RE Battlemaps: strongly opposed to allowing them. Lemmy.world already has a battlemaps community. Ttrpg.network is welcome to make such a community too, I suppose. That content works for many more ttrpgs than dnd, so putting it in its own space makes more sense than allowing it in here.
RE artwork, if someone wants to post a hand-drawn scene of their group's epic win/loss against the bbeg, that's cool. I think we like seeing dnd success stories from folks, and a picture can be worth a thousand words. But, if that person is open for commissions, I would strongly prefer not to know about it.
IMO advertising needs to be segregated to opt-in communities kept exclusively for that purpose, much like LFG posts get their own space to mot pollute the general discussion.
(Similarly, links out to other sites that have comment sections, like youtube, should IMO be required to have actual supporting text content worthy of discussion, as without it they are just more advertising. That's outside the scope of the original discussion tho.)
Edit: RE homebrew--IMO it too should be sequestered, as it represents a divergence from everyone else's frame of reference.
Fine points on everything (minus links), but frankly, until people start actually posting content here, I would rather not splinter the community into more tiny communities. There are nearly 5000 users subscribed to this community, and yet every day 90% of the posts come from me be it news, official art, comics, etc.
Until the lurkers become posters, what’s the point of sequestering anything at all, If a member of !battlemaps posts something here, its 1 post out of 50 for the week.
We must drive more posting and sharing before we even consider breaking things out into their own communities, otherwise this community will be nothing but winging and whining about Hasbro/WoTC, 1 line questions with 1 line answers, etc.
Hopefully you understand what I am getting at here.
Oh, certainly! But then, I would avoid coming up with a policy at all until the amount of content reaches critical mass. If you're not ready for whatever will be the right policy, why bother enacting one that you know you'll have to walk back or ammend later?
I have one large playlist busted into sections. Actual film soundtracks sprinkled around lighter ambient electronic, castlevania stuff in the middle and getting progressively louder and spacier. The idea was to avoid lyrics and also the oft heard kick/snare “unn-tiss”. It’s a tribute to The Perfect Spotify. Please enjoy.
After all, some DMs boast of players who will enter a strange town and happily spend an evening chatting with folks for just the fun of roleplaying. Such players are a treasure.
I think if someone did this at my game, I’d go take a nap on the couch and have them wake me up when they’re done.
I've always hated clicking through the dialog options just to find the one that will move the plot along. For me, chatting up townspeople is like making me roll perception when the DM already knows there's nothing to find.
I'm already terrible at socializing with real people. Why would I spend my precious free time pretending to socialize with imaginary people?
My players just had a meeting with a dragonborn crime lord. Before they met the boss, they were led in by an elf who was sort of the majordomo for the establishment.
Two “seasons” ago, the barbarian picked up a little figurine of an elvish soldier made out of pewter. It was absolutely just the product of a random trinkets roll table, and she’s been carrying it ever since.
She decided that she was convinced that it looked uncannily like the elf who brought them in, and at the end of this tense meeting with someone who, by all accounts, is a dangerous and powerful person in the city, she slides the figurine across the table to him. “I think we both know who this looks like. Give it to them, won’t you?”
She’s a pretty new player, and I love the kind of non sequitur stuff that she comes up with in RP situations.
In case you don’t feel like reading the “spider web” feature, here is the TLDR: You can cast the web spell once per rest without using a spell slot. When cast in this way, it counts as non-magical.
I’m sorry. I didn’t actually test it! It works without pay. I guess I was a little sensitive knowing that Spotify is taking open podcasts and bringing them behind their service.
I always try to find the RSS feeds and support podcasts that way.
Sure thing, generally there are basically no reports to handle on this community. Everyone seems to get along and things to pretty smoothly. What we expect in a moderator is to be a member of this community, while not necessarily be active to the extent of myself posting every day, an occasional contribution to the group would be very much appreciated. Beyond that, generally just being on the lookout for infighting, rule breakers, etc and resolving conflicts.
The ultimate goal of this community is to be open for all (within the confines of the rules both here and of .world), to be accepting of everyone, and to be a safe place for everyone from absolute beginners to the most experienced players. For the immediate moment, collecting all types of posts here is greatly welcome from art, questions, homebrew, etc. If in the future the community begins to weigh heavily on one category we can then break that off into a seperate community, but at this time we do not want to fracture the community, and rather let it grow.

I am currently awaiting an answer of yes or no from a handful of regulars, but if I don’t hear back tonight I will be in touch with you.
