@Shienvien Agreed. I'll be keeping the existing editor around for probably ever. It works and it's simple enough to be the fallback for more experimental attempts (i.e. WYSIWYG).

It's a shame that the editor I linked you doesn't work on your mobile. I don't think this war can be won.

On another note, the selection for sorting what folder your PMs should go on is white. Could you perhaps style it not white?

Ok. In the next deploy, the background will be darkened a bit.

Hacked together a dice system: roleplayerguild.com/campaigns

Like every Guild feature, it's kinda crappy, rudimentary, and needs all sorts of things/polish, but maybe it's a good enough start to be useful to someone?

I ran out of space in the top navbar (on smaller screens) so I added a link to the dice system at the top of the homepage sidebar.

TODO off the top of my head:

- Allow campaign deletion
- Show "My Campaigns"
- List a user's campaigns from their profile
- Allow quick campaign creation and quick rolling while you're writing a post instead of having to navigate to a new page
- Allow GMs to link campaigns to a roleplay
- Support some additional roll syntax like exploding dice.
- Add [ roll=42] BBCode to inline specific rolls.
- Allow campaign creator to add other users to the campaign so that they can roll too.
- If a campaign is linked to a roleplay, then the coGMs should be able to roll as well as the GM.

Intersting bits:

- Composite rolls like 1d6+8-5d9+2d2-1d1 are broken down so that you can see the result of the individual rolls. Example: roleplayerguild.com/rolls/4

I personally may not use this feature, but I'm sure for all of the people who are exclusively tabletop rpers, this is very useful, so good add, oh Great Leader.

Additional suggestion to add:

-Allowing others, either by whitelist, RP List, or blacklist to use your dice roller; so that each person doesn't need their own; and have each roll show who rolled it.

Looking into some request timeouts right now.

As usual, only click the submit button once and save your post before you do. And if you land on an error page, clicking the back button will usually load the previous page with your post still intact in the "New Post" textbox.

How soon will the Guild be up and running, after you take it off for some downtime?

I'm not sure. I'd say maybe 30 minutes if there are no issues. It's not a very difficult process to upgrade the database, I just always prepare for the worst.

Not sure when I'll do it. First I'm trying to hunt down the Guild's request-timeout issue.

I might have fixed it.

I had a catastrophic bug in the Guild's core query-database function.

The fix:



Hopefully it's the cause of the request timeouts, so I'll be watching the metrics to see if things improve.

Added a quick but long-requested feature back to user profiles that we used to have on oldguild:



It won't show up in your profile til someone views your profile since everyone starts with 0 viewers.

Very nice. Stalkers be warned (I see you)

Q: what about hidden users?

Update: You can now opt-in to displaying your gender.

You can find the form by clicking this link: roleplayerguild.com/me/edit#gender

The gender will show up next to your username on your profile. Maybe it should show up in other places? Maybe I should add more options than male/female?

@NuttsnBolts Hidden users appear in the latest-10-visitors list.

Non-binary and gender fluid would probably be appreciated.

I am appalled that there is no "Attack Helicopter" option.
