What changed at Tabletop Library, week by week
If your playlist matched a lot of new tables, you used to get a text for each one, sometimes ten a week and at any hour. Now tables more than a few hours away come together in one text at 3:30pm. You get at most one a day and three a week, and nothing between 9pm and 9am. Tables starting soon still text you straight away.
You used to be able to join a table or event only until ten minutes after it started. Now you can join any time until it ends as sometimes people had worked out plans this way. If it overlaps a game you're already booked for, the site tells you before you join.
The clubs page now shows each club as a placard. When a club texts you about its next night, reply IN or OUT to answer.
And if you ask the concierge a rules question without naming the game, it assumes the one at your table right now, from your reservation.
Events you added to Apple Calendar could arrive seven or eight hours off as they did not send the timezone. They now show the right time, and the text you get when you're moved off a waitlist includes a link to add the night to your calendar.
We now have a changelog so you can look at what has changed on the website. Published once a week on friday.
November's pick, Foundations of Rome, has a leaderboard. One person logs the table's scores from the QR code, and each score is adjusted for the size of the table. The top three show on the window boards.
We wait 5 mins before texting folks after something happens, so that members who are making rapid changes to a reservation don't spam everyone.
A background check could sign you out on every device even though your login was fine. It no longer does. You can also now accept a table invite from an account with a different email.
Game pages are getting a photo of the game being played, alongside the box art. We look through the top 200 photos for any given game and try to pick the best one to show you what it looks like on a table.
The concierge can now read rulebooks that were scanned as pictures, and tells you which edition it's answering from.
