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.

We've had threads on how D&D itself has a colonial mindset, but I think that undersells how fucked up and racist players can be. I want this thread to be about players who go out of their way to make characters that break the fourth wall and ruin friendships outside of the game.

I'll start: I had a player come to me with their character: "Gucci, the rapping goblin bard". The details were what you would expect. Like he literally put a picture of Gucci Mane in the chat. I told him that this was blackface and I wouldn't allow it. He had a tantrum about being called racist, and now we no longer speak (lol).

No, I'm being genuine, and yeah in person. Not in costume thankfully, but yeah it was a pretty aggressive caricature. He had also been doing this kinda thing, but it was mostly cringe uncomfortable and less extreme.

Like did he try to sound like a cartoonish black gangster or something?

yeah, that was the premise and central 'joke' of the character.

Ah I see. That makes sense now. Initially I assumed he just had a picture and that was it. Yeah I’d definitely drop his ass

Nah lol, he had like half a page of 'disses' that he wanted to use with vicious mockery
