I haven't been to smug/tg/ in a while. When I was last there the level of discussion was pretty poor, very few system specific threads and a whole lot of chatting about world building, as if any player worth their salt cares about how these guys' culture is based on a mixture of steppe nomad pastoralism mixed with Aztec cannibalism and human sacrifice with the 'herd' being space trees they live in that use solar-sail foliage to travel. Soon after julay kicked the bucket one of Robi's mooks showed up in their meta thread to defend him and everyone (including Chrow) ate it up, knew at that point that they'd turned into a clique. I've gotten greater enjoyment just reading old gamebooks in the trove than I had in the last few years of reading /tg/. Really should've seen the writing on the wall when /tg/, which was usually the 'gets shit done' board couldn't manage to find their way to the decentralized bunker and then also didn't bother to set up their own site even though Robi posted detailed instructions on how to do it (if you weren't willing to trust anyone else including just shit you read online).
I've been thinking for a while about setting up a /tg/ myself, first here to get things started then moving to my own server once we had an established community. Probably call it /ttg/ or something else though so I don't just get folks 'who follow the brand' so to speak. Can't really do that currently though with work how it is.
