- I have a confession. I have a crippling addiction to purchasing TTRPG books that I know I will never be able to GM.
- I think its that I never got past the childhood obsession with picture books. And for that I’m not sorry!
- Luka Rejec was cooking with the fantastic Ultraviolet Grasslands #ttrpg. The caravan mechanics emphasize westward movement, while the XP system emphasizes new experiences. It seems like a fantastic way of engaging players by giving them a clear and common goal.
- If you are transcribing your #ttrpg sessions, you know it can be a lot of text! With the latest feature release of realmsofshod.com, quickly jump between sessions and scenes and search for keywords to find a conversation or all references to an NPC. 🧵👇 More details below
- Transcript Search: Search for keywords in your transcript across all of your sessions. Select a search result to be transported directly to that part of the story. Recall specific scenes, characters, and conversations without scrolling back through every session transcript.
- Session & Scene Navigation: When preparing for a session or reviewing a particular scene, jump right to where you need to go with the new session/scene selectors.
- I read and loved Dan Simmons's Hyperion well over a decade ago. I decided to give it another read recently, and.. Oh boy, has it delivered—the Ouster invasion of Hyperion as a backdrop to the final pilgrimage as the characters tell their stories. Father Hoyt and Sol Weintraub's are my favorites.

- Only slowly, over time, and as needed. Many are too dense to retain information through a long read-through. Unless I want to take notes, which I don't.
- Let's talk Ultraviolet Grasslands. Who has played it in a group setting? Are the caravan mechanics fun? #ttrpg
- Turso migrated from Fly infra to AWS. I received an email about this with assurances that the existing db URL will still be valid and simply redirect to AWS. On Friday night production and all staging envs went down. Low and behold, it was the db connection.

- Hey, appreciate it! I'm using DrizzleORM, so schema migration should be straightforward. How do you recommend transferring a SQL dump into a MySQL-compatible format?
