Of course, it may not help that the *text* of OPs on Lemmy don't render on Mastodon so you have to actually follow the link.

We have a public matrix channel for all Blahaj users at [#blahaj:chat.blahaj.zone](https://matrix.to/#/#blahaj:chat.blahaj.zone) We also have a matrix channel for gender diverse folk and our allies! If you're already a matrix user, you can head straight to our application room https://matrix.to/#/#gv-apply:chat.blahaj.zone, or by searching for #gv-apply:chat.blahaj.zone from within your matrix client.

Examples of behaviour that are contrary to this philosophy are personal attacks, insults, doxing etc. If your comment is designed to hurt someone, this isn't the space for it. *Inclusion and Acceptance* Embracing inclusion and acceptance means listening when people tell you who they are and what their needs are. It means not telling people that you know their experiences better than they do. It means not gatekeeping experiences of identities of others. It means no bigotry such as racism, sexism, anti LGBT commentary, ableism etc. It means doing your best to ensure that you don't over-talk the voices of folk who don't share your privileges. **Supporting Blåhaj Piefed** After much hesitation, [we have a Ko Fi](https://ko-fi.com/blahajzone) to enable people to help with supporting some of the running costs associated with our instances.

I’m never going to learn. I come across this kind of obtuseness painfully often in rpg discussions, and I’m always – and I mean always – caught off guard by it. I just expect TTRPG fans to be into things like world building and the deeper questions of setting, and they keep telling me that the only thing they’re cognizant of is stat blocks and rules interactions.
To the point where I’ve been told that everything but grid-based combat and roll resolutions is just empty set dressing.
I’ve come to, but seem incapable of holding on to, the conclusion that most TTRPG fans just want an XCOM game they can bully in order to get their way.
Which is a shame, because Jürgen Hubert has a lot of interesting things to say on RPG settings, and the stories that inspire and underpin them, and having almost everyone completely talk past the prompt was disheartening.
