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.

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.
