at least once when she rolled with disadvantage:
die #1: 20.
die #2: 1.

even worse for her luck? As a fighter, she's got improved critical, so she should get critical hits on 19 and 20.

In the campaign that character is in, we're not DM, so it is not our decision.

We do hope the DM lets her get transformed at least mostly back to human, though.
one of our fellow players in an evil campaign has had really terrible luck with her dice...

the only times she's rolled 20 on any die is on disadvantage (where it is negated) or when it is not a good thing to roll a 20, like a constitution save vs. drinking large amounts of feywild magical alcohol.

Greetings.

Now you've met ones who do like them. and use them.
That's what the Zeroth posts are for, @SmileyJaws.

GMs and CoGMs can edit those.
Our impression of it, is that it is trying (and failing) to bite off too much at once. That it would be better to start up a single persistent world in a single setting and RP type, be it sci-fi, fantasy or whatever, rather than trying to establish a persistent world for all settings at once.

that opinion was in part formed before it even got started, but unfortunately it hasn't been disproven.

Rather than having "fantasy planet" "superhero planet" "sci-fi planet" "tentacle love planet" and so on, we'd suggest going for just one of those, let that grow up properly before even considering to add anything else.

Which setting to start it with should be decided by the community to a certain degree.

Even with such, there's a major consideration to make... Should it be in a setting with vast amounts of pre-established lore (like Star Wars or Lord of the Rings) or should it be original?

The former comes with baggage of varying lore quality, but the latter comes with the cost of having to define everything.

You need to put in a lot of work for any level of persistent worlds, and you need to let it decompose a bit in the making before you refurbish it to make it work. We certainly needed that for our star wars RP (it's on its third iteration, with more lore for each successive iteration.). And that RP doesn't even count as truly being a persistent world.
We believe the GM tag is tied to the 1st post, so it might be tougher to implement than more Co-GMs.

Considering that there's only one real difference between GM and Co-GM at this point (appointing/removing Co-GMs), its not really a major distinction.
a "better" solution would be to empower moderators to be able to change the author on first post, for circumstances like when the GM wants to quit but the rest of the players (and Co-GMs) want to continue.

Also, upping the roof on Co-GM count would be helpful and require less work.
This is an evil campaign and the NPC granting our party quests and such is a night hag. The 'horse' in question is a nightmare.
[_E PC] "Curious horse you have."
[Night Hag] "I call it my little Nightmare. Do you know how they are made?"
[_E PC] "no."
[Night Hag] "You find a pegasus, rip off its wings and torture it."
[CG PC] "That doesn't seem very nice."
[Night Hag] "Pegasi don't feel pain. Also, it is not really torture, as all you're doing is tickling the pegasus. Hard. with a sharp object."
[CG PC] "Oh."
the guild lacks the function for "add space after paragraph" that google docs has, on account of the editor being simpler.
There's always the fun that ends up happening after a party of four (levels 2, 2, 2, 3) decides to feed the starving vampire spawn without doing anything as wise as restraining it. One of them held his arm above the vampire's mouth, then cut into it with a knife.

The vampire spawn, being cowardly, did not want to attack a larger group, however, when someone practically presents themselves as food like that, it turns out that vampire spawn do bite the arm that feeds it.

ten rounds of combat or so later and all but one were dead or dying. That one had wizened up and ran away, barricading the trapdoor down into the cellar the others were in.
We made the map with texual/verbal input from the other to GMs.

as for the wetness? we keep a few creatures hovering over our docs. they occasionally tend to slobber.
