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.

iirc 3e switched to all female pronouns. Don't remember what 4e/5e didVampire the Masquerade also uses all female pronouns
Skimming through the 5e book online now, to describe building your character they use the perspective of a fictional player 'Bob' and use he/him for that section, but generally uses non gendered language or "he or she", as in "Class broadly describes a character's vocation, what special talents he or she possesses..." I don't get why 'they' isn't the default in place of 'he or she'.
At least the male pronouns aren't directed at the reader and instead at a fictional male character.
