Gloomhaven Role Playing Game Some awesome folks have worked on this! Announced! #ttrpg #rpg #gloomhaven
Unlike other RPG systems reliant on dice and set character build structures – Gloomhaven: The Role Playing Game will continue to uphold one of Cephalofair’s core mission statements – to “minimize randomness and reward player savvy”.

@amber I would say the closet thing is Matrix.
It's federated like Fediverse and it uses end to end encryption everywhere that isn't a public channel.
It's still quite new so it's not yet as slick as Discord and Signal.

#IPv6 is now > 50% in the USA, from Google stats. Worldwide it is ~40%, and growing 5% per year. Australia is only about 30%. https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=per-country-ipv6-adoption

Wow, it's like a bunch of lemmings @pawelpabich, @jstangroome, @rbanks54
At least @adrian was a few months ahead of the crowd (and @damianm has been here longer than I have)
I just want to know how @tatham has 140 posts and 216 followers in just 30 days!
#Thread and #Matter are almost here; my #SmartHome Google Nest Hub Max is broadcasting a Thread mesh network, and I have an #Eve smart plug ready to update the firmware on Dec 12. In the meanwhile, my latest blog post on #SmartBuildings and setting up a test #OpenThread border router is up: https://purple.telstra.com/blog/running-an-openthread-border-router
List of #IPv6 services in Azure (from May this year): https://msandbu.org/ipv6-support-in-microsoft-azure/
I generally use Azure virtual servers, which support dual stack, with a public IP (which supports IPv6).

The thing where Tumblr and maybe Flickr are embracing ActivityPub is just so interesting to me
For years now the single biggest challenge in launching new social software has been bootstrapping new social graphs for your users
Around 2010 the answer was to use FB and Twitter APIs, but those have got more restricted over time and don't really feel like a safe bet to build on in 2022
Having smaller (but still huge!) networks embrace an open standard feels like a HUGE leap forward

World-building question: Do you have any food-themed holidays in your tabletop games?
In the game I'm running, the local temple bakes a huge cake to feed everyone in town. The players have been getting increasingly creative with it as the festival approaches.

So the Tumblr owner tweeted (how ironic) they would be adopting ActivityPub, but lets wait to see something actually happen. Articles pointed to "WordPress supports ActivityPub" , but it's actually a third party plugin by https://mastodon.social/@pfefferle (great plugin - I use it on my blog).

Every once in a while, I stumble across a quote that tells me that what we play today as a #ttrpg is nothing at all like #garygygax intended. And I'm ok with that:
> Number of Players: At least one
> referee and from four to fifty
> players can be handled in any
> single campaign, but the referee
> to player ratio should be about
> 1:20 or thereabouts.
