Well a day turned into just a few hours. I am moving over to @twisterghost and will sunset this account eventually.

Thanks to everyone who is following me now, and double thanks if you follow me again at the new account!

Gonna give it one more day but I'm thinking I might be switching over to my new instance full time.

If you'd like to keep following me, please follow me at @twisterghost

I'll be posting this a few more times as I get closer to cutting off this account, and I'll do an account redirect/migration, whatever that actually does.

If I'm following you twice right now, it's because I've set up an instance elsewhere and I'm deciding if I want to make the full switch or not.

Waiting on a response from the relay server to see what that's like to help me discover stuff. Once I get that settled I'll see how search and some other features feel before deciding where to go.

Big ups to @mastohost for great service, regardless.

Biting the bullet and setting up my own instance through masto.host. I'll poke at it for a bit and if I'm happy with the service, I'll be sure to be clear about how to follow me in my new space.

I considered self hosting and managing but I just don't have the bandwidth to focus on that right now.

So, watch this space I suppose. I'd like to be building more tabletop tools that follow these guidelines. The landscape is pretty just apps that are either too overbearing, require a subscription, or crusty and janky.

The goals are:

* Character/monster bank
* No login (all local data)
* Auto save state, come back whenever
* Minimal, effective, clear design
* FAST - little-to-no load time, lightweight at run time

As a DM, I just want a combat manager that does exactly what I need, and nothing more, that is available at a whim, that I can preload with entities and gives me the clear overview and organization I need, and I don't want to have to log in to something for it.

Also its just a fun project.
