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.

Did the mistake change anything about the outcome of the fight? No, but telling the players that would be metagaming

Rule of cool is just a bandaid for systems that aren't fit for the group's purposes. That's why it rarely shows up outside of D&D.

It's a close relative of the "I don't feel like looking the relevant rule up, so let's go with the spirit of the law" that shows up in 3.5 and in GURPS.
