SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Introducing the Gaming Gatherer Event Finder

Tired of posting in a forum and being unable to find games in your area through the hundreds, and on busy forums THOUSANDS of gamer wanted ads?  Sick of seeing how many games are available in California when you live in New York?

Well, I have a treat for you - click the Gatherings tab above or the event finder link to the left

This system allows for you to enter your zip code and get all the games in the system within 5, 10, 50 or more miles away. You can also hunt up convention listings in the same manner or advertise informal gatherings.  Games can be searched for based on their genre, underlying system, or both.

Best of all, it's free - though it is empty at the moment. So what have you got to lose? Post your game today!!

(System currently only works with US addresses. Canandian support is being worked on at this time).

Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what\'s on the other side? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide.

The drupal community is working on other countries as we speak and adding them is a simple matter once the data becomes known.  At this time the Canadian and German db's about about half done.

A db needs to have the postal codes crossreferenced with their respective latitudes and longitudes for distance calculation.

There's unintentional comedy here.

Errr....I'm not seeing any way to add an event at all.  I can search but not finding any way to add content to that section.

Let me check permissions.

There was a problem with permissions - it's been corrected now.  You should be able to create an event by clicking the gatherings tab then clicking the Host Event subtab.

Pooker, your place keeps getting better.  Already I'm asking folks "EN-what?"
 
Now if you had a system to puch a good portion of those RPGers toward Oklahoma City, that would be cool (hey, I can dream, can't I?).

Thanks Smokestack - by the way folks, if you are looking but not organizing a game there's a spot for that too.
