Scio ,

Could you please share some resources about how to reuse a web-finger ID for XMPP?

Scio ,

For a people who solved mortality, definitely so.

Scio ,

This too is brilliant!

Do you have any write-ups or something about how you make this series OP?

Scio ,

Well, you now have an audience of at the very least one more, if a latecomer!

Thank you very much for the link!

I've never enjoyed longform campaign actual plays much either. It's just not feasible to keep up with, and unless you're playing, most campaign RPGs have too much bookkeeping to pay attention to. And even as a background listen, which I'm sure is how most people do it, gets dull.

And yet I've watched quite a few though. It works only if I enjoy the people playing, their wits etc. I have no chemistry with Critical Roll, Mercer included. But really enjoyed Acquisition Incorporated: C Team.

But these days the only kind of APs I find myself watching and consistently enjoying is faster indie RPG one-shots. In particular, Mystery Quest (YouTube) where Tom runs a one-shot for a rotating cast of friends (all of whom very funny people) each month. No miniatures, barely any rules referencing. The heaviest game they run is CoC, and it never gets in the way! There's even a "duet" Thousand Year Old Vampire session that went surprisingly well.

Anytime any other podcast or channel I already follow for their humor and chemistry does a one shot I also like to listen. The short ones are always a delight. No fatigue, no fomo. It works.

I don't think I'd ever even consider watching a campaign AP had I started here. There are just not fun unless you're in them, playing.

I used to do that as well—playing them in bed with a timer when I couldn't sleep. All familiar and cozy :]

Only stopped once I realized I couldn't remember must beyond the first few minutes which was still enough to trigger "FOMO"!

It's nice to let your soul loose once in a while...

Or more simply: The internet is just the network. The web is one of the handful of "apps" that run directly using that network. It just also happens to be able to run apps of its own these days and is a pretty "killer" one at that :)

(Edit: please disregard the wrong link that summoned the bot below. It's been fixed. And I do not have a Balatro problem...)

Scio ,

Relate.

Scio ,

I've read a few of the OSR books they published. Hard to judge a publisher from a small set of their catalog tbh, and they have a pretty wide catalog. Especially since I've not actually read any of the licensed RPGs they've put out.

Would like to take a look at the Homeworld and Dune books though.
