Title: Here Comes The Role Play Media Network
Post by: Zachary The First on October 24, 2009, 07:59:50 PM
In the wake of the RPG Bloggers changes and uncertainty, Berin Kinsman from Uncle Bear (http://unclebear.com/) set up this (http://www.roleplaymedia.net/).  Probably fine for people who like social networking sites, not so great for those who don't.

I saw Brett is on there, as am I.  Anyone else?  It's always fun to play with new stuff, but it's hard to tell how successful it'll be.  I like that you can create groups and the like, but am not sold overall on the utility for my site.  Guess we'll see what others think.

I did too, though other than some actual plays and a few reviews, I haven't done anything "in" gaming since some stuff for Eden Studios Presents ages ago.

Actually, the only reason I signed up was because Zachary sent me an invite. I don't normally like social sites like that, because I find them a waste of my time. Still, we'll see if this cam offer anything new.

That's the way I look at it.  It took me a long time to jump on Twitter and Facebook, and I'm hardly an obsessive user of either.  But I figure I might as well give this place a shot.  And I figured if I'm gonna try it, I might as well have some cool people along. :)

Oh, if I had known you wanted cool people I wouldn't have signed up...=)

Gha! Same here! You can't be 53 and cool - by definition.

Oh, I dunno, Clash, Judi Dench and Helen Mirren are both pretty cool, and they're both over 53.  You don't happen to be a celebrated British actress, do you? :)

I haven't signed up yet, but I likely will tomorrow, and poking around there this week.  The splash page didn't grab me instantly (for shame!), but it's early yet.

I added groups for discussion of my current obsession (Star Wars Saga) as well as a catch-all for all three out of print Marvel games.

Savage Worlds (my BIG obsession) was already covered...=)
