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.

Title kinda says it all.

I have Foundry so that's sweet. Oh yeah, and don't be afraid to recommend me some obscure ones as well as popular ones.

Let's see... I like Star Wars, Appalachia, labor movement, Star Trek, the Pathfindner games by Owlcat, Warhammer 40k (syke! but I may get into it due to its increased popularity recently), Arthurian legends, Lord Dunsany, horror, foreign shit (like, foreign novels, foreign games, foreign everything), Chinese stuff, Chinese web novels, etc.

What else, what else... Pluto and other space shti? Eh, idk. Africa, non-European fantasy, noir, neurodiversity/autism, desert fantasy, weird fiction, Gothic literature, Nintendo, dwarves, Ottoman empire, pirates, tropical settings, OMORI, ASOIAF book series, Assassin's Creed (ig? back then, but i don't know about now as I haven't played the recent ones), history in general, sociology, Elden Ring, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, anything like the upcoming Dolmenwood TTRPG, and I guess anything like the Enclave TTRPG.

No to: more Viking shit (Viking shit seems to everywhere and I hate it), Orientalist two-dimensional shenanigans, "you can be the bad guys in this setting... even though they're technically the good guys now but with a dark aesthetic to them!," Numenera (I hated the video game), Game of Thrones TV show, zombies, Bethesda Game Studios, and, err, yeah, I'll leave it at that.

So yeah, now that you know what my interests are, how about I dox myself, yeah?

Okay, look down to see what I look like:

lol jk

Okay, gimme your recommendations, of any kind, but mostly of anything that might pique my interest (based on the, well, interests I posted above).

Well first of all, if you're OK with PDFs then you can get a lot of things for free you know?

Pathfinder 2e is, IMO, a better and very fun version of dnd, its a good run-of-the-mill d20 fantasy system with a setting that I enjoy quite a lot with increasing queer writing in it. And ALL the rules are free and easily found and used by going to 2e.aonprd.com/, the official PRD. Yes, aallllll the rules, updated suite quickly when new stuff comes out. Foundry pf2e has great support and very nice to use, and pathbuilder is a godsend for character creation.

There are so many cool and interesting systems to try out there and really you should try them, a lot of them are simple and easy to setup and you can easily get a one shot going to see if you want to keep going.

If you need any PF1 or PF2 PDFs, imu. And in general of you need any ttrpg PDFs of any kind, I'm pretty good at finding them (except the tiny Indy stuff that gets crowd funded, sometimes you can find it but its much harder)

I do want at least some physical copies. It's just not the same, you know? Without physical copies, I mean. And yes, I've consider Pathfinder 2e as well. Increasing queer writing in it? I like the sound of that. I'll save the link you gave me as well. What is Foundry pf2e, btw? And what does "imu" mean (I'm just curious)? Yeah, I could use all the Pathfinder 2e PDFs as I like to collect them, though I would like some physical copies too.

Also regarding the setting of Golarion and the increase in writing quality in second edition, check out for example the book "Knights of Lastwall" which has badass undead-fighting knights like Clarethe Iomedar (nonbinary) or their badass mother Kalabrynne Iomedar (trans woman) who's on the cover :

Another personal favourite is the minor god Alseta who is literally the god of transitions, including gender transitions : https://2e.aonprd.com/Deities.aspx?ID=30

There's a lot of little things that are gradually being added and the younger writers, designers and freelancers or Paizo are very queer.
