Video gaming or tabletop gaming?
For tabletop, I recently discovered "The Land of Eem" and it looks like the definition of "Cosy".
YouTube, Discord, it's all over the place. Described as "Lord of the Rings With Muppets".
Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
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.

Video gaming or tabletop gaming?
For tabletop, I recently discovered "The Land of Eem" and it looks like the definition of "Cosy".
YouTube, Discord, it's all over the place. Described as "Lord of the Rings With Muppets".
I'm a member of a Discord server like that. It's named Past Gen. This is the server's own introduction:
Welcome to Past Gen Gaming! We're a community of generally older, but mainly patient and relaxed gamers. There is no age requirement to join us, just the mindset. We won't tolerate elitism, toxicity, nor any form of hatred. A lot of us don't have a lot of free time, so when we do, we like it to be a good time. So sit back, relax, and let's play some games together.
Just let me know if you'd like an invitation link. If so, I would DM it to you instead of posting it publicly.
Could I also get an invite? Thanks!
DM sent!
Could I get an invite in DM, please?
DM sent!
I'd very much appreciate an invitation, thank you.
DM sent!
Hey can I get an invite too?
DM sent!
I hope you find this mythical place you speak of
It used to exist a long long time ago! It was the Club Penguin Rewritten Discord server! It was the most wholesome Discord Gaming server ever! But sadly that server was deleted shortly after Disney sent a cease and desist notice to the dev and made the UK Police arrest him when he didn't respond to that.
Best I found was a Discord server called "dads gaming". Rather than whiny youngsters, you get middle aged med who have little time for gaming, so they play casually and are happy to play with others who are also mediocre. I haven't used this for ages though.
I fit this description! Can I get an invite via DM, please?
I don't have invite permissions for the group I'm talking about and I found the channel on Reddit (back in the days when I used to be on there).
Having a look at Reddit now, there are still dad channels to be found: https://discord.gg/papasquad
Here's another one: https://discord.gg/h6PkhgPjRC
Happy for anyone interested to add me: https://discord.com/users/crazi_man
(UK timezone, very erratic and limited gaming hours)
Sounds lovely!
A lot of people are interested in what you're asking for. You could try making a server.
Not a discord server, but we have a (moderately active) cozygames community on the Threadiverse:
I'm off course already a part of that 🤩
Please let us know if you find one.
Beehaw’s probably your ticket
Can you elaborate? It's that the name of a server?
Beehaw is a Lemmy instance specifically oriented toward being cozy. Just suggesting a better resource for finding what you’re looking for
Understood, thanks!
