Welcome to the staging ground for new communities! Each proposal has a description in the "Descriptions" category and a body of questions and answers in "Incubator Q&A". You can ask questions (and get answers, we hope!) right away, and start new proposals.
Are you here to participate in a specific proposal? Click on the proposal tag (with the dark outline) to see only posts about that proposal and not all of the others that are in progress. Tags are at the bottom of each post.

What are you rolling them on or into now? You mentioned dice trays; what are yours made out of? (more) |

Oh wow, you're right. There are also tabletop shuffleboard-style games. This sounds like a job for Meta. :-)

This question is a test of scoping "recommendation-style" questions. It feels answerable (in our format) to me, though it was closed for being a recommendation question somewhere else. (more) |

| Question | — |
How can I quickly introduce players to the crayon rail games? I like the crayon rail games. I've played a lot of Iron Dragon, some EuroRails, and a smattering of others. I'd like to introduce acquaintances who aren't already experienced gamers to this category of game. But these games are rather longer than most gateway games.[^1] At an hour per player (on...

Thanks @#61308! I'm happy to make adjustments as we get more experience with it -- something is better than nothing, and if we can make something even better, let's do that. (more) |

A: Provide a template for proposals? I've added a template to the help, linked from both the "how to propose a community" help topic and the posting guidance when you start a proposal post. We don't yet have a way to pre-populate the editor (like GitHub does), so it's still a manual process, but I hope "follow link, select the stuff in... (more) |

Template for Proposal Posts You can use the following template for proposal posts -- copy and paste the contents of the code block into the editor after starting a proposal post. ```md Community Name (name) Description (a sentence or two about what the site is for) Topics Topics covered would include: - .....

A: Tag collision between proposals Or maybe share the tag description? If a tag has overlap, use sections labeled by proposal. This avoids the cognitive load of mixing in the proposal name only on some tags. When a community launches, people would need to edit the description on the new site but wouldn't need to rename anything. (C... (more) |

A: How to tell that a proposal is ready for launch? Incubator Q&A is meant to be the same as it would be on the launched site -- ask real questions, write real answers, discuss scope questions on Meta. When a community launches, it will take its incubated Q&A with it -- so that should be real, not proxies. One of the effects of trying out a propos... (more) |

Thanks. I noticed this problem _just_ before going offline for Shabbat and dropped a note into the project chat, but didn't have time to do more. I don't yet know what happened here -- did somebody add a second tag differing only in capitalization and we have a mix of case-sensitive and case-insens... (more) |

Oh, it's not a cutting line -- I read too much into your question, sorry. I don't have experience with a way that doesn't leave at least a small mark; I never experimented with tape, for instance. In that case the other answer is better than mine. (more) |

A: How do I draw a perfect circle on a square of plywood? When I needed to cut a 4' circle out of the middle of a sheet of plywood, I fabricated a compass by tying a long-enough piece of non-stretchy string to a tack or finishing nail -- I forget which, but it was something small enough that it wouldn't leave a mark on the other side of the plywood. To t... (more) |

A: Image upload broken in Incubator Q&A Sorry for the poorly-timed disruption! I've been told that this is due to a migration of S3 storage causing a caching problem that should clear up soon. (Sorry, I'm the messenger not the technical expert on this one.) (more) |

Or they ask on the site where they already participate and have some investment. Some questions are on topic in more than one place and that's _fine_. Each community gets to decide what it accepts, and each asker gets to decide where to ask if there are multiple options. (more) |

Consider adding: and if so, how? Otherwise this becomes a yes/no question, but I'm assuming that if it's possible you want to know how to do it, right? (more) |

Oh wow -- I'd like to know this too, because as a *user* I much prefer the hyphens for parsing. It wouldn't have occurred to me that search engines would be working against that. (more) |
