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.

It's fortunate that Wizards of the Coast can't keep it in their metaphorical pants and keeps trying to go for all of the money in the most obnoxiously predatory ways and has done so since at least 4th edition and its attempt at a virtual tabletop monopoly and "blind bag" miniature peddling.

I need to train myself to stop saying "D&D" for tabletop fantasy games because I am not going back again. I left before, and this time it's permanent. Fuck WOTC. guts-rage

Technically? But it's for everyone's fun and nobody needs to see behind the Warden's screen ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Oh yeah, one more thing: fudging dice is your right and even your responsibility at times (yes, that includes in the players' favor). Use it wisely, especially if a result that could determine how the rest of the session goes hangs in the balance.

I roll in the open, let chaos reign!

I can and have ran games like that, too.

To my surprise, players eventually preferred the blind screen. If I rolled something that wasn't in their favor, it somehow stung more and made them more unhappy than if I nudged it and let them sweat but also gave them a fighting chance to recover from a tough spot.
