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.

My big "hot take" is that D&D-gamergoblin-mindset has ruined the bulk of TTRPGS. There is so much more than fighting dudes and getting loot. It has also captured the form of fighting dudes and getting loot. There is more to gameplay than roll d20 to hit and roll for damage. There is more than one way to play these games and we should all be more open to more ways to play. It's like treating every anime like One Piece or reading every comic as an X-Men. Don't get me wrong One Piece and X-Men are solid, but there is more to the medium than those two respectively.
