@anastas2002@dice.camp @CheekyKokako it is genuine, set up by a partner (not Pinnacle), because I had a few chats with their admin. They had originally copied an aggressive block list from elsewhere and Qoto (my instance) was on it.

They removed it, but I still can't follow, so not sure what the issue is (could be a version thing; Qoto is a bit behind/customised).

But worth checking why it is being flagged.. maybe the "@" in the URL ... or maybe it is a shared server used by bad actors?

Either way, I don't think following from the Fediverse would be affected. You can paste the URL into the search/follow box (not your browser), or try their account @peginc@savageworlds.social

The is such a small amount of content that putting it under has only benefits, and zero cost -- rules can't be copyrighted, and the was perpetual. Many other games already use CC. Negative association with brand doesn't make sense, as the SRD doesn't contain any brand stuff.

Another upside, is that it leapfrogs the and crowd -- so are Paizo , @peginc@savageworlds.social , Chaosium all now going to move to Creative Commons as well? That would be great.

Ironsworn: Starforged is now available in print through Modiphius! Order online, or check with your favorite local game store about stocking or ordering Starforged.

Thanks, as always, for supporting my creative endeavors!

@CheekyKokako I didn't see it mentioned yet, so Pinnacle Entertainment (PEG / Savage Worlds) have an account (& server): savageworlds.social/@peginc

(But I couldn't get it working, to follow)

I got TeslaMate (github.com/adriankumpf/teslama) up and running via docker, so I can start collecting some data from my new car, and just did my first trip (to the shops at lunch).

Just a simple docker compose deploy, with PostgreSQL for the database, Grafana for the reporting, and Mosquitto (MQTT) for integration.

It runs on my own local server (QNAP NAS), but could be your own server in the cloud (you would need to add a secure proxy in front for access), and calls the Tesla API for realtime data.

@CheekyKokako the free basic rules were never OGL. They were normal copyright.

For OGL, you need the System Reference Document (SRD).

@jameswallis Well, my wife phones me from the other end of the house, i.e. use mobiles as an intercom.

For the front door bell, I made sure to get a wired version, running on PoE, so no battery/wifi issues (but still vulnerable to complexity due to networking).

@majcher Starting from scratch with role-playing games, it is not D&D, but you can look at Fate fate-srd.com/ . Download the Fate Accelerated version and it will cover the basics.

RPGs are collaborative games, so you will need a few fellow players. You could try looking for a local game shop, or convention, and join a game there

If you really want just D&D, then pick up the Starter Set, which has already created characters and all the basics.

Of a half dozen pages on how to remove dual boot Linux (I'm giving an old computer to someone else) only one of them had a sanity check to change the default boot loader first, and make sure it was working (reboot a few times) before deleting the Linux partition. All the rest said to delete Linux first, then try and repaid/fix the boot, which seems quite crazy! The safe article: itsfoss.com/uninstall-ubuntu-l

@cenbe there is no need for a new licence. They should just use like several highly rated systems do such as Blades in the Dark (), Dungeon World (), , or . CC also meets their goal of being managed by an independent organisation.

It is surprising how complicated mechanics can be in even simple systems. Scum & Villainy / Blades in the Dark / has a ~20 step process to resolve action rolls (considering each bonus or decision that can apply).

Took me a while, but just realised the Tesla models are based on l33t -- they even have t-shirt/clothes with S3XY on them. Nice.

Have upgraded my to Matter and now have: iPhone --[ ]--> Apple (as controller) --[WiFi IPv6]--> (as border router) --[Thread mesh]--> Eve Energy

I was there was the original OGL was created. I know first hand how hard those drafting it tried to sincerely make it so that it would last forever and would never screw over anyone that used it. So when we decided to create a Cypher System open license with the same goals, of course we used the OGL as a model. And now after two days of potential WotC shenanigans, people are looking at our open license as though it's dodgy. Sigh.
