Hey all!

We are happy to announce the grand opening of our first Official /c/dnd Networked Communities!

Some of you may have already noticed the links in the sidebar as they have been soft launched for a few days to set up their rules and welcome posts.

DnD - Art

  • A community for Dungeons and Dragons Art posts, both OC and linked content of other artists both official and unofficial.

DM Academy

  • A community for discussion, questions, tools, or advice regarding being a Dungeon Master (or Game Master) for Dungeons and Dragons or RPG’s in general

DnD - Homebrew

created by @owenfromcanada@lemmy.world and officially brought into our network

  • A community to share and workshop your DnD homebrew. Feats, classes, subclasses, races, items, pretty much everything is welcome.

DnD - Memes

  • A community for Dungeons and Dragons Memes and Comics

DnD - AI

  • A community for the discussion of the use of Artificial Intelligence when playing Dungeons and Dragons.

DnD - Looking for Group

  • A community for those looking for a group to play DnD with.

The reason for networking these communities together is that we can keep them in the same general style, have the same rules, and coordinated moderation across each community.

Please read the sidebar of each individual community! As always we will keep allowing regular posting here at DnD and will be guiding users in the comments to where their post may be a better fit.

We will be adding additional communities as needed and if any users have ideas for communities let us know.

There's also a lemmy instance TTRPG.network, as well as an instance dedicated to Pathfinder and Starfinder pathfinder.social

[–] dumples@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Seems odd to not have these on the TTRPG.network. A single use instance will be more convenient instead of coming to lemmy.world

[–] plethora@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I believe !dnd on Lemmy.world existed prior to ttrpg.network. Sometimes you just make stuff where the people already are.

[–] FaceDeer@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm wary of putting all eggs under just one set of admins, on one server.

[–] dumples@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Star Trek did it. It's great to have a single dedicated spot. It's better to unify as we start up then split.

[–] FaceDeer@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not saying it can't be done, I'm saying it shouldn't be done.

We just saw lemmy.world collapse in ruin from a hack, for example. It came back quickly, but if it hadn't and all of the TTRPG communities had been there it would have been quite a mess to recover from.

I think it's ok to have themed instances. People are still free to create communities on other ones, even if they're similar topics. No one is saying ALL ttrpg has to be ONLY one roof. I help admin an instance that's devoted only to sci-fi and fantasy communities (any media) but only those themes. Some of the communities we have also exist elsewhere and that's the great thing about the fediverse.

[–] FaceDeer@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No one is saying ALL ttrpg has to be ONLY one roof.

That was what I interpreted dumbles' objection to be, he didn't like that these communities weren't on TTRPG.network.

To be clear, I'm not opposed to "themed" instances. I just don't think it's bad to have communities scattered around on other instances as well as that.

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

people are free to go to these places and make their own communities. It wont be me as I am here on .world and as stated above !dnd has been on .world before ttrpg network existed

[–] fax_of_the_shadow@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Ah yeah, that makes sense.

[–] fax_of_the_shadow@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

for some reason I can't get anything to come up when I click your pathfinder link. And typing the web address in gets me a 404 error.

[–] dumples@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think they are down. I could subscribe via Kbin magazine search but not go through the website

[–] fax_of_the_shadow@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

that's what I ended up doing, searching via kbin magazine search. Weird. I'd like to see the entre instance in case there are other communities not shown here.

[–] dumples@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

From Kbin you can subscribe to entire instances. So you should be able to do that.

[–] fax_of_the_shadow@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, not sure I want ALL of them for subscriptions, I just wanted to see what else they had in case I did want to subscribe. I'm sure it will be back up eventually and I can go check.

[–] Xathonn@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah it's weird the made other stuff not on that. Just gonna stick to the official ones on ttrpg.network

Thank you, but that is not what this post is for. These are our communities here as a part of this network and on .world
