@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social When will Neochat have thread support?

@sammytheman666@ttrpg.network @Currens_felis@lemmy.ml Not only very funny but, in my opinion, a better story with better pacing and better characters than the original.

Mr. Popo as a horrifying sadistic eldritch being was absolutely an improvement.

@Zagaroth@ttrpg.network Expanding on my earlier reply - my situation has a lot of parallels with yours, including eyeing Royal Road as a possible place to publish the serial.

I started up a prose fantasy-adventure serial as a medium to build a setting that's not encumbered by other people's Intellectual Precious, and try out some DMing ideas and scenario concepts in a controlled environment. Started with an ensemble of three "competent misfit" characters in (as is tradition) a small-town tavern and gave them a lead on potentially recruiting a fourth member to round out their group, and a selection of requests for help to start their "adventuring" career on. Now I've got several villages, a collection of Non-Protagonist-Characters, various businesses, and about three "big" sources of potential antagonism so far. Had an idea for a whole campaign idea (from another Fediverse conversation elsewhere) that I may test out in this medium, too, which should be fun.

How are you liking Royal Road as a hosting/publishing platform so far?
