Getting started
Your first two weeks in grim & perilous community practice spaces
A calm onboarding path for newcomers joining grim & perilous discussion spaces.
Day one
Talk pacing, consent, and critique manners before the first actual-play clip hits the channel.
Pick a scope
One-page community norms. Repeat fights get a written ladder—then escalate to mods.
Teach the table
Date sticky posts and spoiler windows. Guest mods should inherit norms, not vibes.
After session one
Readable stickies and clear channel names beat pretty Discord themes nobody can navigate.
One newbie sticky, one spoiler window, two critique manners—enough to keep a thread usable.
r/ZweihanderRPG, Wikipedia lineage, and named netiquette pages beat anonymous 'grimdark Discord' roundups.
One-page community norms. Repeat fights get a written ladder—then escalate to mods.
Guides for norms; Glossary for channel jargon; Resources for outbound doors. Then post carefully.
Talk pacing, consent, and critique manners before the first actual-play clip hits the channel.
