Hey guys, I am a little disappointed that there aren't more comments and more engagement in the group. Does anyone have any cool spacecraft designs? Great weapons? Game ideas? Questions? Let us know.

I think it’s just because Lemmy (and the fediverse) doesn’t yet have a critical mass.

Before creating !scifi@ttrpg.network I was thinking about creating a community for Traveller alone. But I decided to poll several other places beforehand. Not a lot of people showed interest. That’s why I decided to create a more general community.

I share your need for activity. I really do. I just don’t have much to offer. At least at the moment. I’ve been dabbling with mapmaking lately, but I’m not prolific enough. I have plans, oh yes, quite a few ideas brewing and bubbling, but nothing to show. Yet.

It’s very common, expected really, to have many more consumers than producers in any social network. But I’m still here. And I’d bet a few more are also around. Lurking? (I love that word when used so casually)

We’re listening.

I appreciate your map posts and for taking the time to ask for input before making sci-fi. I feel like splitting Traveller off was unnecessary given the amount of traffic but I suppose to each their own.

I understand it's a niche hobby on a niche platform (Lemmy in general) so it's not a huge surprise there aren't a lot of people posting. But I am surprised by the comparative volume of meme posts on TTRPG.network. It's almost all meme posts and comments. Clearly people are happy to engage in that way, but not elsewhere. I don't get it.
