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.

hmmmm
Skyrim is just D&D run through several filters of weirdo game designers and then corpo game designers trying to reel in the weird
Math is just D&D disguised as school
primary maths teachers should run a pseudo campaign amongst their students
That would be an interesting curriculum section but the freaks would just say it’s satanic then seem all maths to be evil
See the trick to this is to get people to play games where it's so hard to calculate the odds of success that they stop looking at the numbers and start vibing. Basically anything with dice pools works.
And then there's pathfinder with the agregious sacred geometry feat https://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/sacred-geometry/
The math in D&D is much simpler than comparing item pricing in the supermarket.
D&D only requires addition, sometimes substraction (if you have low stats), and multiplication or division by 2 or 4.
3e/3.5e was a great basic algebra course, but 5e is what you get after you hit yourself in the head with a hammer.
D&D now barely qualifies as math. There isn't even any division. That said, really good at getting people to understand statistics.
Fun fact, RAW sqrt(2)=1.5
