Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Hey Everyone,

I used to play MTG back in the day (sold my decks years ago) but now that I'm a dad the launch of Lorcana has me diving back into TCGs with Lorcana. I've been following news and discussions on other sites. Mainly that other one and on discord. I was wondering how much interest there is in starting an official Lorcana community. I know there is a new one on dbzer0 that is inactive, so I'm thinking of starting one on Lemmy.world and seeding it with content if there are enough people that are interested.

It would mainly focus on news and gameplay discussions. Things like daily or weekly card discussions and announcements. As far as trading and selling I would encourage others to take that to DMs but I wouldn't necessarily be against it unless it becomes an issue (revealing personal info and what not). So it wouldn't strictly be a trading community. Just something to stay in the know, discuss, show off your pulls and collections. That sort of thing.

Mods, if this post is out of line please let me know and I'll remove it. I searched around and couldn't find a better place to gauge interest.

Also, I would be looking to actively build a potential Lorcana community with daily content. Just wanted to mention this so people would have some confidence that I'm not just making it and then doing nothing.

edit: I started it! [email protected]

As I said in your last post, excessive self-promotion is against the rules (rule 3). What made me remove it isn't the content, but rather the lack of content. It was kinda just a link to your new community. ๐Ÿ˜…

For the this one you took the time and effort to make an elaborate post, opening it up to discussion. That's better imo.

Some other mods may argue that the last paragraph asking to check your profile may be a self-promotion in disguise (so rule 3, again), so maybe remove that. Other than that it looks good to me.

Thank you for explaining it to me in detail. The mention of my profile was only to give reassurance that I was going to be actively building a community and not just making one and doing nothing. But I can see it from your perspective now. I will remove the mention from the post.

I would be interested. Lorcana has gotten me back into TCGs after a 4 or 5 year hiatus.
