A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

8) No Bots.

Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I just had this (terrible?) idea of running a Dnd campaign but via lemmy. Im hopped up on cold medicine so maybe this wouldnt really work but i was thinking itd be like those long running chess matches. Just kinda come by and make a move whenever. Thered be a community for it and youd make a post describing your char. Then id make a thread describing the campaign setting an shit and a comment to start it off. People reply with what they wanna do, i tell em to roll or what happens.

Idk if this type of post falls under the support rule just delete if no good.

Id love to hear peoples thoughts on how to make this work or not. What would be the pain points? How to make it easier to follow along chronologically with all the threads/replies of players?

Edit: are there dice rolling bots for lemmy? It might be prudent to put a d20 roll at the end of saying what youre attempting. Otherwise the turn around from ‘i wanna do x’ ‘ok roll [skill]’ ‘i rolled a 17’ ‘heres what happens’ might be real tedious. Could also see that influencing what people say they wanna do tho…

Edit2: i made a thing LemND
