Welcome to Traditional Games! This is the forum for all games not played on a computer. Pen-and-paper RPGs, card games, board games, and war games are just the tip of the iceberg. Here you can talk about anything from Dungeons and Dragons to Uno. In our Game Room subforum, you can also play these games with other goons! Posting Rules All normal SA forums rules apply, as do standard Games rules! Consider printing them out and stapling them to your rules books (along with this one, of course). Keep all pure game discussion topics in Traditional Games, and all play-by-post games or other active-gameplay threads in The Game Room (including recruitment threads). If something bugs you, just report it and move on. If someone is trolling or derailing a thread, piling on to them will only make it worse. Traditional Games FAQ If I want to run a display based play-by-post game aimed specifically at "the audience", do I post it in Let's Play or The Game Room? Post it in The Game Room. Let's Play threads should be structured such that all gameplay is performed "behind the scenes", with extensive effort to differentiate them from PBP games. A generic Diplomacy game that you run with the audience does not count as a "let's play". What counts as  in terms of rule books links?If it's VERY out of print and unavailable, you can link to scans of it. Otherwise, do not link it. In border cases, please ask a mod first. What else counts as ?No one cares if your miniatures, wargaming gear, or proxy cards were made by the manufacturer or a helpful third party. However, discussing where goons can get them is out. Keep it off our forums. I need my thread moved/my title changed/I used the wrong tag/where is my cow? Send any TG or Game Room-related requests of this nature to me via PM or to ettin@somethingawful.com with a link to the thread and I will fix it ASAP.

New rule! Athanatos told me I could put this here. Offsite drama "Offsite drama" is when two or more goons have a fight on some other forum or discord or slack or facetron whatever. Don't import your offsite fights into Trad Games, even if the subject of your fight was nominally Trad Games relevant. In these troubled times, many of us have sought fallback spaces where we can hopefully regroup if worse comes to worst. That's understandable. But it's not reasonable to expect SA admins or mods to try to moderate those privately-run places remotely, and your fellow SA goons are not interested in having their threads poo poo up with chatlogs and he-said-she-saids and already-in-progress slapfights. This rule in no way bars discussion of Trad Games Industry Public Figures, including lovely things those figures might be doing on social media which seem dramatic, which you are welcome to post about in the TG As an Industry thread. That's not what we mean by "offsite drama." It's cool and good to help change the nature of the Trad Games Industry by publicly outing its abusers. Now I'm your mod Hi I got upgraded to mod this weekend and am now your friendly neighborhood TG mod. Please contact me via PMs if you need anything.
