rpg ones both mmo and pnp. I wish the communities were here. I also wish orgs would run their own domains for their members. like the world science fiction society or local makerspaces.

I've tried to post a few things in the TTRPG communities and they rarely get many comments. It's disheartening.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

yeah I just a bit ago did a post that was sorta a life check. It really surprises me as I always thought of the communities as heavily geek which I would think would appeal to being here. I would expect by the time I came to something like this subjects like that would be well represented.

You'd think, wouldn't you? I suspect it's because we're mostly middle aged (or older) so we're not playing TTRPGs any more. But I am! And I demand posts!

What about !rpg@ttrpg.network which isn't the most active but exists, feel free to post content there.

And pretty sure there is a video game community too

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 3 days ago

Well as you say they are not active which is the part of the OP question "or become more active". No matter how active I am on them it will not replace a whole community being based someplace. Its like star trek online was on reddit but most champions online activity is in steam. It comes down to key individuals who are massively into the thing who create the guides and content basically. I hung out at these places but I was not a driver. Im 100% I would have never put in the time to figure out the torpedo math, that is for sure.
