[Traveller Renaissance] Post on RPG.net

[robject]

It's a HUGE board, but there are some Traveller-related threads there that might interest you.

Consider posting there as a way to promote what you like about Traveller.

But put on your thick skin, it is not a 'kinder and gentler' place.

 

[Blue Ghost]

I see five different Traveller threads there.

Now, back to cleaning and writing...sigh

QFT. It's no TheRPGSite.com, but the moderation staff is alternating between psychotic and enabling flaming and trolling.

RPG.net? No way, man! Game over!
It's like a shooting gallery there, and I had a target pinned to my trousers.

Does seem a bit wild 'n wooly there, and the lack of nearly any search capability (tags only) is rough.

Obviously, you've never been to TheRPGSite. o:

Honestly, if you can stand the flames and trolling, TheRPGSite has got some of the best tabletop RPG conversation anywhere. Just know that it is the Mos Eisley cantina of forums. Makes the old Political Pulpit look tame by comparison. The Pundit believes in free speech, and it shows.

But there is a sizeable Traveller friendly community there.

The thing you have to understand about RPGnet and its Moderation policy is that it is designed to create an emotionally safe space and to minimize disruption, to the point where actual discussion of certain subjects is absolutely forbidden. Not a good place for an honest conversation.

Yes, the mods at RPGnet are psychos. Stopped going there a couple years ago.

At TheRPGSite you can win a debate against a Mod without getting banned.

Both aramis and I are frequent contributors on RPGGeek. The Traveller community is still small, but the forums are very friendly.

I tried to find some games at RPG.net and the Boston community promptly disappeared on me.

Therpgsite is very good if a bit hardnosed.

I'm a long, long standing RPG.Net member (13, 14 years?), and I like it alot. Keep calm, don't draw your gun and be prepared to walk away from a fight. The benefits of picking the brains of so many roleplayers on RPG.Net is GOLD. Just like COTI, there is so much to read here that is useful, thought-provoking and stimulating ...

Accepted as a personal challenge, I visited TheRPGSite ... my second post drew my first personal attack ... apparently I "obviously missed the bus on RPG's."

It is not for the faint-hearted. What is your handle on there?

EDIT: I found the exchange.

just in case anyone else wondered, I am atpollard (short for Arthur T. Pollard) everywhere that I post ... it reminds me that I am not anonymous on the internet, so I don't type anything that I wouldn't say in person.

The exchange, like the topic, mostly amused me.
