Folks, if you're familiar with Mastodon the social media (as opposed to the mammal or the band) you can find me at: dice.camp/@epidiah

If you're not familiar, Mastodon is a bit like a Twitter-substitute with a 500 character limit. It does some neat things with localizing control. For example, instead of joining Mastodon as a whole, you join an instance which is usually made up of a collection of like-minded folk. The https://dice.camp/ instance is dedicated to tabletop gaming with a healthy contingent of roleplayers.

I'm new to the whole Mastodon thing, but enjoying it thus far. I'm particularly intrigued by the 500 character count. Especially, intrigued by the rogues you can write up in 500 characters. But it might be a bit tricky since, with punctuation and spaces, at least 76 characters are already accounted for:
Eidolon:
All that Deserves a Name:
#SwordsWithoutMaster
Glum:
Jovial:
Trick:

Might save some characters by just linking to the eidolon and labeling the trick by it's name instead of both "Trick:" and it's name. Also, no shame in trimming "All Deserving a Name:" down to "Names:" The #SwordsWtihoutMaster hashtag is vital, though. Mastodon is only searchable by hashtags. Might even want to slap a #Rogue on there, too.

Anyway, I'm going to give it a shot and I invite you to join me. Hit me up on dice.camp when you get there.
