We seem to have plenty of people here who are interested in Role Playing Games (RPGs) - by which I mean the real thing, not computer games  I'm not yet sure there is enough interest for a forum, but it seems to me that it is not impossible, so a good time to find out everyone's reactions to the idea. If we could get one or more web-based RPGs running on the forum too, so much the better. So - is this a good idea or not? All opinions are welcome |

The thing is that I don't think there is currently enough interest in desktop RPG's to warrent a board, but on the other hand opening a board may prompt the interest. so it's a chicken and egg thing atm.
Another thing is that I think we may have too many boards on the front page for people to easily utilise, as even at a screen resolution of 1280X1024 I can't see all the boards on the front page. Have you considered sub boarding some of the boards so that you have some general categories that then lead to the sub boards within? Granted this may also reduce the traffic that those boards receive and make it less visible when new posts are made, but equally it may make the boards easier to navigate.
Back to the RPG board, I say go ahead and start one as it doesn't cost anything except bandwidth and pixels, so if it doesn't work out, there's nothing lost.

Scrolling exists for a reason I really don't think hiding boards away as sub-boards is a good idea, and the list of forums is not so long as to be intimidating, I believe. That said, I am trying to find a good balance between accessibility and the number of boards, which is why the Archive exists and inactive forums are discontinued. That and the recent board condensing shouldn't hurt. |

I know I'm interested. I'm currently DMing a D&D campaign with some friends and would love to get feedback on what I'm doing or get help with finding free/cheap resources.
I'd really like to find someone who has the new 3.5 core books so that I can ask questions about what changed. I don't have the money to buy the books, but I would like to incorporate changes if possible, especially ones that make things smoother.
Just my two cents and it isn't worth opening a new board if I'm the only one with things to post.

I've got them, and I believe that a few others on the boards have them as well.

My only experience in paper RPGs is a couple of times of AD&D (games that were never completed, BTW  ), and it was face to face, never online. But I enjoyed it, and would certainly look at this forum if you set it up. |

I haven't had any experience with pen and paper rpg's. I'm sure if you started a forum about it though, I could come up with a ton of questions. ;D Go for it Elliot. I'll be there. Shan |

I bet I'm more of a newbie to it than you are Jags. Maybe they will be extra nice to the both of us. Shan |
