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.

MODERATORS
I like to use the CATS method:
C - Content. What is the game/campaign going to be about (in general). What are the themes that you want to touch on?
A - Aim. What are the players trying to accomplish? How will you know when you've reached a satisfactory conclusion?
T - Tone. What is the overall tone of the game? Is it serious or light-hearted? Gritty or gonzo?
S - Safety. How will you make sure that everyone has a good time, and that you avoid re-traumatizing content? What topics should be avoided altogether or treated gingerly (Lines and Veils). How will players signal that you need to stop the game and resolve an issue if they feel uncomfortable to express that verbally (X-Card/Script Change.)
The goal is to have a consensus on all these topics.
Thanks, that's a great idea! One of my players is a very supportive and very experienced GM, and specifically mentioned Lines and Veils (especially due to the system being Mothership, though it's useful everywhere). Thanks! Will keep that in mind.
