Welcome to Sci-Fi RPGs - !scifi@ttrpg.network

A community about Sci-Fi themed tabletop RPGs.

One game I’ve recently adopted is Traveller, but I haven’t found a lemmy community yet.

I’m trying to decide if it’s worth creating a community but I’m no expert and I don’t think I’d be able to contribute more than a couple of posts.

Sure, I’ll probably have several questions no doubt, but would there be anyone to answer them?

Anyone here would be interested?

Alternatively, is it worth creating a potential “ghost town” community?

Update: Alas, I ended up creating !scifi@ttrpg.network instead.

Just an fyi, we will be going down temporarily for a postrgres upgrade tomorrow morning around 9AM cst, this is in preparation for upgrading Lemmy to 19.5. downtime shouldn't be significantly long.

Edit: upgrade complete

I decided to create !micro_maps@ttrpg.network. I even created a first post.

A place for all those doodles in the corner of a page in your notebook. :)

Just a small FYI update, the host that we used just informed us that our website is now certified green hosted by the green web foundation, meaning that our site is completely hosted by clean energy.

You should see the badge display in our sidebar about it starting today.

Just an FYI, ttrpg.network has updated to 19.2. There's apparently some potential issues with cached logins, and you must delete your cookies/cache, or log out and remove and readd your account to most apps. Let me know if you have any other problems.

It's been down for over a month now. If you navigate to https://pathfinder.social you can see a blank Lemmy instance, but if you try to go anywhere else on that domain it just hard fails.

On your own local instance you can still post to it, but because the host instance is gone it won't federate. So there's this post by @Jaarsh119@ttrpg.network which is on the ttrpg.network instance, but I can't see it from my own instance. Likewise, I created this post around the same time on my home instance, but you won't be able to find it from ttrpg.network.

Is anyone around who might know what's up with the admins of that instance, @SenseiRat@pathfinder.social, @doggoblingames@pathfinder.social, and @HunterHog@pathfinder.social, or have a way to contact them?

I've been working on a simple opt-in solution, primarily for Lemmy end users like me (but also helpful for admins), to easily check the status/health of their favourite instance.

🌎 lemmy-meter.info

You can find the details of the implementation in

❓ @admins: would you be interested in adding your instance to lemmy-meter?

You don't need to do anything except confirming - I'll handle the rest. It should only take a few minutes for your instance to show up in lemmy-meter.

Out of the box it will send only 4 HTTP GET requests per minute to your instance. However that is totally configurable if it sounds too much or too little.

• !lemmy_meter@lemmy.ml
• [#lemmy-meter:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#lemmy-meter:mat

Basically what I said. This is the latest episode in the main speedbump I keep hitting with lemmy.

I'm trying to follow broadly when new TTRPG instances crop up. (DIYRPG.org is the latest I know of, and the one I'm currently having trouble with.) When I navigate to the communities from my ttrpg.network account, I can't see any of the existing posts.

So is the problem on this end (ttrpg.network isn't asking for the content) or their end (diyrpg.org isn't sending the content)? And is there anything I can do about it?

If this can't work smoothly, I'd at least like to know how it works.

Are there any Squabbles people coming over here due to the exodus?

Anyone know if there is a way to view the list of communities (both subscribed and not) on ttrpg.network from one of the mobile apps (ie. mlem or memmy)? On the website I know I can just click "Communities" at the top, but I don't see anything similar on the mobile apps.

Just finished updating to 18.3 here. Supposedly there's a good amount of DB improvements so you should see some improved performance. Let me know if you have any issues.

It caused some significant downtime earlier as it was updating, so apologies if you noticed the site offline for about an hour or so.

I just removed the restriction on creating communities. Originally this restriction was put in place to that any reddit mods jumping ship could claim their communities, but now that it has slowed down, I removed the restriction.

New communities must still have TTRPG relevance, however.

Hi all!

Another post from me! This time i wanted to talk about the lemmyverse and more broadly the fediverse.

We have a previous post talking about some tips and tricks with lemmy over here.

However, it was recently brought to my attention that some users of ttrpg.network might be going out in to other TTRPG communities in other fediverse instances, and either harassing users or asking them to close down and consolidate to here!

I don't consider this ok. I would please ask that you respect the rules and etiquette of other communities and instances.

Multiple communities across the fediverse for the same topic is a feature, and not a bug!

There's many reasons this is good, however, chiefly among them - No one person or team can be all controlling on a subject. If you don't like what I, a mod here, a mod/admin on lemmy.world, etc. do, you can merely subscribe to a sister community on a different instance! You can also subscribe individually to all c

Hi, all! I'm Eerongal, the admin who set up the TTRPG Network.

After merely a month after working out the details around this lemmy instance with a number of other reddit TTRPG mods, the growth of this instance has been quite explosive! This is a good thing, it's always good for a community to grow.

However

Growth is not without its costs. For transparency, the current projected costs of running this instance is about $25, around $12-ish dollars for the hosting, and another $13-ish for mail hosting, plus about $6 every year for domain registration. this is ok. I signed up for this knowing the cost, and being perfectly ok with fronting the bill for now.

This seems like it's definitely going to be a more long term thing.

Originally when setting this up, I had no idea if this would just be a temporary refuge during reddit blackout, or if this would be something more. As it stands, we've had a ton of growth in just this short amount of time. As stated above, this is great! F

I was setting up my account today, and I noticed that you can enable 2FA, but the link to actually link it to an authenticator doesn't seem to work. The button for installation link appears (after saving settings and refreshing the page), but clicking it does not do anything.

What I have tried so far:

• On Firefox with all extensions disabled
• On Chrome with no extensions

Maybe I am just blind, but I cannot locate the server-wide rules for this instance. Would anyone be willing to point me in the right direction?

I'm used to reddit being able to backtrack into the main feed by just clicking left or right from the post and it would be a really nice addition. But if that's too much, a back button would be appreciated!
