I might be wrong but I’m 90% sure the Shadowrun (ttrpg) community was on this instance. Now I can’t find it anywhere (cross-instance community search doesn’t find it too) and I can see in my profile that my posts sent there disappeared too.
Was the community closed? I couldn’t find this info in the modlog
s that most of the content is focused on D&D/Medieval/High Fantasy that I’m not really interested in.
Which is why we need more contents focusing on other RPG :)
IMO , at the moment, the people on lemmy should focus on keeping a few communities active rather than having thousands of micro communities with 5 posts a year.
Maybe you’re right
I just wish content creators would start marking that they’re going to write something D&D-specific, as they do with other systems. Very often the title and first paragraph looks like “general GM piece” only to turn to “5E stats” (as if there was only one 5E in the world) in the second one
Regarding Shadowrun itself, I’m interested in Lore discussions, GM discussions not about the mechanics (i e. “how do I portray Johnny Spinrad hiring our group? Tee Hee turned out wrong”), reviews of campaign/mission books, etc
I’m also interested in general GMing content like the “onion plots”, “lazy gm” approach or “how to do combat like a dolphin”
Since you chose that comment to ask your question, I’ll expand on what I’m complaining about.
Content I have problem with is a title that sounds like it might be the general advice but then suddenly “this monster has the following stats, so that’s how you put it against your players in a smart way”. It’s great that it exists and I’m sure anyone playing D&D can take a lot from articles like this. But it’s of no use for me and from my perspective there’s a lot of content like this.
Hence in general I tend to avoid the “general RPG” spaces because most of the links I find there turn out to be not for me, and only after I start reading. And I get it that it might sound over the top that I complain about needlessly reading a paragraph or two. But with the amount of backlog that I have, the proportions of what topics interest me vs those which don’t and the rate at which unread content grows - yes, every click counts for me
