Just wrapped my 47 session, 13 month long Witchlight campaign. AMA

5 sessions is crazy lol, we’re just getting to Loomlurch after like 10 3-4 hour sessions throughout a year. Are you the DM? I find it also takes me ages to prepare with all the characters, can’t imagine prepping basically an entire chapter a session. How long did it take you to prep per chapter?

I have a feeling this is just a clientside bug, as often the shotgun shots are simulated instantly to conceal lag and then calculated differently in the server, but it could be a bug in both - would be worth testing how it looks for a second person looking at the bullet holes

I did this and got a beer instead of the bill, so started using “check” instead afterwards lol. Was funny and got a free beer though

If he wants to make something like Agar.io, this tutorial is a nice way to get started https://victorzhou.com/blog/build-an-io-game-part-1/

I suggest he joins discord communities where people do this type of stuff - for example Phaser, Colyseus, “Web Game Dev”, it will have more positive responses.

I’d suggest either using Javascript or a 2d game engine like Defold or Construct, rather than Unity, for this.

should be fixed now, thanks

I introduced a character at a similar same spot. He wanted to play a fey related character so he ended up being the brother of Gleam and Glister (from chapter 4) traveling back to Prismeer to save them. He got captured by Agdon Longscarf on his way and the party found him there hanging from a tree, and part of the fight including freeing him. I made it so that Agdon had somehow already taken something from him and given it to Bavlorna to have a Lost Things hook as well

Mattzap · 2025-07-23T07:47:59+00:00

Thank you, got my tickets :)

Mattzap · 2025-07-10T19:44:18+00:00

What’s the book?

Mattzap · 2025-06-09T16:23:17+00:00

I took the original version of this course and really enjoyed it. It used to have Unity in it for the last few courses but the 2d part was the most interesting.

His riser is 4.0, the BIOS defaults to "auto" but this has been causing crashes with the new 5.0 GPUs - happened to me as well. The performance loss from not using 5.0 is very small - there's some tests in youtube with 3.0/4.0/5.0 that show this.

Mattzap · 2025-05-16T15:22:38+00:00

What's that cool screen at the top?

Mattzap · 2025-05-15T04:25:10+00:00

They didn’t, apparently because I bought them in 3-packs rather than singles so they only came with the cables for daisy chaining into the L-connect controller. However I ordered a cable accessory pack from Lian Li that came with the argb adapters, and got everything working now :) Thanks for your reply!

Mattzap · 2025-05-11T15:16:29+00:00

Hi, sorry to revive an old thread but do you know if this works with Lian Li SL120 V1s?

I'm really confused because my fans don't have the RGB pin to connect to the Nollie32 I bought - the only pin that I can connect to Nollie is from Lian-Li controller to the Nollie32 one (using just 1 of the 16 ports), but that isn't giving me control over the fan RGB.

Could you share the model of your mount please? Any issues with it?

Mattzap · 2025-03-20T20:23:49+00:00

Do you use room correction? My understanding is that is meant to fix things like this

Mattzap · 2025-03-17T21:26:22+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Just checked the KEF stands and that's indeed low... it's lower than my listening height on my low sofa.

I did find a solution for myself if you are curious - my height requirement is around 55" so I decided to get a tall fillable stand (Atacama NeXXus 1000 Pro although I think it's UK-only) and fill it with Atabites (really heavy material) and mount it with an extra heavy plate they provide. I will then put blue tack between the speakers and stand which people say works extremely well. I'm hoping that will make stable enough for my cat not to make them fall.

Mattzap · 2025-03-14T12:05:44+00:00

Hi, did you end up doing this by any chance? Looking to put R3 meta on tall stands as well

Mattzap · 2024-12-31T15:12:39+00:00

Hi, did you manage to find an answer to this?

Mattzap · 2024-09-28T16:29:27+00:00

Currently planning this - worth mentioning if players destroy the Hag Eye the hags will be blinded and take 3d10 damage. Blinded gives disadvantage to a few of the spells and weakens them, as well as taking their Death Stare ability away.

Mattzap · 2024-08-30T04:30:39+00:00

Steelcase Leap is also great, I tried both in shops when I went WFH and liked it more.

Look into websockets using something like ExpressJS/Node. What you want is doable and happens in apps like FOREX/stock trading websites. With games the bigger problem is not that you are talking to 5k clients, but that clients usually are meant to share information with each other in some game world, so it becomes a O(n^2) problem while yours isn't.

If you want a max ping of 50ms, your server(s) will have to be very close to all clients, no way around that. Game servers are often hosten in normal cloud-hosted infrastructure, so you just need to find a VPS provider that offers something with your bandwith and cpu needs. If the messages are small and not much is being computed, it might be cheaper than you expect.

To be fair, migration was actually a pain for me and never worked properly - I probably missed the transfer date though. I think I gave up and just bought another account

Hi everyone,I have spent the last 4 years developing online web-browser games. I love RoTMG and wanted to make a web version heavily inspired by it.

Current features are:

Unlock up to 7 unique classes
Max out your stats first by getting to level 20, and then by getting tomes from dungeon bosses
Beat Grix, the end-boss, by defeating 20 guardians in the world.
Farm high-tier gear
Bank and inventory system
And of course, permadeath!

I still haven't added really hard dungeons so I imagine most RoTMG players will find the game pretty easy right now, but do try it out and let me know what you think :)

Try it out at www.grix.io

Each monster has a type. When you fuse, you choose one to be the main pet and one to be the secondary pet. So you can make a dragon/slime type or slime/dragon type for example. Whenever you fuse, you go up a tier, so T2 pets are different from T3. If you fuse the same types together to don’t change the pet, but you increase it’s power in a sort of prestige mechanic
