As promised, my elevator pitch: http://shayne.powerlot.net/2021/09/not-your-grandfathers-megaduneon.html
@mgrondin That's my problem and why I think PBP is a potential solution. I'm thinking posts most days (ideally daily, but this is the real world) but no more than 5-10 minutes worth of work every day.
@uxintro Im interested depending on the platform. Ive been trying to get a PBM or PBeM going for ages.
@uxintro
Also possibly interested, though I'm not on discord and don't care to be.
Would be happy to know what kind of setting you were thinking about.
@uxintro One good #FreeSoftware solution for group voice discussion, is Big Blue Button https://bigbluebutton.org/
Designed for school classes, so ideal for self-hosting. Easily applicable for a roleplaying game session.
@uxintro they're different web-based chat clients for XMPP services. You can log into pretty much any XMPP account with the Movim instance I think, I don't think it's locked down.
See also https://talk.chinwag.im for what I think the future primary one looks like.
@mike Nice. I think with those choices of interface I can live without Discord.
@uxintro I'm down for helping with anything that prevents the use of Discord.
@mgrondin I'm more than happy to hand-hold as much as necessary. The system I'm using (Risus) is really about describing things more that quantifying them which (I think) makes it a lot easier. Imagine a character (or a blend of characters) from a fantasy (or potentially SF) book or movie or TV show that you'd like to create and we can take it from there.
@mgrondin No time pressure at this stage.
@Capheind When you do, we've started some session-0 type chat xmpp:pbp-general@rooms.chinwag.im?join
@uxintro Ok. Im fiddling around with servers.
@uxintro I'm in.
I just read over the Risus core rules, so I'm obviously new to this system. (Prior experience in 2nd ed. D&D and V:tM.) I may have questions about how you want to handle the rules system as we go along, just so I know what's possible/feasible.
Do you care about what settings/environments we draw from, or a particular place our characters should start at (other than "in the dungeon")?
Are https://chat.chinwag.im/?chat and https://rooms.chinwag.im/ basically two different windows to the same back-end?
