⚠️ PSA for players hunting for free games: watch out for scams
Been hearing more reports lately of "free" D&D/TTRPG games on LFG servers and Facebook groups turning out to be anything but. A few patterns to watch for before you commit:
🚩 Asked to pay before session one — for character art, "uniform" tokens/maps, or a shared asset pack. Legit GMs don't need your money before you've even met them.
🚩 Vague or brand-new profiles — no session history, no reviews, nobody in the group vouching for them.
🚩 Pushed off-platform fast — straight into DMs, then straight into a payment link.
🚩 "Buy this on my link" — for content that's normally free or cheap through official sources. Sometimes it's a resale scam, sometimes it's just harvesting your money for content that never existed.
The simple rule: a free game should stay free until you've actually played and trust the table. If someone's asking for money upfront with no track record, walk away.
If you're after a bit more peace of mind and don't mind paying for a properly run table, our Games N Geekery community on Discord runs professional, experienced-GM campaigns with a track record — no surprise fees, no vanishing acts, just consistent games. Join here: https://discord.gg/bkptAX7Hex

Stay safe and happy adventuring! 🎲
