New around here? Want to introduce yourself? Here's a thread! Or if that whole practice makes you want to disappear, uh...Make someone up, or introduce your pet instead!

Whatever floats your boat, and hey, if you have a boat, introduce that boat!

Oh, and before I forget (again), I've written a relatively brief FAQ to help folks find their way around here.

Wow it's crazy having an intro thread - it's like a forum from 25 years ago! I love Lemmy feeling quite small and welcoming like this, awesome.

I am in the UK, have followed through various platforms since the 90s. I am old and sensible as my grown up screen name suggests.

I write and play a lot of table top roleplaying games (TTRPGs)!

*crumbles into dust*

I kid, but welcome! Speaking of TTRPGs, have you seen where some of these are on Itch.io these days? I've never gotten into them myself (not much for RPGs personally, and I don't have a tabletop group to play with), but I've found some of the art & settings interesting!

There are so many on itch - I have my games on there! The indie TTRPG scene is thriving and bigger than ever - I play mostly online, and Discord is a huge part of that nowadays. Very active communities!
