Roleplayers and gamers struggle to find compatible, reliable groups

People looking for tabletop campaigns, collaborative roleplay, or co-op gaming often struggle to find a group that fits their interests and sticks together. Some have had hostile or short-lived groups, while others say suitable communities or outlets are hard to find. Existing chat and game platforms may help people connect, but they do not necessarily make it easy to discover an active group with compatible play styles and expectations.

For tabletop and online roleplayers seeking regular groups. Mentioned from Feb 2024 to Sep 2026 on Bluesky and Hacker News.

  1. Yeah. I haven't played in years because I just can't find a good group. First group's dm clearly had a grudge against one player and took it out on the whole group. Second attempt didn't even get to level 2
  2. Honestly, I wish there was a good, friendly gaming group where you could chat and play with others about any game you currently are playing that isn't an extremely huge group. Looking for a new squad
