Apparently my issue was a false positive. It seems Lemmy doesn’t like large images (even if small in size) but the message saying “too many pixels” was off-screen at that time.

I resized the image and reuploaded. Everything seems fine now.

I settled on Campaign Cartographer 3+.

It has a steep learning curve, but seems to be the most powerful tool by far.

I’d go for ███ ████ or ██-█.

Ah. Names. The curse of the GMs. 😅

Thanks!

Great! I’m taking you up on your offer.

Wecome to !scifi@ttrpg.network

That thought has crossed my mind. At first I thought it might be too broad, but now I’m thinking otherwise.

Maybe Lemmy isn’t as big (yet) as I initially thought.

It’s… weird. There seems to be a lot of people who play it, but you’re right: we don’t hear much about it.

There’s a Discord server (not a fan of Discord myself, I get lost easily) with tons of users (and many publishers) very much active. Even r/Traveller has decent traffic (but r/cepheusengine not so much). There’s a relatively active T5 community at MeWe as well.

Maybe most players are happy to use Discord. Aaaand maybe I should be asking over there if there would be people interested.

Yeah, I created it mostly out of nostalgia…

There used to be a Google+ community with the same purpose. When G+ closed, many groups flocked to all sorts of platforms (all walled gardens, mind you), but many communities also died in the process.

The easiest Traveller version is definitely the one from Mongoose.

Also, you should check out Seth Skorkowsky’s overview videos:

It’s already made in JS (but without a canvas).

So, OP: I guess it’s already Free and it’s already Open Source. Just save the HTML page somewhere.

From your last sentence, perhaps a few of Seth Skorkowsky’s videos fit the bill:

But then I have to ask: What do you think is a better player? How does your table work? What kind of games does your group prefer? What do you all appreciate the most from the game?

Some groups are delighted when everyone has a great backstory, while others yawn at it. Some groups enjoy voice acting while some of us don’t bother as long as you stay in character when needed. Some like full immersion and others mostly like to hang around with friends. Some like the sandbox while others wish for a carefully thought out plot. Some like hack n’ slash and others prefer political intrigue and social interactions.

How do you describe a fun, a great session?

Thanks! I’m pretty sure I’ll have UV clearance.

Thanks!

And here I was thinking that no Traveller/Cepheus players had made it to the Fediverse…!

Yeah, there’s probably not an easy way to link to the full list of communities over at ttrpg.network and have them displayed properly regardless of each user’s preferred instance.

Then again, I’m new to this. Perhaps @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone knows a better way.

Hi! We could add Kult: kult@ttrpg.network

AW’s page used to link to many hacks… then they just stopped keeping track. I assume it was too much work to keep up.

You can still check the Wayback Machine, for example: https://web.archive.org/web/20210806103142/http://apocalypse-world.com/pbta/

EDIT: The current page links to several other lists.

Done. Thanks!
