Chris Trottier I always had a heavy sigh for the old “you’d never have survived the MW2 lobby” line, but it’s clear that many of these guys wouldn’t have survived basic chatrooms back in the day. Or at least, they would have found themselves very quickly banned from them.

Is it just me, or do the bulk of “no Trump” complainers on the Fediverse happen to be white dudes from Australia—living literally on the other side of the world from the USA -
Recommended Modules?comicalmayhem@lemmy.world Crown of the Kobold King might be your best bet. It does assume some system knowledge and general TTRPG knowledge, though.
Rusthenge is more beginner friendly, but doesn’t really play with classic fantasy environments.
Season of Ghosts is considered to be one of the best adventures, but I think it runs a little long for you, and, again, isn’t set in a classic western fantasy setting. It’s very beginner friendly, though.
Sky King’s Tomb is a Dwarven adventure that’s well reviewed. It’s apparently somewhat combat heavy. It’s not specifically written with newbies in mind, so it’s going to assume some passing familiarity with TTRPGs and the system to some extent.

Multiple people "reported" me for this post showing a screenshot of Donald Trump literally comparing himself to Jesus Christ.Chris Trottier I have some pretty far-out-there hopes for how I’d like to see the fesiverse structured, which will never be realized baased on discussions I’ve had, but which seem so obviously necessary. These hopes revolve around an instance-first framework, focusing on instance-as-community, which includes having the Local feed as the default for most fedi sites.
This is one of the key reasons why. There’s a pretty wild entitlement people seem to have over what rules, social or formal, are expected on fedi, even though it is an informal, opt-in, subscription based network. Ensuring your first point of contact each day is set to the same baseline as you radically changes the expectations, as does viewing your instance as a website and as the primary mediator in your interactions, rather than just a neutral conduit to “Mastodon”.
But, alas, the idea of the content network, rather than the omni-app,seems anathema to people these days.

Multiple people "reported" me for this post showing a screenshot of Donald Trump literally comparing himself to Jesus Christ.neoluddite The thing is, you don’t really get to control what other people post to their own website. The control you have here is over who you follow. Expecting others to obey your own personal rules doesn’t really fly, and repporting people for not obeying them is petty censorship.
“I don’t want to see this” is a conversation you get to have with yourself.

The horror of Age Verification is arriving in Canada 🚨🇨🇦Alpha Male Martha Stewart 🍉🌈 These maassive, highly profitable companies should also be doing their part in actually moderating their platforms, or they should no longer have platforms.
Moderated social media on smaller websites is what many of us grew up with, and it is manageable. Facebook, Twitter and Reddit just don’t want to do the job, so they shouldn’t have the privilege of hosting such platforms. This is just an attempt to shielld them from their responsibilities to their users.

A lot of liberals want to make it illegal for kids to be sad online and talk to their only friends (also online) about it rather than try to make the world someplace worth living in.What they don’t like is that the solution is active moderation, and that’s too expensive for these stupidly large platforms to make a profit off of. So, they’d rather you be sad alone than Meta have to pay someone to protect its users.

I can't believe I got temp banned from RPG.net for using the word "barbarian" in a D&D thread.Strangething Oh, that would piss me off something awful. I’ve both received and issued my fair share of “time-out” bans, but they have to come with an explanation. Even if that explanation is “I don’t have time to deall with all of this right now, but this fighting is getting unfriendly. We’ll have a chat after you’ve all had a break”.
