Can you promote in r/hexandcounter?
Hex and Counter is a subreddit dedicated to table top wargaming of the hex-and-counter variety.
The short answer
Disclose your affiliation, keep posts low-volume and directly relevant to tabletop hex-and-counter wargaming, avoid repeated promotional posts and don't post crowdfunding links more than once.
What works here
- One clearly attributed crowdfunding link (only one link submission per campaign)
- Self-promotion if clearly attributable
- Sharing products/projects when modest in volume and relevant to hex-and-counter wargaming
What gets posts removed
- Multiple/recurring promotional posts or high-volume marketing
- Posting unrelated content (e.g., miniatures-focused posts)
- Using posts primarily as lead-generation or heavy advertising
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditSelf-promotion allowed with conditions
Sidebar explicitly states self-promotion is fine as long as it is clearly attributable and modest in volume, so vendor/founder posts must disclose affiliation and be limited.
Crowdfunding link limit
Submit text notes only one link submission for any crowd-sourced funding page, so avoid multiple campaign link posts.
Topicality requirement
Posts must be related to tabletop wargaming and hex-and-counter content, so promotional content must be directly relevant.
No miniatures content
Miniatures posts are disallowed, so avoid promoting products focused on miniatures rather than hex-and-counter wargames.
