2026 will be the year I get back to invest more time in ttrpgs, specifically developing a D&D campaign that I've been pondering for some time now. I find small-scale world-building and adventure design very rewarding. I'll also be trying out a new set of supporting tools, specifically the 2024 ruleset, D&D Beyond as the VTT, and Obsidian for notes. I'll also be trying out a few AI tools to replace some of the random tables and generators I've used in the past. #DnD

I was thinking of giving Tot a try, but since it relies on iCloud sync I"m wondering if I'll be stuck with the same problem. The upside is that multi-device sync is a key feature for the app, so they are more like to make sure it works, no?

Anyone care to share their Tot experiences?

"Sorry, Excel cannot open two files with the same filename, even though the paths are different" 🤔

This seems like a defect MS should have fixed a long time ago.

A-ha's unplugged rendering of Take on Me (2017) is a poignant look back over a life. A wonderful performance.

Canada’s federal and provincial governments really need to get their act together on supporting these kinds of initiatives here. A tremendous opportunity for our country! #academia https://infosec.exchange/@rene_mobile/114329669991578093

@evan Looking at the weather forecast I would say a few more weeks at least!

Skaters on the Rideau Canal this afternoon. I'm not a skater, but it has been great to see so many people out enjoying what has been a solid season of skating on the canal this winter! I also managed to capture to crew of tractors cleaning the ice. #ottawa #winter

How can I follow a hashtag but not have it show up in my home feed? I was hoping to be able to add hashtags to a list, but that doesn't seem possible. (Using Ivory as my client, if that matters) #mastodon #lazyweb

@evan I feel that way every time I look up into the night sky, every time I focus my attention on the natural world. I personally don’t need to share in a media spectacle to feel connected to others and the existence we share.

@Gargron is there more information on this posted somewhere?
