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.

After the campaign has gone on a bit, I planned anyway to do an AP about my experiences with West-Marches-like campaigns. I haven't yet decided if it would be more interesting to and if I'd be more interested in the opinions the German-speaking or the English-speaking crowd, but if I go for the latter, I might as well put up a copy on The Forge.
While I doubt it's ever going to happen, the thought of RE being playing FtA! amuses me...

I would say go for it, and invade the Forge, but of course Edwards would probably make up some bullshit excuse about how its "not a true Indie game" the way he does with any game he doesn't like.

You are a moron, dude. Allow me to explain why.

1. You can't spam or troll ('invade') the Forge. RE will just move posts to the inactive forum.

2. Genuine AP reports are treated the same way regardless of whether they're about D&D or DitV. They sit there, and if they raise interesting points people chime in to say something or ask questions.

It doesn't matter if your game is 'true indie' or not when it comes to the Actual Play forum. If you wanted to get your own FtA forum at the Forge, you would probably have to ditch Clash and publish it yourself. And mend fences with RE of course.

Why would I be interested in posting to a forum that is at this point considerably less successful than this one?

Actually, I didn't say you would, but you said go for it, invade the Forge. I suggested that Skyrock write one, because  think I might have seen his moniker over there. As far as the Forge forum goes, you're probably better off here with your own platform (cf. Luke Crane).

There appears to be a resurgence of interest in geeky old-school play among the Story Gamers. Might as well put your game under their noses. Probably somebody will say Forgey things about it and you'll get annoyed, but it's a market.

Yes, I actually have an account over there - but rather under my real name then under my moniker, and I've only used it a couple of years ago to ask some questions about Sorcerer and to comment on the German Forge Booth in Essen (which has been run by acquaintances of me - RPG Germany is a small country).

But first back to campaign prep, there's stuff that needs to be done before even the raw material for AP threads is ready...
