Got my email Great, I didn't :!: Registrations are admin-activated, but the default setting is not to send an e-mail to said admin, only use the forum's notifications. I don't think we need more than one category and forum, right? BTW while I set up the forum I'll be around on freenode and OFTC IRC.

Seems Vol. 1 might make up for a good re-reading at this point. Is that a note-to-self or a suggestion to me? More of a general suggestion. I decided I wasn't sure anymore of Torgos' class, so I went back to recheck, also taking the opportunity to see if there was anything to inspire me and the oth...

Also, I've started updating the chirpingmustard homepage; go check it out and tell me what you think!
We also seem to have regularly-scheduled backups now.

Since I'm now showing the png instead of the jpg for FindTheOTTer, I'm a little concerned I may have made the page slow to load. Could one or two of you go to NP2256 and tell me if it has become too sluggish? Eh, if you have mercy for MTAs… The original file is 12MB. You'll find a smaller file in y...

Guys, I think I've lost the distinction between writing a character's background and writing a novel :| And I do agree that perhaps these discussions would be best shifted to another subforum / location, but I'm unsure how that will work with the potential for interference / trolling by Outsiders. W...

I've created a problem with my acronym. I kinda knew it a while back, but I've been ignoring it. There are two different things that are being referred to by Time Until Next Ong: 1. how much time passes between one ong and the next, and 2. how much time passes between the present and the next ong. ...

5e can be learned purely with pdf's that WotC (the current owners of the D&D IP) has made available for free. I'll find a link when I get home. These? I'm kind of second-guessing the layout of chirpingmustard dot com , as it's currently a menu with a web page attached. I was thinking of moving ...

Have a look at Roll20 . It's an online virtual tabletop with integrated chat. I've had a poke around, and it looks pretty treeish, once properly set up. From the outside, it does look quite interesting. Do you want the talks and the to rolls be in the same place? Looks like the perfect platform for...

An approximation from 1.mirror's: 224 MiB in text + 15 MiB in avatars + 1.3 GiB in attachments = 1.5 GiB.

A few(?) NPs back there were some really, really messed up fonts happening. Superimposed, messy, glitchy-looking; that's exactly what I'm after. Does anyone have any pointers on how that was done?

Okay, seems someone threw a laser at the holistic entanglement field today… This article hit me earlier today: What if Time Really Exists? ?

Hello. It's been a while. There was a lot I wanted to reply to, but I didn't. And I don't remember most of it anymore. “I know I shouldn't trust my memory, but sometimes I forget.” There has been talk about why some don't post anymore. For me it was inertia, and a lack of critical mass. There was mu...

I've been doing some OTTeraeology lately. Quite interesting stuff.
Say, when was the Great &replacement;?

Also, Gingercat lost a sigcouragement, taixzo added Sandgarden to xyr signature, BFTF ended & the OTTerconchën became addams.

Hello macraw83! And thank you (again)! I'll unfollow the decree and say: JavaScript & relatives no longer bring me joy. Also, stories start to rot if they stay in my head for too long. Eww.
