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.

How do you like it? I was hoping a community as sufficiently nerdy as the ttrpg community would have made an open source alternative by now but it looks like selfhosting proprietary software with a modding platform is as close as we can get.

I ran a campaign of the Unofficial Elder Scrolls RPG that someone had developed a working module for on it. I liked Foundry, the ability to get plugins easy was pretty helpful and cool. Things like staircase teleporters, pins that can take a player to different scenes, and an almighty calendar. When I tried a in-person Foundry-assisted little campaign this year, I think it worked out well having my tower on a big screen as a player, my cheapo laptop as the GM, and any other devices my players brought.

Unfortunately, self-hosting is too much trouble for myself so I had to go through a service (The Forge) to host. At that point I had to pay for a service anyways, but it was the only way to get a working UESRPG game going.
