Forging Legacy of RPG Vienna Together: Ideas and Volunteers Wanted!

Thank @silentbutdeadly and @xaosseed for writing up the notes!

Verein

Probably best to address the verein-sized elephant in the room! :smiley: The conclusion is that RPGVienna as a community is just not ready for it yet. It should still be discussed in future and remain open but right now the cons outweigh the pros.

Forum Features

We talked a bit about the forum and what it’s used for. People seemed happy with the focused amount of sub-forums and the auto-close timer for posts in Arrange a Game. It feels tight and manageable which is what I originally intended.

I installed the ā€˜discord-event’ plugin over the weekend and it’s now available when creating a post in Arrange a Game. Please use it when setting up an event and let me know if you run into any problems.

I’m also looking into a ā€˜template’ plugin that people can use when setting up a regular game so they don’t have to copy and paste info every time a regular event is posted. :+1:

Forum Donations

Everyone seemed happy with the possibility of donating towards server costs for the forum and offered to highlight the donation links in future games/posts. So, I don’t feel bad posting the links now! Someone mentioned being a bit put-off that Patreon takes a high percentage in fees but I looked it up and Patreon takes 8% in fees. buymeacoffee was also suggested so I set up an account there too. (buymeacoffee takes 5% in fees)

Patreon if you want to set up a recurring donation. https://www.patreon.com/rpgvienna buymeacoffee if you just want a one-off donation

Regular meetings

We also talked about having such a meeting at a (semi) regular pace which will remain open to all. There’s still a lot to talk about (especially in regards to future events etc.) and I’m hoping to get a bit more involved where I can.

Once again thanks a lot to everyone whether you were there, or you’re just reading along. :heart:
