Lol, someone loves the taste of boots

That, the monospace font, and the heart button which seems to be identical to the upvote button, are all changes I am not a fan of. Otherwise it’s not bad.

If you are sleeping so heavily that you sleep through your alarm every time, you probably aren’t getting enough sleep. Go to bed earlier.

15 minutes well spent

I’ve heard they may actually be the ancestor breed of corgis

I’m a bit sick of how there are only like 9 bios in all the dating apps. This one is number 6. No creativity, no information about yourself, just copy something funny you saw somewhere.

Maybe ask them if they will let you post a bulletin in the store?

How about your posts on other boards that are explicitly for LFG (you mentioned posting on Reddit)? Did you see any responses there?

I really wish the ttrpg.network munis were more consolidated in general. It seems like the ubiquity of lemmy.world has made it hard for other instances to carve out a niche

• Players assume their own identities rather than fictional characters.
• Gameplay is set in the players’ real-world locations, reimagined post-apocalypse.

Sounds like a neat idea. The self-insert aspect is interesting, but I wonder if it would limit the kinds of stories you could tell. How is character creation handled? Is it considered mandatory to create a character based on yourself, or is it simply a fun suggestion?

Also, how does the “gameplay is set in the player’s real world locations” thing work? Does that mean it’s harder to play online with people who are far apart? Does the game balance change if played by a group in a rural/urban/suburban/industrial environment? Or is it again simply a fun suggestion? These sound like neat ideas for making the game seem more unique and immersive, but I’m having trouble imagining how they would actually work in a way that would stay fun to play over and over again.

Yeah, you could make it the “traditional/tabletop games” thread, in the spirit of the divide between eg. /tg/ and /v/ on ye olde 4chan

No. But I’d comment with some of said communities in the gaming thread

Maybe broaden “video games” to just “games” to let the board gamers, TTRPG-ers, and CCG-ers post about their stuff as well. Right now I feel like those don’t have a great bucket in the categories there.

I have visited shops to find them full of Magic and other TCG players, but no role-players

Did you ask the people behind the counter at your LGS if they do TTRPG groups?

I have posted on relevant socials and Discords like the Discord server for a game store, local area RPG players Discord and FB pages, LFG groups on reddit and Lemmy and Discord

If you’ve done all that and you’re still not getting any bites as a GM looking for players, I’m inclined to think there is something wrong with your pitch that is turning people off. Usually GMs looking for players have the problem of too many players being interested. Maybe it’s because you’re looking for pen and paper players as opposed to an online group? Are there any unusual requirements you’ve put forth in your posts on these communities?

Some people might be a bit nervous about playing in-person with a totally new group. Perhaps you could offer playing online virtually with people in your local area first, and then if you all vibe, you could meet in-person after that.

Dead link for me

Patreon allowed you to limit how many creations you would pay for in a month

As a forever DM, this is pretty real. I try to always hear my players when they tell me they had fun and take it to heart.

You’re always your own worst critic.

If you were to walk this route along the surface of the earth, you would walk in perfectly straight lines apart from the three turns.

Moose do actually cow. They are incredibly scary and imposing.
