since youve mostly gotten your answers on the basic questions, i will add some other information here for you as FYI. If you're wondering, you can use regular old acrylic hobby paints for miniatures. It's going to take some extra work and a lot of mixing to get it the right consistency and will be a learning curve there.

If you're wondering if it's worth the money to spend on mini paints, that's going to be entirely up to your preference. Mini paints can be quite pricey vs regular old craft store paints. I would maybe suggest dabbling with regular paints and getting some thinner medium and see if mixing them works out well for you. If you find it too annoying/frustrating/not worth your time then get mini paints. Mini paints can basically be used right out of the bottle.

i've never played it; How does the system work? is it a traditional d20-like system or something else?

This upgrade is now completed

 

Just an FYI, pict-rs (the picture service used by lemmy) will be going down for an upgrade tomorrow morning. It should only last for about an hour or so, during which time image upload, image viewing, thumbnails, etc. will be unavailable. The rest of the services (lemmy, comments, discussion, etc.) will all be available during this time.

Hardcodex has printable spell cards, and they updated for 2024 spells it looks like.

 

Apparently chris perkins announced his retirement from WotC today.

yeah, the pict-rs service needed to be restarted it looks like. That just happened a few moments ago, and i think things are looking good from my side.

at the end of the day, the issue is the pict-rs service (which is separate from lemmy) isnt...the greatest.

[–] eerongal@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

i did a little testing after i noticed that local communities had the missing image placeholder; It looks like i was unable to upload any images, so i opened a ticket with the host; I would presume the pict-rs service is having issues again.

[–] eerongal@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 month ago

I'm not seeing any issues....Can you try clearing your browser cache, or maybe open in an incognito tab?

What problems are you seeing? the same missing image thumbnail?

[–] eerongal@ttrpg.network 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

is it? it currently looks fine to me. maybe it was just a blip? are you still seeing issues?

 

I posted a rumor link on this last night, and removed it because I wasn't sure of the source; looks like we have a firm source about it now, though, guess project sigil is effectively dead.

[–] eerongal@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, looks like it got all jacked up when I posted it from my app. Gonna fix it

[–] eerongal@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 months ago

Sure thing, done

[–] eerongal@ttrpg.network 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, maybe there were some federation issues or something with a particular instance or two. I think Lemmy reaches out on demand to cache the thumbnail the first time it's requested, but posts get federated over independently.

So if no one has viewed a post in the UI that's been federated over, and the instance and ours developed communication issues between then, it's possible that it fails to grab the thumbnail when someone is browsing in the UI

[–] eerongal@ttrpg.network 1 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I'm not seeing that, I appear to see thumbnails and previews. Is this still happening for you? It could be having issues with specific instances if there's federation issues

 

Yesterday we had a bit of an outage with image storage on our instance; Got some messages about it at one point, but that said, everything should be back up and running. Is anyone else running in to issues? I had one user mention that they had a problem this morning, but I wanted to see if anyone else was running in to problems.

Let me know! If there's issues, we can get to the bottom of it, and get things hammered out.

 
 

Thought this might be appreciated here. Looks like a whole host of books, I have no idea how these particular editions are as I haven't played em
