What this sub rewards
How replies earn upvotes here
- Sound like a fellow community member, not a vendor or service provider. Speak as someone who played, not as someone reporting on gaming.
- No corporate or marketing tone. Plain, human language only. Don't say 'experience' when you mean 'game'. Don't say 'engagement' when you mean 'how often I play it'.
- Offer multiple options or perspectives, not a single prescription. Compare across builds, classes, or playstyles. 'X is meta if you play Y, but Z if W' beats 'X is meta, period'.

Real comments that landed in r/rpg_gamers
Two recent highly-upvoted replies. Notice what they have in common — concrete, no preamble, no self-promotion.
"I love the old school look and art style!!! The only critique I would give is do you need to have the same line of sight/fog of war darkness that was implemented in the original BG games?

"The rumors that Warhorse is creating a Lord of the Rings game would be my dream game. A Kingdom Come Deliverance style game in Middle Earth would be the most amazing stuff ever."
Your pre-reply checklist
Before you hit Reply — four quick checks
Does my comment add something specific, not just an opinion?
A useful reply names a number, a method, a personal experience, or a concrete example. If you could replace your draft with "I agree" and lose nothing, rewrite.
Have I read the top 3 comments already on this thread?
If the highest-upvoted reply already says what you were about to say, your comment will sink. Add what's missing — counterexamples, edge cases, the next step — not what's there.
Would my reply still work if my username was removed?
If it only makes sense because it promotes you, your product, or your platform, this sub will spot it. Frame the value as "this solved it for me," not "check out my…"
Did I skim the sidebar rules one more time?
Every sub has at least one rule that surprises outsiders — peer-review only, no images, no specific tags, no off-topic. Five seconds in the sidebar can save you a removal.
