Title: Cannot understand discord, pls send help (or FB, etc.)
Post by: Eric Diaz on September 20, 2022, 11:30:31 AM
Are there any good OSR communities out there? Anywhere I can meet people interested in OSR/RPGs, AND/Or share my stuff (blog, products)?

Or should I check other social media?

I dislike FB, MeWe is good but has too few people (join if you like OSR stuff), Reddit has a decent OSR community. What else is there?

Man, I miss G+.

Pedantic Gaming is the one Server I know that has a decent size.

The Autarch discord server for Adventurer Conqueror King has a pretty great community.

This discord doesn't treat people differently based on their political beliefs:
https://discord.gg/5UQtTC7a
It's really inactive now and looking for life.  It's a general boardgame Discord group, but RPG talk is just as welcome.
This link will be good until 9/27/22.  If it's expired and you want to join, send me a message.

Do you have the exact name of it?

I don't but you should be able to find it on the Autarch webpage or in their forums.  If not, I'll post it when I get home from work.

Thanks for all the answers! Just FYI, I am looking for something OSR-oriented. As I see, there are three "big groups" of RPG players:

- D&D 5e/6e
- Indie games
- OSR

Although many people fall into more than one camp (I published 5e and OSR stuff, for example), and before D&D I only played indie stuff), I feel that more and more I'm only interested in OSR stuff.

Right, so you're looking for an OSR only server, that's not tied to a company. Not sure if such a thing exists. Maybe someone should make one if it doesn't.

There is always the Piazza https://www.thepiazza.org.uk/bb/index.php (https://www.thepiazza.org.uk/bb/index.php) for D&D type stuff mostly. Some of the old legends still post there,

I found a few, not sure if they are any good: Tenkar's, OSR, NSR Cauldron. I don't even know how to link them properly, but feel free to say hi on discord or let me know if you want an invitation.

Tenkar's is pretty good, but as I recall it's gotten fairly expansive so can be a bit hard to jump around to relevant parts.  Of course I only visit infrequently, so it could be that if you're there often enough it's easy to keep track of the new stuff.
