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.

I honestly don't know of any outside of Tenkar's Tavern, which is a shame.  I have a feeling a lot of RPG news moved to Google+ along with a lot of the RPG community, but I can't say for sure as I don't have a Google+ account.

ENWorld.

Or has it been overtaken?

Just spam your RPG news in Facebook groups. That's where your customers are. That's how they get their "news". It comes to them.

I've noticed, for whatever reason, that there's been some kind of really big shift these last couple of months. It seems to me that G+ traffic (including RPG news/discussion) has decreased considerably, while Twitter traffic regarding RPG talk has increased considerably. I don't know why.

A guess: more "normies" (targets of influencers) are present on Twitter than on G+. The conversation is going where the target audience is, to try to raise a Twitter Outrage Mob. aka SJW SOP.

G+ was bad enough.  Twitter is substantially worse.

Twitter is certainly substantially more conflict-driven than G+ or Facebook.

It's also easier to track and search for posts on a topic; excepting from people who are blocking you of course, or the ones who aren't there anymore because Twitter banned them for their politics.
