r/digitaltabletop rules, stats, and what to post

Relevant Content Only: All posts must be related to digital games that represent physical tabletop games, or that play like tabletop games. Not traditional board or card games but the kind of hobbiest games that are only found at specialty board game stores. The games can have features that are not physically possible in a tabletop game, but they need a tabletop feel.

Don't be a jerk: No insults, either toward an individual or a group. We're an inclusive safe space for all groups except for those that are intolerant. Fascists are not welcome, in other words. Google "The Paradox of Tolerance" if you think this is hypocritical.

Don't overpost: No one topic is so interesting that we need to hear about it every day, or even every week. Self promotion is allowed for digital tabletop games, but generally no more than twice in a month, so make your posts count. And make every post actually useful; repeating the same announcement with nothing new, even if it's restricted to twice a month, is also overposting.

No clones or copyright infringement: If you're not making a licensed version of an existing game, simply copying an existing game is a fun project and we wish you luck, but this is not an indie dev sub, this is a gaming sub. As a result, we want to see original games or licensed versions of existing games. Clones of existing games of any types are not appropriate on the sub. Games that use existing art or characters or world building from any source that isn't licensed properly is also not allowed.

No low effort content: We do not specifically bar AI submissions, but a vibe coded game that you put three prompts and 20 minutes into is pretty obvious, and we need to ban low effort content to stem the flood of AI slop. And to be clear, nothing is banned in a witch hunt looking for AI. Instead we're looking at raw effort and polish in the game.
