The Golden Twenty Dice

[noodlemaz@mstdn.games]

@davidrevoy a die!

[nlupo@amikejo.xyz]

@davidrevoy Oh, the cursed unexpected nat one.

[epic_null@infosec.exchange]

@davidrevoy So the worst outcome is an outcome you can still survive? I might be willing to roll it.

[tealk@friendica.rollenspiel.monster]

@davidrevoy sure, no risk no fun

[jherazob@mastodon.ie]

@davidrevoy
Considering my luck at dice when playing wargames which use D20s I'm quite unsure, it could ALWAYS be worse

Note: I'm testing something new: splitting the four panels and posting them as separate pictures.
Reasons:
- More resolution and details
- Easier to read, larger font size
- Mobile/small-screen friendly.

Should I keep this format for the future?

[elfi@social.pixie.town]

@davidrevoy Wow, it's just me, complete with lousy luck

[profpatsch@mastodon.xyz]

@davidrevoy Like the 4-panels as separate images, it’s fun to scroll through them one by one

[tanavit@toot.aquilenet.fr]

@davidrevoy

Hum...

I would melt it and sell the ingot.

🤪

[profpatsch@mastodon.xyz]

@davidrevoy Would be fun if mastodon had a “partially hidden content” feature that you could hide the last panel from preview (to not spoil the punchline)

[sybren@fosstodon.org]

@davidrevoy it's golden (on the outside), what could possibly go wrong?

[lina@tech.lgbt]

@davidrevoy on reddit i've seen a lot of artists first have the panels as individual image, and then another picture with all of them combined.. though won't work with mastodon as that has a 4 images limit per post and even if you post from e.g. misskey the mastodon ui cuts off at the 4th with no indication that there's more

[reiddragon@fedi.catto.garden]

@davidrevoy I've been seeing quite a lot of artists take this route as of late.

[wobintosh@chaos.social]

@davidrevoy I‘d say, it should be the artists choice - if you have panels which really need many details, split the panels. If the „overall impression“ of the panels seem very important - one image with all panels. Or maybe mix it up?

[petterofcats@mastodon.world]

@davidrevoy I like the higher resolution and ease of reading, but it’s so weird to flip through 4 panels on the app in mobile. I only see 1 and a sliver of another. I’m also excruciatingly lazy, so yeah 1 image of 4 panels is better for me at the moment.

[danielmunoz@maly.io]

@davidrevoy Yeah, better for mobile devices. Thank you!

[dbat@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@davidrevoy I dunno... comics == panels, in my book. Also bandwidth and web cost...

[davidrevoy@framapiaf.org]

@lina Good to know about Miskey; I had no idea the Mastodon UI was trimming the pictures count if above 4. That sounds bad, because if a comic artist on Miskey post a story in 6 panels and his client allows it on the Fediverse, it's a shame that Masto UI ruins the story and trim it...

[neotheta@toot.finfur.net]

@davidrevoy I prefer the one image method because then I can just read the whole thing without extra clicking. But I do have fairly large screen + large enough phone to not require zooming.

[weirdmustard@cyberpunk.lol]

@davidrevoy I feel like that might depend on the measurements. It does look cool and comic-y when the panels are differently sized. With the 4 panels being perfectly square it also works as a "slideshow" but is less unique.
