/TG/ Community Newsletter #13, 2026/07

Welcome to the 13th /tg/ monthly newsletter!

This is a basic summary of all the going-ons and happenings in TGstation in the last month, along with any upcoming events and highlights.

General Docket

Hi all, welcome to July, the start of blistering heatwaves and the end of Pride month. Make sure to stay hydrated this coming summer, especially for all you fellow Britons.

We have a new server. Manuel 2. What’s so new about it? Umm… Nothing, really. It’s just an overflow for Manuel, when those 90 pop rounds just aren’t your style. No unique name has been given to it as it’s strictly an overflow server, but following our naming conventions, I give a +1 to the unofficial name of Polly.

Upcoming Events

The upcoming Manuel and Terry scheduled rounds on a Saturday and Friday weekly respectively. Please view the events button/calendar button on the discord for more information.

Creating a Space Station 13 TTRPG

So I've been thinking about it and looking around online for a few years now. There hasn't been anybody that decided to convert Space Station 13 into a Tabletop RPG and to my surprise? Its kinda interesting to see how none have taken up the opportunity to do it.

So I've decided to do it myself and get down on some basic world building and all that. Then again I'm not really in depth on Space Station 13's actual lore or whatever but it can't hurt to either find official stuff or just come up with my own unique stuff for the TTRPG

And once I finish out the basic Space Station 13 stuff I'll definitely look into adding other things from different codebases for example like Roguetown that could be used as future expansions with more content.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1itH5AK29sbARkE37vkH9_g05Dah5bJJk0huPLC1VVRE/edit?usp=sharing

Although I haven't worked on the mechanics enough just yet I do have an idea on dice pools, jobs, stats, traits, and skills to make your Spacer stand out among the crew.

So I shall proudly share this google doc and ask for anybody that may be interested in developing this project with me to create the Space Station 13 TTRPG that may last as long as the game itself.

Are Europeans soft locked from Fun?

Hello Spessmen,

I'm from Germany and been playing SS13 for a while now. But with most servers being located somewhere in the US, I'm kinda unable to play on them due to the horrible Ping I'll get on them

The closest I can get is if I play on TG. I've tried Monkey and Paradise station, but it went aswell as expected.

Do you guys know someone good servers along the line of MRP?

I WOULD RATHER DRAG MY DICK THROUGH SHARDS OF GLASS AND FUCK A SILVERBACK GORILLA BEFORE I EVEN TOUCH ERP SERVERS.

Edit: I don't think you guys understand what I mean with bad ping. I'm not talking about 120-200ms. I'm talking 350-450ms at minimum.

Servers should stop banning people.

If you have a player coming on your server and is obviously cheating or majorly disrupting the round in in a big way then yes ban them.

What I don't get is why servers have admins on them that admonish and punish players for having fun in a silly game. They will ban their own SS13 community members.

I have seen some people that play often for years get banned over something stupid.

Some of the rules on these servers is so long and covers everything, you could say that anything is a rule break.

BYOND development news 7/3/26 🇺🇸🎆🧨🎇🇺🇸

We've finally said goodbye to our temps at the docks, but what really makes it feel like things are settling down is that we had another Syndie infiltration attempt. This one tried to sneak aboard by stowing away in an outer compartment of one of the arriving transfer shuttles. Unfortunately for them, they miscalculated which parts of the shuttle would be pressurized. We had to get a replacement shuttle while forensics locked down that one to examine the aftermath. Once they're done maintenance will have to use their special deep-cleaning magic before the shuttle can go back in service.

  • 516.1684 was released this week, with more bug fixes.
  • Among the bug fixes was an old bug with nested client.eye, and another old bug with networking.
  • 517 is finally in alpha! I'm keeping the alpha group very small for the moment but plan to expand it. I'm hoping it can be quicker than 517's alpha, but I'll definitely need to stress-test the render changes with an SS13 render stack at some point.
  • Thank you to the BYOND Members and everyone contributing via Patreon and SubscribeStar!
  • Happy Independence Day, Spez. But I hope your weenie falls in the dirt.

There's a little more on the BYOND forums. Today's early-access Patreon post goes into that weird client.eye bug, how exactly it worked, how it was fixed, and how things changed over time to make it appear. Today's gonna be brutally hot, even more so than yesterday, so even with the holiday weekend I'm calling it early so I can get out of this heat. Downstairs is fine with the central A/C, upstairs not so much, and on days like this the fans can only mix the air so much. Hope you all have a great holiday, and those of you who live elsewhere, just have a great weekend. I'll be back Monday, with heatstroke.
