Tabletop Rpg posts, content, and recruitment posts.

Recruitment posts should contain what system is being played, CW for any adult/serious themes players need to be aware of and whether a game is beginner friendly.

An obvious reminder of no racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia.

Emphasis on small independent rpgs like the ones in the TTRPGs for Trans Rights in Texas but not against dnd stuff.

Title kinda says it all.

I have Foundry so that's sweet. Oh yeah, and don't be afraid to recommend me some obscure ones as well as popular ones.

Let's see... I like Star Wars, Appalachia, labor movement, Star Trek, the Pathfindner games by Owlcat, Warhammer 40k (syke! but I may get into it due to its increased popularity recently), Arthurian legends, Lord Dunsany, horror, foreign shit (like, foreign novels, foreign games, foreign everything), Chinese stuff, Chinese web novels, etc.

What else, what else... Pluto and other space shti? Eh, idk. Africa, non-European fantasy, noir, neurodiversity/autism, desert fantasy, weird fiction, Gothic literature, Nintendo, dwarves, Ottoman empire, pirates, tropical settings, OMORI, ASOIAF book series, Assassin's Creed (ig? back then, but i don't know about now as I haven't played the recent ones), history in general, sociology, Elden Ring, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, anything like the upcoming Dolmenwood TTRPG, and I guess anything like the Enclave TTRPG.

No to: more Viking shit (Viking shit seems to everywhere and I hate it), Orientalist two-dimensional shenanigans, "you can be the bad guys in this setting... even though they're technically the good guys now but with a dark aesthetic to them!," Numenera (I hated the video game), Game of Thrones TV show, zombies, Bethesda Game Studios, and, err, yeah, I'll leave it at that.

So yeah, now that you know what my interests are, how about I dox myself, yeah?

Okay, look down to see what I look like:

Yeah, I've heard great things about Delta Green and Call of Cthulhu by extension, but especially Delta Green. I don't mind the Men in Black-type story-telling to Delta Green at all. What is Deadlands, btw? Never heard of Savage Lands, though I do want to try GURPS.

Savage Lands is a game system that involves really low dice (basically higher value dice based on the level of the relates stat), poker chips that can be spent on rerolls or blocking attacks, and a very simple quirk sytem (like the quirks in Shadowrun). Deadlands is pretty much DnD, but in the Wild West. There's a portal to hell and you play classes that would relate to the kind of setting, like gunslingers or voodun. Deadlands is particularly known for using a deck of 51 over dice rolls in some of its versions.
