Natural language doesn’t count because your twitching eye isn’t jargon unless it verbalizes. (Quality misreadings an artform.)

I don’t think 12d8 is jargon. Its notation are expressions like 12’6” and 14t and 12:37 also jargon? That’s a serious question, by the way, since it’s never occurred to me that they could or should be considered as such. If we go to the instant replay Venn diagrams, is notation subsumed within...

I’m tempted to say “all of them”, but that’s a little overreacting. There are probably some not yet drained of all useful meaning. But broadly speaking, if you can find it in use on three different sites/services, it’s past that point. Very little useful discussion about gaming needs jargon, or...

Wow, a lot of items created to pander to my interests this week. Thanks!

If Coca-Cola were the size of rpg companies and suffered a hit like this, I might well donate to help. If Jones Soda Company did, ditto.

But this isn’t any kind of sales data. It’s DDB usage data, and in the US, this has been a time of great job stress for both political and non-political reasons: foolish use of LLMs, massive government employee and contractor layoffs, drastically increased instability, etc. it’s quite possible...

It’s a plausible-looking curve of DDB users. I don’t think the problem is with the curve, but with people who want it to have more precision than that. It’s a bit like looking at someone’s sketched map and being unhappy it’s not up to USGS standards. It can’t bear any of the specific loads...

I can’t be the only one who looked at it and just thought, hey, neat, thanks to @Morrus and his friend, that’s a nice tough look at overall site usage in that span of time.

Wow, translating Faulkner sounds like it’d be amazingly hard.

That’s a smart girl, and she knows it.

I just learned about this today. Burning Fortress, at itch.io, is about immortal samurai wandering post-apocalyptic ruins. Check this themed oracle.
