Thank @silentbutdeadly and @xaosseed for writing up the notes!
Verein
Probably best to address the verein-sized elephant in the room!
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 itās 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 ādiscord-eventā plugin over the weekend and itās 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.
Iām also looking into a ātemplateā plugin that people can use when setting up a regular game so they donāt have to copy and paste info every time a regular event is posted. ![]()
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 donāt 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. Thereās still a lot to talk about (especially in regards to future events etc.) and Iām hoping to get a bit more involved where I can.
Once again thanks a lot to everyone whether you were there, or youāre just reading along. ![]()
