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?
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.
I’ll tell you, the RPG groups on lemmy tend to be very fantasy focused. It would be awesome to have a space for sci-fi. I’ll be glad to help you nurture it.
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
i had an original box set when i was a kid. it was still a new game then. haven’t touched it in at least (ahem. damn, they pile on fast) 40 years.
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.
