Yeah, i figured it was probably under priced with our current host, but im not looking to balloon costs 4-5x or something when switching to a new host, hopefully. I'd like fully managed if possible, but yeah, another thought was including people who could look at things in my stead, though I don't really have a list of people i'm aware of who i could recruit.

thanks! i'll have to look these over!

 

Hello! I'm an admin on ttrpg.network. Recently, our hosting provider let us know that they are going out of business. I'm trying to find a new provider to migrate to.

A little bit of information, i would like:

  1. Not to self host - I travel a lot for work, and i can't guarantee that my home internet/server is always available.

  2. Prefer a managed service if possible - Again, due to the above, if something goes wrong while i'm out of town, I might not have time to troubleshoot issues for a week or more.

My current service is a managed service, so I can open tickets if something goes wrong and have their support team look in to it. Googling, the only other service i can find that has managed services is elest.io, which mostly just looks like a wrapper for services like AWS and others, and the server configurations look like they might get pretty pricey to get anything near comparable.

Currently, our instance uses around ~1 TB of data after backup and everything is included, and we have a 4TB quota at our current host, 8 GB of ram, and I'm not entirely sure of the CPU or anything. All for around ~$25 USD/month.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Quite possible. I'm not an expert and working from memory, so I could very well get something wrong

Yes, actually. They're both different mixes of plutonium isotopes. Iirc reactor grade plutonium is far more stable than weapons grade (because blowing up is less desirable for reactors than bombs), and has some different properties when used.

They also recently did a reprint of the first ~5 or so books in paperback. One of the neat things they did with the reprints is they've included dice rolls at the bottom of every page, so instead of needing to use dice, you can flip to a random page instead and use that as your roll.

The plane also says "King trump" on the side of it

I mean, that was essentially the point of the spell plague. It was just a cataclysm to explain why mechanics were so different due to 4e. It's basically like in comics when they want to reboot they do a big cataclysm to justify resetting

i think @sirblastalot@ttrpg.network is the only /c/rpg mod really active, so tagging him for any input on the community view...

I use this site to turn things into tokens - https://rolladvantage.com/tokenstamp/

It takes whatever image you plop into it, so at that point you can turn anything you want into a token. As far as what to make the images with, I'm not entirely sure, since the ask is kinda vague. What are you looking for in the tokens?

Fyi, the author @slyflourish@ttrpg.network is known to hang out around here from time to time. He's also on mastodon as @slyflourish@chirp.enworld.org

As a DM, thinking on your toes has been invaluable. The ability to come up with ideas, explanations, and more on the fly has helped a lot at work in meetings when unexpected things come up.

Ice/crystal golems. Crystal structures are very regular/organized and I would argue quite lawful.

 

Title says it. Roll for combat/battlezoo's distributor 'Diamond' has filed for bankruptcy and is keeping their (and other company's) stock to sell in a liquidation sale to keep the proceeds and pay off their debt.

Mentioned in the video, diamond is a distributor for other TTRPG companies as well, such as paizo, goodman games, and others.

I don't think they're the sole distributor for all of them, so i think the amount of damage it's doing is highly specific to each company, but it's still pretty shitty for companies in this industry in particular because of how hard it is to turn profits already in a niche industry.

 
 
 
 
 

just came across this comic book article about daggerheart at gen con. I find it interesting that daggerheart is moving away from d20s.

 

RPGmemes becomes the first community on TTRPG.network to hit 5k subscribers! That's a pretty amazing milestone! Thanks everyone who either jumped ship from reddit or joined from the lemmyverse!

 

Anyone else get in on this KS? I'm looking forward to digging into the PDF and figuring this game out.
