Whither Reddit? In the meantime, here’s a place to chat up old school revival (OSR) and new school revolution (NSR) style TTRPGs.
My name is Todd aka Hexed Press and I am the current caretaker (have I always been the caretaker?). Here are some other places to find me, if you are so inclined:

@kensanata@lemm.eei the reason why on reddit I did not hang out "generic" rpg spaces is because by sheer volume DnD 5e players dominate the conversation, and a large part of the DnD 5e conversation (at least on reddit) seems to focus on mechanics optimization, meta, and very DnD-specific things I am not interested about.
OSR/NSR/Indie spaces are more interesting for someone like me that prefers talking about adventuring, and the less boardgame-y or MMO-y aspects of the game.
To clarify: I have zero elitism or gatekeeping feelings towards DnD 5e, it's a good game that opened up the hobby to many many people, and it's a blessing, however I like having a space where to talk about rpgs that are not it.
