Hi folks,
No rush on this at all.
The recent Kantas milestone of 1,000 sessions got me thinking ...
Could there be any mileage in including session numbers in rumours as helpful references?
I don't know if the benefit is worth the time to put it in motion - so I'm raising it as an open question to see if the big brains of Kantas (1) can see some reasonable benefits, and (2) can see a way of implementing it which would be relatively low hassle.
Optimistically, if we're keeping count of sessions somewhere anyhow, then I was hoping that this might not involve too much additional effort? Wishful thinking, perhaps.
Potential Benefits:
+ Simple, clear references
+ Faster, more reliable searches of forum
+ Concise means of referencing in Discord chats, Loot threads, RPs, etc
It would also provide quite a neat means to concisely summarise lists of related sessions, for example if doing a meta write-up for a story arc, season finale, or for a particular PC. Skimming these session numbers would also give a directional indication for how much time had passed between those events.
A second, watered-down approach to consider would be to make available a version of whatever, numbered, master list is already being maintained - so that players can read session numbers from that if they wish instead. I guess this might make for less admin, but more scope for user error by players?
Interested to hear your thoughts, and if you can see a simple enough way to make this work, that also feels worthwhile for our awesome volunteers.
