This is cool. Just a tip, your mobile site’s overflow is messed up, so you can scroll way off site to the right.


Ahhh, stupid me. I made a last minute change with the newsletter field, and that had a fixed width. Should be better now. :-)


I find it interesting that people have this issue. Unless you’re actually on call, can’t you just snooze slack and emails until the next day?


For scrubbing though if you put your finger on the left or right side of the touchpad you will see a little arrow circle on the progress bar. You can then push the pad to scrub.


This sounds like such a nightmare. Why would anyone subject their team to this?

“You know how stand ups can feel like a waste of time? What if we made them waste even more time? Managers will love it.”


This looks cool, but the pricing is absolutely insane. I saw $10-30 per session. Dming is a lot of work, sure, but that is a steep price. I don’t know many people who would pay $120 a month to play DND.


Keep in mind that we're speaking of building games totally hand crafted for the players and the characters they built, if done properly. Even if using a module, not two games are the same, because GMs build around characters, and players may get the story off-rails. It doesn't seem expensive to me, we're in luxury territory.


It's not that much when you consider that the the IRL group we where paying £2 to £4 dues and a couple of drinks and food so I was spending £15+ a night last year.

Ands that counting the cost of buying books figures etc for the DM


There's a fascinating change in willingness to pay between between digital and physical products!

I used to DM a weekly game. Every Thursday night our group would get delivery, at $10-12/pp, plus beers, etc. Once we moved to a remote session, I adopted Roll20, and was trying to decide if the $5/m was worth the extra file storage :P


... I was going to comment the exact opposite. If a session is 5 players and $20/session, and lasts 4 hours, then the GM is making $25/hr and that doesn't even include prep time!


I guess time will tell, but those sessions are like 3-4 hours, so is $3 an hour really too much to pay for a live DM hosting the game?


Sure, as soon as its dev tools aren’t complete garbage.


That is an interesting point I had never considered.


You can also just change that in your account settings to use the old design.


If you hit the hamburger icon you can turn off the constant asking you to open the app pop ups.


It's still a dark pattern.


Thanks for this, I don't know if it's because I'm getting older or what but it never occurred to me to think to check for a setting... I can't keep up with all these ui trends.


I realize I’m missing the point here, but this quote has always struck me as something a rapist would say.


Well of course it is! But it's what anyone breaking any rule would say. So that doesn't have much significance.
