!dungeoncrawlers@piefed.blahaj.zone
Hello, I made this community as a place for a subset of RPGs that usually end up in the shadow of more popular open-world RPGs, JRPGs and Souls-likes.
My definition of dungeon crawlers (that’s, admittedly, stretching the definition a bit), is as follows:
- it takes place in a confined space (doesn’t need to be a literal dungeons!),
- it puts a strong emphasis on combat and looting,
- and it offers little to no story.
This includes a broad variety of games and genres, such as:
- Blobbers (first-person party-based RPGs like Dungeon Master)
- Traditional roguelikes with procgen, permadeath and one controllable character, e.g. Nethack
- Some ARPGs like Diablo and King’s Field
- Many unconventional indie titles like Osteoblasts, Ruadine or Divers (UFO 50 game)
And there are definitely other notable examples that I forgot to mention!
My hope is that the community is broad enough to find its audience here but not too broad! Lemmy would really benefit from more focused communities I think.
If ttrpg.network doesn’t seem suitable to you, I can create a community on level-up.zone and make you a moderator.
level-up zone seems pretty dead to me, there’s only one mod who I have no experience with, and I don’t think moving a new community around is a good idea in general - it will just confuse people.
I’ll stay on blahaj zone for a foreseeable future.
It’s not dead, it’s in a catch-22. It’s not open to users, so there is no way (yet) for users to create communities there without going through me. I want to find a solution for this on this summer so that I don’t become a bottleneck.
That would be me. I’m the one running the topic-specific instances. Nice to meet you.
