in Tabletop Gaming's Biggest Problem April 2017

People in society have the responsibility to not endanger or victimize others (ie, they are responsible for their own actions). They are not responsible for the safety of others. Good people will go beyond their base level of responsibility to help,…

I don't participate in social media, so I have no frame of reference for whatever the not all men thing is. I assume by your context that it was an argument where men said, we present in this discussion didn't do anything, we don't want to be basele…

in Tabletop Gaming's Biggest Problem April 2017

Hello bloodied, welcome to the discussion. I'm sort of lost on why people expressing the fact that they are offended by that article lumping them in with the bad guys unjustly makes you skittish. I guess not wanting to be branded as an asshole for …

in Tabletop Gaming's Biggest Problem April 2017

I think you're sort of missing my entire overall point here. Is there a problem with people victimizing others? Sure, BUT it's not something that is specific or unique to the realm of gaming, or specific/unique to any one group of people. Also, it's…

Saying that this article does more harm than good and continues the cycle that it theoretically seeks to end is not victim blaming. Nor is expecting people to take their own safety into account when out and about in the world as it exists today. An…

@Jim_Mount, I'm sorry man but I have to call this as it is. When the author writes an article about the "white male terrorism" problem against women, minorities and LGBT persons, she's making a broad attack on straight white males, period (it's almo…

in New Traveller DST awaiting approval April 2017

It might not be listed anywhere, but yeah, message ChainsawXIV rather than support for DST approval. If he's not responding (which I have found he can sometimes be quite busy and take a bit to respond), that's certainly a problematic issue.

in I accidentally made a player the GM. How do I get it back? April 2017

I suppose you could try opening a ticket with support, see if they can undo the swap or whatnot. Outside of that, you're relying on the player to give it back.

I'm seeing April for current CotM, which is correct. Are you seeing March for it? That said, the interview is forthcoming, we had some delays due to translation(s) and now scheduling apparently. As soon as it's in my hands, I'll have it up.

No offense, but I really hate articles like that. They are such bullshit. As a straight white male, it's "nice" to know that no matter what the problem is, you're to blame. You're a part of the systemic shadowy oppression network designed to keep wo…

in Personal DSTs? April 2017

@Denton, regrettably (at least for your purposes), OP's DST setup is geared for the general-purpose area that you're trying to avoid. The current options for workarounds are less than optimal, but given the existing setup, I think you're sort of stu…

Hi forums, We're going to go ahead and "break tradition" a little bit here and announce April's CotM winner before the interview has been posted to the blog. The turnaround time on translations and such is taking a bit longer than expected, and we d…

No, CotY has not been abandoned. I know it's been an insanely long waiting game, and I'm sorry for that. We're more or less set to go at this point, I'll get it situated alongside of April CotM or shortly thereafter, so in the very near future. Than…

in Please Help Convince OP That KillerVP is Not Crazy March 2017

@Alan/OPSupport, sorry, I should have been more clear on that. The post issue with the styling for the blog is fixed. I meant I wanted to set up a meeting (or meetings if needed) and get started on another site and technical updates post for the blo…

in Please Help Convince OP That KillerVP is Not Crazy March 2017

Although I was not personally witness to the specific chaotic day that ketherian describes, where posts were deleted, recreated and such, I can say with the utmost confidence that it did transpire, based on conversations with people that witnessed i…

in Don't want image to Inherit CSS March 2017

If you give the image a class, you should be able to target it specifically via CSS and supercede the "standard" image styles you set up.

in Nominate COTM Here! March 2017 edited March 2017

Argh, this issue again. I'm not sure of the exact reasoning why it happens sometimes, but it's certainly annoying. I think it has something to do with caching that is somehow linked to the SSL changes that were made back when. If you change the pro…

@jasonvey, this particular styling/formatting error has been cropping up here and there over the last several months. It's one of the things Hudak was starting to look into before his departure. I'm not sure where the culprit lies, but I'll get wit…

Good news everybody! The interview for March's Campaign of the Month is now live on the blog. So have a read and then give your congratulatory back slap to jasonvey and the players of Nocturnum: Rebirth.

The committee is absolutely intent on pushing forward with CotY. I'll see if we can't have an official statement on it up in the next day or so. I know people have been waiting patiently (thank you for that), and are ready to get the show on the roa…

I'm with DerkG on this one, great to see new people on the site and venturing onto the forums.

Greetings forum-folks. After a little bit of a delay (again, sorry on that), the interview for February's Campaign of the Month is now live on the blog. So let me be the first to offer up a very big congratulations to Nut_Meg and all of the players…

Just wanted to post a quick update on this for you Abersade. I checked into the issue, and it turns out that since I am editor, but not admin for the blog, I don't have the required access to update the entire URL of a post, only part of it. I can u…

Hi all, just a quick update on this. CoTM for February 2017 will be up sometime in the midmorning today (Friday 10th). I would've had it up last night (which was my original intention), but I had to finish up a paper for one of my classes, which ran…

in OP Blog February 2017

If I had to venture a guess, I'd say it might be as a result of the work the devs were doing back when to fix the various SSL issues that people were having. If you change the protocol from http:// to https:// the page appears normally. I'll see abo…

Yes, the plan is a community vote for CotY. We're merely trying to ensure that we have the means to track/tally votes to avoid the issue of years past where there were accusations of multiple votes and other irregularities.

For sure! If you've got an article in mind, by all means hammer it out. I need to light the proverbial fire under my own ass with respects to article writing, but contributions from others are always welcome.

in OP Blog February 2017

For the record, yes - I am indeed still the editor of the blog. As such, I have to assume responsibility for the less-than-totally-active state of things. It wasn't my intention to let article-writing slide, but it has regrettably happened anyway. I…

in Slugs.... How do they work? January 2017 edited January 2017

Slugs are used to make links to characters or items on your wiki pages. So if you had a character named John Smith, his slug would be john-smith (by default, you can change these). Then to link to him on a wiki page you would use [[:john-smith]], or…
