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.

My very limited exposure to Werewolf: The Apocalypse gives me ecofashy vibes. How accurate is this? (hexbear.net)

Apparently there's a plot point that involves Gaia creating the Ratkin to eradicate humanity's "surplus population" through disease, which has some very uncomfortable implications, especially in the light of the gross indifference to human life that the ruling class has exhibited in the wake of Covid-19.

I realize this is hinged on a lot of assumptions (that this information is accurate in-universe and that Gaia, as the personification of the Earth, serves as a mouthpiece for the creators' environmentalist views), which is why I'm asking.

WtA is very weirdly fixated on a lot of such stuff, IMO. IDK about WtF.

By the way, have you taken a look at Exalted 3e and Exalted Essence?

On that topic, Exalted VS Old World of Darkness is a pretty fun one for the entire point of it being punching all that edgy bullshit in the fangs with shiny golden bullshit that can actually improve society somewhat. Or doubling down on the edgey power thematics, but not having to pay the awwwwwful price and be all mopey about being Killhard Soulshitter.

Killhard Soulshitter

Abyssals, arguably Infernals (they seem rather nice in Essence, though).
