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.

They aren't really. I mostly adlib from a basic skeleton scenario, and they aren't crazy murderhobos, so they tend towards peaceful resolution to a lot of problems and most of them don't really care about combat, preferring interesting exploration.
But that's one of the in-setting advantages to the generic-ish fantasy landscape (in this case, a rough mishmash of GURPS fantasy settings and Invisible Cities), the ability of organisations to monitor territory is sharply limited, and the primary enemy comes from dungeon locations that have no force projection or allies.
Oh, wait, actually the Swashbuckler is having a tough time - they're an agile unarmoured type, and every time they do their thing and charge at the biggest monster to effortlessly stab it in the eyes they get a really unlucky Dodge roll and are one-shot into the ground.
Skill issue, should've taken Luck. (I once had a PC Luck a defense roll and crit fail all 3 times)
Yeah, she has Luck - but gets unlucky almost every roll. She's a good sport about it though, and I pointed her towards Ultimate Slayer Eye Stabbing Whatever, so theoretically when the dice align things will go hilariously well.
Actually she might have a Dancing Shield we've all forgotten about... random loot generation can be quite generous.
