Roadmap of upcoming release/additions to DDB

The migration is complete and we're up and running. You might notice some small data loss, but hopefully nothing major.

As a recap, our current host is going out of business, so we were required to move to a new one.

As part of this migration, we also moved to using object storage on backblaze instead of local storage.

All of this should mostly be transparent to the users. One thing not transparent is that old.ttrpg.network is currently not back up yet. Not sure when/if we will be able to support it on the new host yet, so stay tuned.

As an aside, this is probably a good time to shill for the site; Due to this migration and change, costs are going up. Not majorly, but still going up none-the-less.

So in light of that, i just want to mention that we have a ko-fi, which currently rakes in a whopping $0 per month (we had some early donations way back in the beginning, but that's two years ago). The site is free to use and will continue to be so, but anything you feel like donating is always appreciated. Even a dollar or two helps.

Just wanted to let everyone know, I have taken the final backups before migration. I decided to leave the site up for now while the backup is worked on at the new host

THIS MEANS ALL POSTS/DATA GOING FORWARD WILL NOT BE LIVE ON THE NEW HOST.

I'm leaving this up only for convenience of the users to continue to browse the fediverse.

Note that any comments and posts you send out will be federated, but they won't be on the new host once we are up and running.

There will be an outage at some point this weekend as we swap over to the new host.

We will target migrating to a new hosting service this weekend. The site will probably be taken down sometime on 12/12/2025 to perform final backups from our current host and uploading to the new host. The weekend will then be set aside for migration on to the new host.

I don't think it should take longer than sunday 12/14/2025, in fact i would hope it would be done before then, but we will see.

I don't have exact times it will be happening, just depends on how everything lines up.

Hey all, just an update, our object storage migration mentioned in the previous announcement is complete; We should be using the new backend for image storage now and image uploads should be re-enabled.

The next step in our migration will be migrating to a brand new host, which should be happening sometime in the next few weeks.

The actual migration will likely result in down time, but i will give heads up before we start.

Also let me know if you run into any problems or issues

Just an FYI, as part of our migration off of our current host, it's become apparent that we're going to need to migrate our image hosting to object storage.

The change should be rather seamless from the front-end perspective outside of the migration window, but during the migration window, our image hosting capabilities will be offline. I'm not sure how long it will take (the current image hosting data is fairly large) so it could be a bit of a prolonged outage.

Text posts, and commenting should all work, image hosting and thumbnails will be broken. You can still link to external image hosting such as imgur.com, but it won't generate a thumbnail.

I'll update here when it is complete, but as of right now, i would plan for a potential multi-day outage.

Hey all! I've been working for the past year-and-a-half-ish on a TTRPG game in my spare time. I've finally decided to put it out there in the wild. The main reason for creating this is to flex creative and design muscles more than anything.

For a short synopsis, the game is inspired by 16-bit era video games and tries to pull off similar aesthetic choices. It's also inspired by things like warhammer 40k, D&D, space-themed movies and TV shows.

The Pendragon Nebula is a hot-spot for weird, psionic activity. The Mad King Artur attempts to clamp down on all the inhabitants of the solar system and enforce his will upon all his subjects, but his hold has been slipping in recent decades. Baronies, Cities, and even whole planets are in rebellion.

Play as a psionic wielding psi-knight, space adventurer, or ship's engineer, among other options!

It features heavy use of psionic powers, as well as a reasonably rich character progression system.

The entire system uses only D6's, which was a design constraint i wanted to put on myself.

It's completely free in a "pay what you want" fashion, and i would love to hear any thoughts and feedback, as well as your experience playing it!

I've just been made aware of this, but as an fyi to the community, our hosting company is going out of business. There's time for us to migrate hosting services, the final date is February of 2026, and they're available for us to assist in migration of our instance, but I wanted to share with everyone, as we might see some down time after figuring out what's next.
