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.

Here Comes The Role Play Media Network

In the wake of the RPG Bloggers changes and uncertainty, Berin Kinsman from Uncle Bear set up this.  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...=)
