Paid $100 for a tiny Lenovo ThinkCentre M910q to install Batocera on for gaming / Plex TV box

Works even better than I thought it would tbh. Emulates up to Switch & PS3, everything else upres'ed to 1080p. Steam games natively supported. Plex @ 4k no prob. Only took like an hour to set up. Very cool

I'm still working on a DIY "console" for SBCs tho (plan on giving them to my bro's kids and friends for xmas) bc I have a couple of Pis and Odroids I'm not using

For the case: a box w/ modular keystone jacks for IO and inside space for SBC, battery, drives, PSU

Thinking top and bottom wood?

Got a basic viz going for this. Over a 2 year D&D campaign, 50 sessions this is how characters were distributed

You can see "Tier 1" was a complete arc, after that we picked up a few new players to continue on all the while having a spattering of guest stars along the way. #D&D #D3js #dataviz #RPG

Me and my homunculus Claude are cookin up another D3js #dataviz for my last campaign
Script output of my D&D session summary notes from my wiki. The script processes each game summary and creates timeline data of the character's attendance across sessions. The screenshot shows the summary "found 49 sessions, 25 unique players" and a list of each character the number of RPG sessions they were at

@stream.place I'm getting this warning about bframes, but I have bframes=0 in my OBS config.

I'm doing OBS recording to custom ffmpeg SRT -> Restreamer (RTMP pass thru) -> Streamplace

Any tips?

Got livestreaming integrated directly into our @ghost.org website. Pretty cool

Got stoned and invented furniture and books #evennia #mud #gamedev
MUD testing with the Evennia engine. I created furniture containers (gun rack, shelf) for storing items. Also a typeclass for books, one of which is shown here with an insightful quote from an item called Uncle Ted's Manifesto.

After sorting through everything, here are the 2600 games I'm gonna keep!

An assortment of Atari 2600 games stacked in their boxes. I found these on the sidewalk

So I went for a bike ride and found a large box someone dumped with an Atari 2600, a bunch of games, and for some reason 40 copies of Super Breakout for Atari 5200. All have KB Toys stickers on them.

I guess I need to get some controllers? Any advice from #retrogaming or #atari2600 peeps?

Lore wiki visualization progress!

In our D&D lore wiki, every link creates a relationship in the database. What if we could visualize that network across 6+ years of session summaries and worldbuilding notes?

WIP but the basic idea works & is automated. Now just needs a lot of tweaking of styling/responsiveness. #rpg #d3js #wiki
A network map created in D3.js of all the links between documents in our Dungeons & Dragons lore wiki. Every node is a session summary, NPC, monster, etc and their size varies based on the amount of links.

Back on my vibecoding bullshit - making a page to share NPCs from my game. Was thinking I could package them up as #FoundryVTT actors + PDFs so other DMs can quickly grab one.

Obviously have to add a rolling function too
Work in progress website page where you can "Roll a NPC" from my D&D 5e game and then download a little zip file that contains complete assets for that character - PDFs for print, FoundryVTT actor files, and the generated portraits and tokens to upload to other platforms like Roll20.

DONE! Interactive fantasy map with markers and styling inherited from the Ghost theme using Leaflet.js and a vector map! And it respects Ghost's access controls (members, subscribers, etc.) as well.

Here's a test map:

Awww yeah I am fucking cookin #leafletjs #mapsmapsmaps #ghost
Leaflet.js overlays successfully showing up on my map, which is being processed from a code block in the Ghost post content (PS your mom is fat) Ghost admin showing a post called "MAP TEST". The featured post image is used as the leaflet.js map source, then the code block in the post content is interpreted for map overlays, pins, etc.

I'm quite happy with how this turned out! I got the timeline to pull it's styling from the @ghost.org theme and it looks really good. Now to make a timeline for my players...

Working on hacking TimelineJS into a @ghost.org custom template. Timeline info is pulled dynamically from a Google Sheet for easy editing. Got it working, just need to do a bunch of style tweaking to make it look nice

Boomerang Cat
5e.dungeon.church/bestiary.htm...
#5e #5etools #dnd #d&d #homebrew #statblock
Boomerang Cat stat block: same as a regular cat, but with: eturning. A returning weapon allows you to hurl the weapon in such a way that it returns to you. When you attack with a returning weapon, if you roll an even number on the d20, the weapon returns to you by the end of your turn. You can catch the weapon if you have a hand free to do so. If not, the weapon lands at a random point within 5 feet of you. If you roll an odd number on the d20 for the attack roll, the weapon fails to return to you.
