Second attempt to link up ActivityPub

Trying to troubleshoot our new ActivityPub addon, which supposedly posts WordPress to Mastodon, and Mastodon replies back to WordPress. The first part is working fine, Mastodon is receiving the postings, but I can’t seem to puzzle out how to get the responses. Functionally, I think it is my own misunderstanding – I expect the software works, I just don’t know how to use it. Current theory is that the reply needs to be in response to the direct original post, so going to test that somewhat.

As we shift into a more routine summer schedule, our various live-play roleplaying sessions are starting to settle down on schedule. We were able to fit in the second session of our Pirates of Drinax campaign, our home-grown Franken-system of Shadowrun and Traveller, with the group continuing their exploration of the Trojan Reach. Having ventured to Torpol, investigating recent pirate attacks, they then followed the leads to an abandoned deep-space station, now converted as a pirate prison, in search of one of the pirate attackers. What they found was a derelict hulk of a station, damaged and barely operative, infested…

Our most recent battle report is posted now, with Episode 083 matching the Empire against the Shadow Collective. This battle was our introduction to a guest player, General Dan, who was eager to join us for a game. Dan has quite a bit of tournament experience, and a very competitive Empire Tempest Force list – he was matched up voluntarily by William playing a revision of his Shadow Collective army. The Empire was heavy on the scout troopers and speeder bikes, the Collective brought Pykes, Swoops, and A-A5 Speeder Trucks. Battle Report #083 The battle itself was short – it…

Utilizing the ActivityPub addon for WordPress, my website is now officially federated directly. This means several things: This should be a bit cleaner, and hopefully still just as functional. If you have interest and willingness to follow the website, feel free to look us up at (Halfling13@www.halfling13.com) and join in the conversation. Although I may still post as myself on occasion, most of my activity on Mastodon will shift over to the website entity in short order.

We finally managed our second session of our Travel campaign for the Pirates of Drinax, with the group continuing their investigation into recent pirate attacks on nearby systems. They began the session at Torpol, and set out to track down the damage Scout Courier ship that had fled the system. That brought them to a derelict space station, on the edges of the system, long abandoned, but used as a pirate “disposal” site. If pirates would have someone to eliminate, rather than simply spacing or shooting them, they would occasionally maroon them at the space station, until they ran out…

Our Kingmaker campaign has kicked off with some excitement, our first session will be posted this coming Friday. All but one of the players were available (with George subbing in), so we had a full group of characters. Per the start, the adventure begins with the characters responding to a call for Heroes, adventurers willing to go into the Stolen Lands and settle the territory. Most of the session was roleplaying, with the group dealing with a meet and greet over an extended dinner. Surprisingly, our typically combat focused group actually did pretty good with this challenge with several of…
