RPG Haven

Someone over on Forum Promotion gave me the idea to possibly branch out and add Tabletop RPG discussions to the forum. It could bring in a new audience too, I'm more familiar with video game RPGs but I know how to play Dungeons and Dragons at least and could do research on other games too. I'd like to hear some feedback on this before I decide to implement it or not.

I believe that Tabletop RPGs could be an excellent choice that could attract a new audience. It could also be a chance to get to know about different kinds of RPGs.

This could include a miniature sections creations with plans guides tutorials on how to make and paint. Could be a fantastic option because rp covers this too.

It should be really first thing.

Thanks for the responses so far! I'm going to keep this thread open for another day to see if I get anymore responses but I'm pretty sure I'm going to go ahead and add the section after I update the forum over the weekend. (It's not my weekend yet, I have one more day of work.)

Need any help coming up with names for the nodes/forums? You helped me out over at forum ProMotion finding them plugins.

I would recommend you add a section, after all, old people like me get confused when we see RPG, and realize it's not ttRPG, but vRPG. I know I could add some discussion points here.

I would probably keep with the same theme you have going with your naming convention though. For the video games, you've to 8-bit, 16-bit, etc, why not just use something that screams analog, like Pen & Paper or something. In my personal experience I wouldn't recommend breaking the board up into genres just yet, you'll end up with a lot of empty boards. By far, the most popular and well known ttRPG is Dungeons & Dragons. But there's literally thousands of other games, including my favorites, Shadow Run (Cyberpunk/Science Fiction) and Big Eyes Small Mouth (multi-genre). Oh, and my new possible favorite Fabula Ultima (a jRPG recreation), although, I'm still reading the rule book, but I think that this game could be a star over here on this site, because it literally recreates the feeling of the jRPG environment, but just for Table Top role playing.

I really like these! But I think I will have one section for now, I wouldn't want too many subforums and they end up being empty like Senkusha mentioned above. I will definitely keep these in mind though thank you for your input everyone!
