Traveller / Cepheus Engine? (ttrpg.network)

One game I’ve recently adopted is Traveller, but I haven’t found a lemmy community yet.

I’m trying to decide if it’s worth creating a community but I’m no expert and I don’t think I’d be able to contribute more than a couple of posts.

Sure, I’ll probably have several questions no doubt, but would there be anyone to answer them?

Anyone here would be interested?

Alternatively, is it worth creating a potential “ghost town” community?

Update: Alas, I ended up creating !scifi@ttrpg.network instead.

Might be worth starting in c/RPG with basic questions, and if they end up drumming up a lot of conversation maybe a community is warranted? I know traveller has been around a long time, but I don't ever hear too much about it so I'd guess the community for it is pretty niche

    It’s… weird. There seems to be a lot of people who play it, but you’re right: we don’t hear much about it.

    There’s a Discord server (not a fan of Discord myself, I get lost easily) with tons of users (and many publishers) very much active. Even r/Traveller has decent traffic (but r/cepheusengine not so much). There’s a relatively active T5 community at MeWe as well.

    Maybe most players are happy to use Discord. Aaaand maybe I should be asking over there if there would be people interested.

    Not sure I’d be able to contribute all that much to Traveller. But perhaps expand your horizons a bit and create a c/SciFiRPG community?

    That thought has crossed my mind. At first I thought it might be too broad, but now I'm thinking otherwise.

    Maybe Lemmy isn't as big (yet) as I initially thought.
