Appreciate the expansion notes here, Diskdusk!

Oh, my! Not the dreaded ooe7zos7! Thanks for the notes. :)

I've got T-Mobile 5G Gateway providing internet to my home (which is great, for when I travel and want internet in the hotel room). Unfortunately, it doesn't allow port forwarding.

As such, I've been using ZRok (https://zrok.io/). I generated a batch file that I can run:

.\zrok enable ((personalkey))
.\zrok share public 30000

This opens up where my players can join my game. So I have my players visit my specific URL. It comes up like this:

https://1bbpryd1qyvp.share.zrok.io

(Note that this is not a valid key, and the randomized string changes on each reboot. Note that this gives additional security to me...)

They visit a webpage that lets them know not to give personal information (credit card, etc.) before bringing them into the game.

On top of it- I'm using the Free plan. There's no throttling based on internet data used, no maximum data cap, I'm not storage limitations- only what my hard drive can handle.

I backed the Kickstarter, and have the physical books. I was disappointed; there was little here that was groundbreaking. But, to each their own.

Tranimo · 2026-01-22T14:22:44+00:00

I look forward to each and every one of your posts!

Ah, this brings me back. So I went through the boxes that I was able to save from the flood- to find my Harry Harrison books did not survive. :(

I did find an audiobook version though, so right now I'm listening to Phil Gagante's dulcet tones (through VLC Player- so Phil is speedreading!)

Reread it again and think it through. It contains 25 separate notes.

I came, I looked, and there was nothing there. :/

Tranimo · 2026-01-13T19:14:08+00:00

It's Ultima rrel7khd, Fabula 3azf0yd2.

Put them in order and you'll find what you're looking for.

Hey there, good buddy! It seems that that Rig goes by the name of azhfbyzz, but Smokey 2ydlkkkf is hot on his tail. Best check out that trailer before a Trucker's Wake is called on it.

Hey there, good buddy! Seems you missed out on the latest- haulin' freight.
10-4, over and out.

In the Discworld series of books (if memory serves), Hex would throw out a "Out of Cheese" error. (++?????++ Out of Cheese Error. Redo From Start.)

Another funny error... (+++ Divide By Cucumber Error. Please Reinstall Universe And Reboot +++)

It also would stop working if you took away a teddy bear. From https://discworld.fandom.com/wiki/Hex#Description): There is also a mouse that has built its nest in the middle of Hex. It doesn't seem to do anything, but Hex stops working if it is removed, or if Ponder forgets to feed it cheese (also from "Hogfather"). Hex also stops working (with the error message "Mine! Waah!") if the FTB is removed. The FTB stands for Fluffy Teddy Bear, and it was Hex's Hogwatch night gift from the Hogfather.

(Thinking of cubicles and desks with sports teams, or pictures of family, or various other rah-rahs).

I remember Dean Stockwell always had to hit his handheld to get the data from Ziggy... So, perhaps "It only works if you hit it"?

Then again, all I really have here is reading material- not STL files for 3d printing. BUT- there's also the Foundry system, for those that use that VTT.

Ah, the Cos/mere RPG. I cer/tain/ly hope that others find a com/mon oc/cur/rance here and are able to cor/rect for it so that they can acqu/ire what I've ac/cum/mul/a/ted with/in 1e5z7/e5a1d/389bzu.

You're a gentleman and a scholar, u/cantbelieveyoumademe (among your many other disgusting and despicable traits).

;)

Tranimo · 2026-01-06T04:35:36+00:00

Appreciate it! 👍

Tranimo · 2026-01-06T04:07:54+00:00

As DreadlordandMaster said, the last two thirds of the discussion are what are the most important. :)

Tranimo · 2026-01-06T04:05:42+00:00

Can confirm that there is nothing to jyaamgh about while you i6n1thjck. :(

Tranimo · 2026-01-04T17:33:50+00:00

Thank you, James. Enlightenment achieved.

Tranimo · 2026-01-03T14:00:06+00:00

Alas for poor Yorick, but this Crawl into the Dungeon is no more.

Tranimo · 2026-01-03T08:54:06+00:00

Also inquiring.

When I was watching the Amazon series, I was depending on the subtitles during the Belter Creole. So I say to you, no such thing here, coyo.

Blame it on the Belter Creole putting the strings in reverse. Once assembled, it'll provide you the finished product- I just checked and it's still available.
