Day 5 of #RPGaDAY2021 and I roll another '4' for 'Community'.
This is another one that lends itself to controversy as I don't like where a lot of the current TTRPG community is going. To keep it positive, I do remember a time when gaming really did feel like a community or even a refuge from the world, but alas it doesn't feel like the hobby we have today...at least not in the 'macro' as the kids say. These issues are well documented, so no need to go into great detail. Luckily, in the 'micro' there are still a lot of positive things happening. I'm all for the OSR, the indy publishers and Kickstarter creators who are trying their best to #keepgamingfantasy even if they're often using the same engine that fuels "the world's most popular role-playing game'. At times these groups almost feel like a community unto themselves a remnant that is holding the line and that I'm happy to be a part of.
