Imagine the world is full of amazing board games, you go to whatever bookstore and half the board game selection is amazing looking stuff you've never played, but your friends only want to play this weird card game that combines the monotony of Mad Libs with the gatekeeping cliquishness and alienation of trivia games.

I mean, it probably that card games are generally cheaper and quicker to learn than a lot of the bigger board games. Cards you can whip out at any get together and people pick it up pretty fast. But try and pull that shit with Twilight Imperium.

There is a huge variety of card games that are easy to pick up, not vapid, and not purely a word game.

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.
