Tav update: she said yes!

Hey folks I am opening emergency commissions. My partners ebike was just stolen and they use it for work daily. I'll draw anything (Not hateful). My strengths are monsters, mice & maps. More examples below. Varied price points available. Please comment / message if you're interested.

Windows PowerToys is cool and all, but ye gods, Microsoft, what the fuck is this doing in your documentation? To add context: this was after they mentioned three perfectly fine ways of installing PowerToys and before mentioning three more after whatever the fuck this was.

In recognition of International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, I'd love to spend some time tomorrow learning about & sharing the work of indigenous people in the TTRPG space. 😍 Please introduce yourself below if this is you! Lets get more eyes on your work wherever you are in the world 🌐

Patient, sobbing: But Doctor, I AM Pagliacci! ChatGPT: Apologies. I didn't realise when recommending Pagliacci's epic show to cure your depression that you were the genius himself. I'm impressed! With regards to your initial question, I can recommend seeing the Great Clown Pagliacci.

To add to this: if at all possible when backing up, follow the 3-2-1 rule. For important data you want: - At least THREE copies - On at least TWO different types of media - At least ONE of which is off-site This can get expensive fast, especially with off-site storage, so triage what is important.

Hello, BlueSky! 📖🪡 We are StoryWeave Productions, a brand new TTRPG AP channel founded by Jien, Kat, and Wren. We’re thrilled to officially launch and will have some exciting announcements to share soon, so give us a follow and stay tuned for more!

Also, a best practice of my own: Casting necessitates the collection of private info: emails, names, sometimes even stuff like information on someone's race, religion, medical status, or sexuality, if you ask people to self-identify to aid in casting diverse tables. Have a dang process, y'all.

If you're casting for #actualplay, there's a bunch of solid best practices in this thread for your casting forms. Something that stood out to me particularly: "if you must have a multipage form, provide a single-page alternative". I never realized this was an accessibility issue, good to know.

Seeing as I'm going to be casting for AP stuff Soon™, a question for the #actualplay performers out here: What would you like to see more in casting calls? Similarly: What kind of things should AP's stop doing in casting forms? This post is brought to you by Tav-reworking-his-casting-forms.

The last few weeks I've had a bunch of lovely chats with folks asking me how I set up the Casting Feed so they can set up feeds for projects of their own. I love doing that, so if you ever see something I made you think is cool and you want to steal it for your projects, my inbox is always open.

For those who use screen readers and the like, what format is best for tables in a document? Is it better to write them out as paragraphs formatted to look like tables or is it better to have it formatted as a table or is smth else better? I wanna make sure my plain text docs are really accessible

Wow, @drivethrurpg.com, excellent choice defending the most oppressed group of all... *checks notes* Space Nazis. Excellent choice, truly well done, no notes. Actually, now that I think about it, I might have some notes, among which: What the actual fuck is wrong with you?

It's been a while since I talked about this last, but for the new folk who are interested in casting/being cast in TTRPG streams. Did you know I made a TTRPG casting feed that captures all casting calls (some hashtags required) on Bluesky?

For ✨reasons✨ definitely not related to my earlier post. I’m looking for queer AF TTRPGs that lend themselves well to being oneshot. Give me your suggestions, shameless self promo not just allowed, but whole heartedly encouraged. It’s rpg-a-thon o’ clock, folks.

What the actual fuck is wrong with these shitheels. Fuck it. I’m angry enough that I don’t care my study isn’t ready for streaming yet. We’re doing a charity about this.

Try and stop me from blabbing my trade “secrets”, I dare you. Sharing the cool ways I’ve made stuff work is probably the most fun thing about being a creator. I don’t understand folks who are insecure enough to gatekeep. If you ever see something cool I do and want to know “how?!”, please ask!

Me all Expo: “aight, so I’m still renovating my study and it’s a mess so I probably won’t be streaming until EOY” Me after Expo returning with too many ideas: “but what if… greenscreen?” Someone talk me out of this.

Pride month chain! Pride month chain! ❤️💜💙 me + my flag 💙💜❤️

I have acquired macro spacers for my camera for a project. On an unrelated note, this has greatly improved the cat pictures I can take.

United we stand, divided we fall.

I have once again fallen victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" or perhaps "never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line" - but mine was this: "Never underestimate how much cookies will expand when baked."

I don't currently have anything to promo because I've been spending my days renovating a house instead of TTRPG stuff lately, but I did make two feeds for Bluesky that are probably relevant to your interests if you follow me. Shameless selfpromo ahead:

Quick update on the TTRPG Casting Feed, due to a limitation (either with the bsky api or skyfeed), the casting feed currently only grabs casting posts from the last /4/ days. If your posts have fallen off the casting feed, it's best to post them again with the same tags. #casting #ttrpg

Testing a thing, don't mind me. #casting #ttrpg !nofeed

Awakening from my hiatus to amplify this. Devices like this create a harmful false sense of security. This device will not "detoxify" resin fumes. At best, you've bought an overpriced HEPA filter. At worst, you open yourself up to chronic lung problems. Please just wear a respirator.

Airport time! Birmingham soon! Who else is heading over to UKGE? Always love to meet up with folks!

A project two months in the making, cold casting a bronze d20. This chonker was made special for a dice-making challenge by coating the inside of the mold with bronze powder before being cast with black resin. If you want to it for yourself the STL is available for PWYW on my Ko-Fi

Having a 3d printer means I get to say “fuck it, let’s prototype some new dice”. I’m having a lot of fun with SAGAS, so having my own dedicated SAGAS set seems like a nice thing to have. [start of obligatory sponsor plug] Check SAGAS out over at affiliate.tav.yt/sagas

My goal for 2024 is to never hoard any streaming innovations, anything I get to work on my stream is fair game. So here’s an open invitation: if you see something cool on my streams and are like: “I want to do that!” - Give me a shout. My DMs are always open.

Tav is no longer panicking, everything is going according to planickin'. Come and watch our sponsored SAGAS Actual Play, where we go INTO THE SAGASVERSE! #ttrpg #actualplay

The SAGAS Kickstarter is almost happening, so to celebrate, why not tune in to the first episode of Into the SAGASverse (a sponsored SAGAS AP)? It's going to be an absolutely wild one, be there or be d6 shaped. #ttrpg #actualplay #sponsored

Bluesky still doesn't support videos, so I guess I'm inflicting Twitter on y'all. Seriously though: check out the video in the post. This is going to be an amazing (and very easy) production quality upgrade for a lot of TTRPG streams.

I'm very pleased to introduce you all to this wonderful cast for a sponsored stream for the SAGAS Kickstarter by @okayestdm.bsky.social Join Adam Sowards, @thegirlwonder.bsky.social. @in-the-pan.bsky.social, and @chiragasnani.bsky.social every Sunday as they travel Into The SAGASverse! #ttrpg

I hate doing this, but the cold I’ve been dealing with flared back up after yesterday’s session. I don’t think I can do a full weekend of talking without aggravating it or even losing my voice. Because of this, I've decided to postpone the RPG-a-thon until early '24.

The show is about to start. Join us in an hour(ish) for your first Qualifiers at the Creator Charity Deathmatch! Consider donating to our fundraiser for Child's Play here: donate.tiltify.com/b2fdc195-4ff...

The Christmas Deathmatch is almost upon us! Competitors to be announced soon. If you wanted to be involved but you couldn't make it to the show, could I interest you in a spot as a cameo NPC? DISCLAIMER: Cameos may be paintballed relentlessly. #ttrpg
