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.

I like the remastered dragons in general feel a bit more different than the color categorisation. Thank you for the advice.

___Am already planning on adding some things from AV extended, at least a trip to Absalom, as its right there and what's at stake after Otari. Still undecided on how to portrait Rajani, but the question will the party sacrifice an asshole to safe the day(themselves some trouble). Not sure if I want to go the add child to make sympathetic route from the extended versionadditional thing I just thought of
I didn't bother adding the child, in fact I didn't really change anything up until after he steals the sword - when they chased him to the smugglers cave I placed a bit more emphasis on backstory stuff like the sword being a physical connection to his family history and him trying to buy the sword back from the Menhemes in his pleading with them, and they decided they wanted to help him get the sword back legitimately rather than punish him - they convinced the mayor to let them hold onto the sword for safe keeping while helping Carmen stay sober and finding him more interesting work that made better use of his crafting skills than bashing out axes for the lumberers. They did stuff like mentioning around town that he made the equipment they used to defeat various terrors of the middle floors to rebuild his reputation in the town, and gave him additional emotional support after the Hellknight (nicely) asked him to kill himself. I rewrote his importance to the lighthouse, giving him additional motivation and reassurance, but even with him being a dick about everything at the start they found his backstory sympathetic enough to try and make him a better person.spoilers
That's fair, one of my party is a Hellknight so for him stopping an army from invading Otari in exchange for a single soul was a no-brainer even with the morality pet angle. Eventually him and the rest of party came to a compromise that they'd just ask him nicely to sacrifice his soul to unknown eternal torments at the hand of a devil, and not push it if he declined. He turned them down so they did it the hard way, but the Hellknight still spent a lot of the floor requesting they go back and ask again.
