Background

Founded in 1975 and actively publishing until 1991 (limping along afterward to this day), Fantasy Games Unlimited (FGU) is known for its large, eclectic, and often very influential collection of published games. It is known in particular for the first “realistic” medieval RPG (Chivalry & Sorcery), two of the earliest RPGs set in Feudal Japan (Land of the Rising Sun and Bushido), the superhero crime-fighting game Villains & Vigilantes (a game that gave Champions a run for its money for a long time), and the first game with a focus on non-humanoid characters (Bunnies & Burrows) that also provided the first detailed martial arts system (!) and detailed skills system (!!).

About this group

This group is devoted to this wild, wonderful, weird game publisher’s works. Anything related to the company, its personalities, or its games (board, wargame, or RPG, including offshoots of them like the post-2nd edition Chivalry & Sorcery publications, or Jeff Dee’s Living Legends) is on-topic.

Rules

The usual rules of ttrpg.network apply with the following additions:

All posts must be on-topic as outlined above.
Conversations must be respectful of participants. (The games, personalities, etc. are open season.)
As communities for specific FGU games form, cross-posting between the general FGU community and the specific ones is permitted on this end; please be mindful of the other communities’ preferences, however.

Site rules

Given that we’re rather small at the moment, there aren’t terribly many instance-wide rules. As of right now, the main rules would be:

1. Don’t do anything illegal - anything against the law is basically prohibited here. We’d like to keep our instance relatively above board.

2. Stay on topic for the communities - Stay on topic for the community you’re posting in. Also respect their rules. The rules of which are left up to the mods of said community.

3. Be kind and respectful - We want this to be a positive place, regardless of a person’s ideals, values, and opinions. Just remember the person on the other side of the screen. Hate speech, name calling, or other rude/derogatory behavior is not generally allowed.

4. Please respect the rules of and do not harass others in remote or local communities - The fediverse is a wide, wide place. There’s multiple communities in existence that even predate our instance here dedicated to the subject of TTRPGs! Please don’t go into other communities and disrespect their space. You can even subscribe and participate in those communities in addition to ours!

As of right now, we have no blanket rule on NSFW content. Due to the nature of TTRPGs depicting all sorts of sex, violence, drugs, and other adult themes, we don’t plan on trying to limit this globally. This will be left up to the community in question to decide of NSFW posts/discussion/images fit in line with the community content and values. We’re willing to revisit this idea if there’s an extreme desire by the community at large one way or the other, but for now, this is where we stand.

However, all NSFW posts are required to be tagged as such.
