okay unironically

hi. i can post now. i have a radical proposal: what if cohost was the google+ of 2022.

this is to say: what if this is the place for long form tabletop discussion? what if we had, idk, forged in the dark fridays. powered by the apocalypse pwednesdays. cohost is our oyster. our cohoyster? idk.

the point is, talking about RPGs on twitter feels unfun and awful; there's no room to get into the meat of stuff and it's not a place for long-form engagement because the pressure is constantly on to please the algorithm and get more eyes on your itch page. this could just be The Writecraft Zone (For Tabletop) and i think it would genuinely be a good time

#idk i feel like if this place lasts it might make a solid repository for mid- to long-form trpg discussion #and would certainly beat out discord in terms of not being NEARLY as ephemeral

i would love for this to happen imo

I would even start posting more about ██████ if it did...

I was also thinking about this! And also, broadly related, I keep thinking "what if I make an account for ██████, and post one ████ a day for 1000 days."

welcome
i would support this first thing
PLEASE don't do the second thing to yourself. that is more than two and a half years of ████s. i mean maybe you're a more powerful writer than i, but still, it's. SO much

Honestly this was one of the first things that came to mind when I joined the site. Would love to see that happen!

I agree! Certainly what I'd really love to use it for is a place to record bits from one-shots/solo play (or indeed any group things if/when I get around to those!) - the threading posts function, particularly as now they collapse, is a cool way to loop it all together

I truly thought for a second that there was a new css/html truck for doing spoilers because of all the magic with those lately
