Squaredeal Sten Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 (edited) I dont agree with Nick's characterization. Raise your hand if you are a mindless zombie. But I agree that these forums should be better known. It would be to everyone's advantage if the LFG ( new games/ opponents wanted ) section https://basicroleplaying.org/forum/77-lfg-looking-for-a-runequest-game-or-offering-one/ was better publicized. What would help that? 1. More prominent mention(s) on the Chaosium web site. 2. A mention in the currently unfinished. unpublished Gamemaster's Guide. 3. Us mentioning it in the Facebook groups, Reddit and ??? Edited June 15 by Squaredeal Sten the link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali the Helering Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 I think I may be a mindless zombie, since I'm not a member of the Canon Cult 🤪🤣 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDLeary Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Come now! Dos no one think that "Come join the Mindless Zombies" would attract a crowd in the gaming industry?! 🙃 6 hours ago, Squaredeal Sten said: It would be to everyone's advantage if the LGG ( new games/ opponents wanted ) section https://basicroleplaying.org/forum/77-lfg-looking-for-a-runequest-game-or-offering-one/ was better publicized. What would help that? As far as site placement, perhaps giving "Looking for a game" a top level in the forums, with "Looking for..." for individual games underneath? 6 hours ago, Squaredeal Sten said: 1.

Trifletraxor is still listed in pride-of-place in the Staff listing, and we still have sections for the D100 Family. I'm not sure these would exist if this was a Chaosium asset. That of course doesn't mean that they couldn't promote more on their site, just that they have less incentive because of lack of total control. I would certainly encourage them to put the site in a list of Gamemaster Reference Sources in the GMs Guide, if they haven't done so already. 6 hours ago, Squaredeal Sten said: 3. Us mentioning it in the Facebook groups, Reddit and ??? This is probably the best option, at least in the short term. SDLeary 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaosium does most of the mod/admin work, I think. Chaosium.com points here as "Forums" (not "Fan Forums"). 1 Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfbrandi Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 12 hours ago, g33k said: I believe that it is [a Chaosium asset] these days, yes. Chaosium does most of the mod/admin work, I think. There is this: BRP Central is a non-profit RPG community fansite with a focus on Chaosium games. Chaosium staff act as moderators, but the site is not owned by Chaosium and email lists from this site will not be shared or used for marketing purposes. — Trifletraxor, BRP Privacy Policy So not an asset in the sense of being their property, but if they are prepared to put the work in to moderate it, presumably they think that it is an asset in the (thinner) sense of its existence being of some value to Chaosium — or if you are of a more world-weary outlook, they think getting to moderate the forum is of some value to Chaosium. I couldn’t possibly comment. No, really: I have no idea. 2 Quote NOTORIOUS VØID CULTIST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
