there are some, but they tend to quickly become spam and nazi instances. I'm guessing even those ones defederate from the instances that only serve malware though

Hi everyone! I was born in Canada, live in the US, and Asian and mixed race. I'm generally a little vague about my real world identity online though beyond that. You can find me here on Mastodon: https://dice.camp/@seedling although it's basically all my TTRPG stuff.

oh I hadn't thought of doing that, but that's a great idea!

I really like Mastodon, so much so that I have several accounts for different purposes. You do need to invest a bit of time into following a good number of people who post stuff you like, though. I was pretty active on Twitter and now I'm pretty active on Mastodon and I like Mastodon better, but I had to spend a little time searching hashtags for people posting cool stuff.

One thing that I haven't seen anyone mention is moderation - your experience will be better with a well-moderated, well-run server, otherwise you'll have issues with spam and maybe worse. Generally a medium-sized server based around a subject of interest or a geographic location works well, where the admins are actively involved in the community.

I really like it, although I keep it to people I know IRL. I'm considering making a TTRPG-specific public one though, does anyone know if books absolutely need to have an ISBN to work with that system?

One thing that I really like about it, vs say Goodreads or any site that is tied to a corporate bookselling system, is that you can use a rating system that works for you, using the full 1 to 5 stars, without worrying that you are causing financial harm to any authors, especially if you keep everything followers-only

I want to play Wanderhome, but one issue with it is I want someone who really understands how that style of play works to play it with me. I'm very intrigued by the game but can't quite wrap my head around how it actually goes at the table.

Next on my to play list is Reach of the Roach God but the issue there is scheduling: I have an existing weekly campaign and struggle to find time for a second campaign-length module.

I also want to play Gubat Banwa, I might try the solo rules, but I also have a massive backlog of solo games I want to try.

Hi everyone! I didn't actually use Reddit much, but all of a sudden everyone on Mastodon started talking about Lemmy and I thought I'd check it out.

I'll mostly use this account to talk about TTRPG stuff and the creative interests that I have around that, since this is the name I generally go by online when I talk about those things. I've managed to accumulate a lot of neglected hobbies - I'm trying to get better at drawing, I'm very much a self-taught beginner at linocut printing, I've dabbled in bookbinding and want to do more. In terms of TTRPGs I like a bit of everything, especially on the indie side, but lately I've been most interested in Into the Odd style rules light games and solo games.
