nitsua60 I wasn't here much to talk to, but I've seen you around when I was more active. Thank you for your contributions during your administration.

Oh, they have one of those now? Nice.

Print on Demand seems to be a thing too.

Publishing and printing are costly, so the eBook route appeals to many.

I don't know how flooded the market is with 5E 3rd party content. It was a complete mess in 3.0/3.5 days. Getting your name out there isn't easy. If you're aiming for a product on retail hobby store shelves, that's even harder.

Oh, it wasn't me that linked it. That was JohnP.

That article isn't a bad starting point, does point to relevant related articles in addition to how to target something for 5E.

The low overhead route is getting a PDF of your content together and getting it on drivethrurpg, but I hear their cut is a bit much if you don't have much of a following. Knowing the rules of publishing content for the game system you target is super important.

Like getting a self-written adventure published for sale?

Hi. Sneaking in for that item on the star list to read at home, the Kingmaker thing

That's why I only trust every prime numbered encounter!

You can't trust the people who tell you to not trust people.

Anybody in a secret society is a communist. Now pick a secret society.

Huh. Some call for an annual survey on this site? Not even sure what kind of metrics people would be interested in.

@nitsua60 I do not miss working university for that reason.

Generally we discourage having dakka at the table.

Space Ork conflict resolution: Loudest player wins, ties broken by biggest player.

Appreciate it.

@KorvinStarmast Sadly it's not as often as I'd like anymore. I abandoned half of my active Stack involvements and my new work location is not conductive to lurking in chat for too long when not on break.

Lunch is over, back to the slog.

Good Omens!

"Plus if we're running around offing our own kind, the angels are gonna notice eventually and try to capitalize on it. Be discrete, I guess?"

Neutral Demon Player "I dunno man, killing off everyone who does something good is gonna tip the scales too much and get people proactively killing anyone who looks like they're even thinking of helping. This is fine for the solo powerhouse demons, but some of us need gangs man."

"Come on man, Xeloath and Ullyoath have legit evil characters, why you gotta do this?"

"Chattur'gha, are you really playing another super-holy Paladin? Ugh. What an edgelord."

I figure Demons play D&D just like the rest, but it's edgy when they play a 'Good' aligned party.

Mathemagic

Does that make the transformers change noise?

Dangit, time to go.

Hi. I lost my desk where I could hide and occasionally look in here. boooo.

Haven't been back here in a while.. Letsee if there's anything good in the star list.

(Thursdays are empowered)

Round up if it's Thursday otherwise round down.

Evil Crawford: Roll all of the dice you have. Take the average. Good enough.

I live. I just haven't gamed in like. 6 years.

I'll emerge from the mists long enough to wish the new mod team luck. You're going to need it.

Yep, wrong place.
