V5 is, in my opinion, a streamlined mechanical system that is easier to teach to new players. And while they’ve retconned chinks of previous lore (yay for unreliable narrator shenanigans), it is pretty open enough to pull elements from previous editions…

And this is just one edition from one box of books… I have approximately 16 other boxes of ttrpg books…

Behold! The whimsy! I hate the feel of sweaty watch bands so I wanted to make something that could be washed and worn. Now I need my jewellery making tools so I can finish it with some ✨embellishment✨

Have you published on the Storyteller’s Vault?
I would love to pick your brains about the process and your experience with the platform.

What do we do when we feel overwhelmed by everything going on? We have a meltdown, then we create, because art and whimsy in the face of adversity and global-scale cruelty is revolutionary.

They're hoping we'll forget about this in a few months and that we'll resubscribe to Nitro so they can get back their funding for this nonsense. Cancel yours and do not forget about this.

Aaaaah. I am using an iPhone emoji that is a pink heart, so that may not translate if you’re using a different operating system.
But this is another layer to the problem. That symbol will be read out as a different code, so strips any context for the symbol.

Now imagine if you have a more complex emoji as your bullet point.
It delays getting to the point. What takes a sighted person with no cognitive difficulties a fraction of a second to assess the contextual meaning of that emoji image, will take someone using a screen reader longer to hear.

The way it causes delay is, if you’re using a screen reader, you will hear it like this:

Pink heart emoji this is a bullet point

Pink heart emoji this is another bullet point

Pink heart emoji this is a third bullet point

Not quite. I’m sure you’ve seen copy in posts like this:

🩷 this is a bullet point

🩷 this is another bullet point

🩷 this is a third bullet point

Did you know?
Using emojis as bullet points in your social media posts and emails can be an accessibility nightmare for those using screen readers?
The reader will β€œread out” each emoji using its description, causing massive delays to the read.
Use Unicode bullets (* or -) instead.

Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They don’t.

Tell. Them.

Surely it would just be easiest to have them display in alphabetical order regardless of location?

Also, you know what would be super helpful? A search in the β€œPick advantages & flaws” section. Coz there’s a lot and some of us make a lot of characters and just want to get it done.

I have also noticed that in some steps of the character creation process, the explanation text box that opens up isn’t repo since to the window size. Case in point: the β€œdisciplines description” box here doesn’t wrap to the size of the window like it doesn’t elsewhere in the creation process.
