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.

Thinking about it, my perspective on power requirements is probably quite skewed atm - I started using it about 4 editions ago, when there were some particularly bad problems with loading times, but it has gotten noticably faster a several times over the past few years. Loading times when I was on a broadband connection could stretch into a couple of minutes for some players, but now I'm on fibre it's just the one guy with shitty internet that suffers that. With just a GM and map display I can't really imagine you'll be doing enough to cause problems.
If you do need to speed things up, small worlds help a lot, along with limited extra modules. A world is mostly made up of scenes (maps), actors (PCs, NPCs) and items (nearly everything else) - smaller, lower resolution maps help a lot, but so does regularly clearing out unused actors and items. If you need to go back to them intermittently, compendia will let you store all 3 on your hard drive, so the game won't try to immediately load it all, but you can still access it and load it in quickly if you need to.
