Kinky & geeky
Games, comics, science, sci-fi, tabletop, code. The people for whom a scene and a campaign have a lot in common.
Tribes are new: the first people to add this get found first by everyone who joins after.
Kinky and Geeky is the second-largest group on FetLife, and it makes sense: people who build worlds, learn rulebooks for fun, and care about the details of a craft find a lot that's familiar in a scene that runs on negotiation, systems and role play. Rope is engineering. Protocol is a ruleset. A scene is a campaign with a session zero.
Putting it on your card is shorthand for a kind of person: someone who'll talk about the thing they love for an hour, who probably has opinions about a game, a show or a programming language, and who likes partners who get the references. It's one of the most reliable ice-breakers on any kink site.
Practical overlap people find: costume and cosplay, role play with real character work, puzzle-like bondage and predicament play, toy-making and crafting, and munches that are half board-game night. Some cities have geek-themed munches; your city page lists what's public.

Your first munch: what to expect and what to wear
Practical answers for first-timers: what to wear, what to say, whether to use your real name, and how to leave gracefully.
Experimentalist
You'd rather try it and find out than read about it for another year.
Rigger
You're drawn to rope as a craft, and you want to be genuinely good at it.
Switch
Which side you're on depends on the person and the day, and that's the point.
Bondage
Restraint by agreement: rope, cuffs, straps or just a held wrist, for the feeling of being held still or of holding someone still.
Medical play
Role play around examinations, procedures and clinical authority, from a costume and a cold stethoscope to the sterile end of sensation play.
