Thread ideas: - a thread for tabletop games oath posting for content creators, GMs, and so on (since a lotta people were making resolution posts about wanting to run more games this year) - a thread to talk about designing a bunch of wizard schools to use for setting mining - tg jokes thread - maps thread (battle maps, world maps, star maps, whatever) - resources and software reviews thread - vtt thread (on how to make vtt better / worse, funky API tools, and so on) - debate team thread series: limited run threads which are about debating one specific tradgames topic like “I think experience points are good/bad!” and people can sign up for forming up interesting arguments and counterpoints without getting so worked up people get probated - a “quick question, quick answer” thread

I should say that if you are interested in a highlight from a specific megathread or similar please do the audience a solid and also provide a link to a post or page that might be good. Any threads that get archived for whatever reason during the lifecycle of maintenance in this thread shall be marked as such if needed.

New thread idea: - Art doodle thread. We have had a couple of art threads pop up with some fantastic work but maybe I wanna just post kind of a low effort goblin or mimic that is pooping out coins or something and a thread for that might be cool?

Since there is a thread for thread ideas (this one), I'm also considering a thread for mostly system agnostic ideas sparring. There can be stuff in there for system specific stuff as well, but I am picturing things that could be interpreted and sparred out in different ways for different systems. The relative value of the ideas need not be particularly high either, mostly a thread to serve as an outlet for the 3:15am idea for orcs that ride player characters or waffles that give strength powerups.

An idea for a thread came up in the Chat thread: - A thread for music, sounds, and a library for those things. People are looking for cool inspirational war drums for their epic throw down on the Fields of Pelennor or whatever or just anything but the Lord of the Rings soundtrack on endless loop. I will maybe work on making one, or maybe someone else can make one? SOUNDS good to me

The Baumann posted:Would there be any interest in a thread focused on 3d printing for tabletop games? I know there's a general thread for 3d printing in diy but this would be something more specialized to game related stuff. I for one would absolutely love this because I would like to know what to budget for when printing out 3d tiny things when I move (just don't have the space right now).

I would just like to know the basics and how to extend via the free non-pirated stuff or IP theft stuff. Like, if I wanted to print some parts to help with building terrain or sorting dice or pushing minis around on a table and other neat implementations like that, what all goes into doing the slices, post-print finishing process, and tips from someone who has already kinda gone through the headache. I would also assume that as long as that is kept in mind and if there is anything squicky there will be helping hands to guide in the right direction.

hyphz posted:I presume there wasn't interest in TTS, either. I'm not sure where you got the idea but if you're interested in creating a thread specifically for Tabletop Simulator, I would say go for it. I'm currently in the middle of a situation where there is a constant threat of days-long power outages and we have no water or heat with freezing or below-freezing temperatures, so I'm a bit preoccupied at the moment, myself...

So, I’m thinking about making a thread. Most of my threads in recent years have mostly just been blog posts and this one probably would end up being the same, but I’ll go post it later anyway. Probably.

So, I have feelings on this. Making value judgements based on a picture of a person is all fun and games until someone starts implying or explicitly saying things like "that person has <trait x y z> which means they have a high/low <fill in physical or mental stat here>". Also, disclaimer: not a mod, but "statting by Race" itself is almost assuredly a huge yikes. A gentle reminder that having physical and mental attributes associated to race is a very highly sensitive topic in the real world. We used to have a "post cool/funny/bad RPG art in this thread" thread, so starting a new iteration of that might be more what you're looking for. Perhaps if someone draws creative inspiration from said art, they can also contribute a piece of writing - a clever description, poetry, a story they see from a given picture or series of pictures. "Caption this picture" is a solid forum game.
