That reminds me, I need to read Night Witches, so I can run that at some point soon

also I've heard lots of D&D DMs say something like "oh, but you can customise the rules and the DM can make it as story-telling as they want"

And.... that's not really true. If I invited you to D&D, and you came over and found out we were playing a diceless game where the story was based around budding romance in a countryside post office, you would be very confused and feel lied to.

That's a story you could tell! But it's not one you could tell with D&D.

@Wayril@octodon.social do you run any other games?

@Troasta I like Fate too, although it's harder to do right than I would like...

@Terrana @lucidiot@tiny.tilde.website I'm glad you worked that out!

@popefucker@cybre.space setting the IP address changed nothing (and yeah, they're both on the same wifi network)

@popefucker@cybre.space where do I set the static IP, though... do I set it for my phone on my computer, or for my computer on my phone?

@popefucker@cybre.space I didn't know syncthing used LAN, it's never done that for me before

@Fenreliania oh jeez

I get super frustrated with people who think that D&D is some kind of grand story-telling game, and that all RPGs are like D&D.

Because it's not a storytelling game. It's a combat simulator, with some light storytelling elements.

...I wonder how many people have been pushed away from storytelling games by their first experience with them being a crunchy combat game...

a problem I always have with syncthing is that at some point during set up both of the devices that I'm trying to sync will say the other one is disconnected, and I have no idea how to make them connect again

@popefucker@cybre.space I didn't realise that was available for phone, thanks for letting me know!
