Greetings all. Exiting r/baldursgate for a while. Anyone else?

[absat41]

As the title says, I thought I would try something new since r/baldursgate is closing for a while. Anyone else doing the same?

Welcome to the Tavern, take a seat and have fun!

Welcome, Absat41! We've had four new members join in the last 24 hours or so, so I'm pretty sure you're not alone.

I hope the others will feel free to introduce themselves.

Best wishes, and enjoy your stay

Welcome in our cozy Tavern. Enjoy your stay, and feel free to feel at home here!

 

[OrlonKronsteen]

Welcome, and have fun. This is the most pleasant space on the internet I’ve ever seen.

 

[absat41]

Thanks folks! Can't wait!

I've long been a regular in both communities. Welcome aboard! I think it's a pretty cozy nook to hang out here. I was wondering if we were going to see any newcomers with the subreddit shutting down.

 

[Antimatter]

It's a shame what is happening with Reddit, but we at Tavern RPG are very happy to see new faces! Hope you'll like it here and will stay for longer!

 

[Alesia_BH]

Thanks folks! Can't wait!

Lol. You know, I've never done a multiplayer run, but your enthusiasm for the 80's DnD cartoon is making me want to try a themed multiplayer party. Anyone else interested? I call dibs on Sheila.

A cowardly Cavalier? I am in! Eric.

 

[Alesia_BH]

Excellent choice. If more people join in maybe we can make this a thing, lol.

Btw, did you ever see the finale, Requiem? A fan made a cartoon of it in 2020, based on the original 1985 script that was never produced and the 2006 audio drama of that script. It looks great, almost like a real episode.

Here it is, in case you haven't seen it.

Reddit - Dive into anything

www.reddit.com

Visitng the baldur's gate subreddit now pulls up a list of alternative hangouts, including this forum. I suspect we'll see some more newcomers going forward. Little worried about the hug of death.

 

[Alesia_BH]

A reasonable concern, but I think we'll be ok.

We've added five so far since the API protest arose, one since the actual closure. Guest numbers have remained modest.

Redditors are more likely to be drawn to Discord or a replacement subreddit. It is, after all, a self-selecting set of people who chose a new school format over an old school one.

Hopefully we'll end up with a healthy yet manageable increase.

Fun. I have never seen that before!

I'm not terribly concerned about new users. They were a pretty cool crowd over there in my experience. Though maybe if I was in charge of moderating this place I'd feel differently.

I more just meant the integrity of the server if a bunch of people visited the site at the same time. I don't know what kind of set-up is running behind the scenes but sometimes when somebody links a smaller site in an especially visible part of Reddit with a lot of traffic that site goes down for a while. But given those guest numbers it sounds like we're in the clear.

 

[Urdnot_Wrex]

Ah well, humans. If we're so lucky to get a huge increase in visitors or users, I'm sure we'll handle it

The Dungeons and Dragons cartoon series was amazing, one of my favorites, together with Silverhawks, Conan: The Adventurer, and The Pirates of Dark Water : )

This forum uses XenForo, a very powerful forum software, and is hosted by KnownHost, one of the leading hosting providers. So it should be able to handle thousands of users. The question is, when do they arrive.
