Thanks for crossposting! Pardon my Lemmy ignorance, but I have a question. So, when you crosspost, it creates a copy of the linked thread on the new community? Meaning there are two separate but identical articles but on different communities with separate sets of comments? I had originally crossposted the first post to sci-fi, but I wasn’t expecting the two copies thing, so I thought I had done something wrong. I deleted the crosspost after that and left it only on the traveller community. Was I doing it ‘right’ originally after all?

Dang, somebody gave $2,500 (and ten cents) towards that bundle.

I would just say have fun and embrace learning as you go. I have not played this game but hopefully the rules light aspect allows you to not worry about the mechanics of the game and focus on story and fun. I like the cozy animal games like this, and I expect it will be similar in vibe to Humblewood and Mausritter.

The problems you encounter will likely have to do with being a new DM and will happen no matter what system you run. There is a near endless supply of new DM advice on the internet which you could search through. I particularly like Sly Flourish and recommend reading his Top Tips for RPG Game Masters. If you take that advice to heart, it will help you avoid the common DM pitfalls.

This looks great, thank you for sharing!

This is fucking cool.

I see what you did there

I linked to an article on EN World that has links to other sites. There is no store or checking out to be done on EN World itself.

I recommend contacting the customer service people for whatever website you’re referring to.

The D&D pornographic supplement tangent was a fun time.

Nom nom

The Ukrainian hospital bundle looks really good. Lots of stuff in there with a bunch of solo RPGs. The bundle is probably worth it for the Cairn and Mausritter stuff alone.

I am all for whatever stirs up more content and discussion that isn’t memes.

I am looking forward to delving into the Dark Sun book.

They do make communication more efficient, as long as everyone understands the definition. If they don’t, then acronyms and initials quickly make the communication inefficient, or worse, make the person that isn’t in the know feel excluded. In my professional life, I spend a lot of my time translating acronyms and trying to help people navigate the confusion of not knowing what things mean and wondering if they’re in over their head, all due to the constant use of jargon.

My suggestion is to definite your acronyms the first time you use them or, if it’s a short message, spell the whole thing out and don’t mention the abbreviation at all.

For anybody else that hates needless acronyms, FOSS apparently stands for Free and Open Source Software.

Thank you for continuing to share these!
