I'd like to lie and say I was thinking of you, but the truth is I've switched to android and now those buttons are bloody unusable.

We might want to fix the SWADE curse bug first... :P
Dec 14, 2021 7:07 pm
Not your sort of Curse Adam. It not a software thing.
Dec 14, 2021 7:08 pm
More often than seems normal, SWADE games start and don't always get very far before collapsing, usually by a disappearing GM. It has been noticed enough to be classified a curse.

I'd point out that I've run and played in quite a few SWADE games that have been successful, and a few that have failed early, as well.

I feel like that was only a short period where that happened. Haven't seen it happen recently anymore

And now you jinxed it. Good job Bowl.

I felt a great disturbance on the GP, as if millions of SWADE games suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

I think you're right. I feel like we've crossed over that ghostly cliff and reached the other side where there are now more completions than not. And I am confident that at least two if not three ongoing group games will stay the distance.

Good idea?

Yes. I need more stress in my life.

If anyone has any last-minute suggestions, then I have two days without anything behind the doors.

Character sheets don't scale very well on small screens or high zoom levels. This is not a mobile issue.

They are full of hard-coded widths that cause them to spill out the right side of the screen. But I am not sure this is within the scope of these fixes, they each need a lot of tweaking and it may be a lot of work for a problem that does not come up very often?

Yeah, you're right. That CSS is hellish, isn't it? But the world was a different place when it was written.

Ideally, I'd like to:
Expand the BBCode to allow the other sheet components to be modelled.
Add WYSIWYG so people don't need to see the BBCode except to create the templates.
Deprecate everything other than custom.

But you're right - that's not a tweak, it's a campaign - and not even a campaign with a map.

How do I vote for that? I would vote for that!

--Load previous-- more than once.

I know it would sort of be redundant with load all, but I find myself wishing it was available some times if I'm browsing a thread backwards to remember what happened recently.
