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.

Playing OSR as “d&d but SUPER HARD” is playing OSR wrong. The whole point and only rule is to customize it to your table. It should be EASIER than D&D if your table needs it.
My favorite part of OSR is that it (usually) makes finding traps in a dungeon fun again. "I hit the tiles with a 10 ft pole, I summon a rat and send it into the hallway, I jam a piton into the doorway", etc vs just "i roll search, i roll disable device".
I love that part too but the customizability is definitely the winning factor.
