That, the monospace font, and the heart button which seems to be identical to the upvote button, are all changes I am not a fan of. Otherwise it’s not bad.

15 minutes well spent
I’ve heard they may actually be the ancestor breed of corgis
Maybe ask them if they will let you post a bulletin in the store?
How about your posts on other boards that are explicitly for LFG (you mentioned posting on Reddit)? Did you see any responses there?
I really wish the ttrpg.network munis were more consolidated in general. It seems like the ubiquity of lemmy.world has made it hard for other instances to carve out a niche
- Players assume their own identities rather than fictional characters.
- Gameplay is set in the players’ real-world locations, reimagined post-apocalypse.
Sounds like a neat idea. The self-insert aspect is interesting, but I wonder if it would limit the kinds of stories you could tell. How is character creation handled? Is it considered mandatory to create a character based on yourself, or is it simply a fun suggestion?
Also, how does the “gameplay is set in the player’s real world locations” thing work? Does that mean it’s harder to play online with people who are far apart? Does the game balance change if played by a group in a rural/urban/suburban/industrial environment? Or is it again simply a fun suggestion? These sound like neat ideas for making the game seem more unique and immersive, but I’m having trouble imagining how they would actually work in a way that would stay fun to play over and over again.
!osr@lemmy.world (Inactive, but I’d love to see this one get some new activity, I just started getting into more OSR stuff recently)
Yeah, you could make it the “traditional/tabletop games” thread, in the spirit of the divide between eg. /tg/ and /v/ on ye olde 4chan
No. But I’d comment with some of said communities in the gaming thread
Maybe broaden “video games” to just “games” to let the board gamers, TTRPG-ers, and CCG-ers post about their stuff as well. Right now I feel like those don’t have a great bucket in the categories there.
I have visited shops to find them full of Magic and other TCG players, but no role-players
Did you ask the people behind the counter at your LGS if they do TTRPG groups?
I have posted on relevant socials and Discords like the Discord server for a game store, local area RPG players Discord and FB pages, LFG groups on reddit and Lemmy and Discord
If you’ve done all that and you’re still not getting any bites as a GM looking for players, I’m inclined to think there is something wrong with your pitch that is turning people off. Usually GMs looking for players have the problem of too many players being interested. Maybe it’s because you’re looking for pen and paper players as opposed to an online group? Are there any unusual requirements you’ve put forth in your posts on these communities?
Some people might be a bit nervous about playing in-person with a totally new group. Perhaps you could offer playing online virtually with people in your local area first, and then if you all vibe, you could meet in-person after that.
I’m a big fan of this game. It’s tactically deep and can be fairly punishing while also being whimsical and silly. And I love the fact that encounters can be resolved with or without violence. The characters are all dripping with personality and it has a fun sort of globetrotting vibe.
I ran “The Haunting of Ypsilon 14”. It’s a solid adventure, though the reason for the players to stay and help is a bit thin. Once the players realized that something spooky was going on, they all were like “why wouldn’t we just leave?” I came up with something plausible enough for them to justify continuing to play, but they told me afterward that aspect was a bit immersion breaking. The actual scenario though was very effective at spooking them.
I played online using this micro vtt, since my gaming group is not physically nearby. I just used pdfs for the rules and the module itself. The one-page adventure format was surprisingly easy to run.
That explains why in the movie Predator, you can hear the crunch of Doritos right before it attacks.
Fun fact: you get more accurate info by simply running man hier
It’s entirely possible to use, enjoy, and benefit from Linux while also using proprietary software. Your attitude only hurts the reputation and adoption of Linux by perpetuating the notion that you’re either all-in or else you’re out. Your idea of “Linux the lifestyle” is a fantasy.
In other words, RTFM
That sounds very useful if you ever plan to bring your dog on a roller coaster
Lol, someone loves the taste of boots
