Quote from: Pierce InverarityLooking for gamers on facebook is just too scattershot. But having an RPG facebook attached to rpg.net would be pretty neat.

Yes it would, I would be interested in that.

I always thought that was one of the points of gleemax and the digital initiative - to create a "facebook" or "myspace" for gamers....

That's what they want to do, yes.  I think they'd be better to work with the 30 million+ already on facebook to do that.

I've got Facebook, and almost everyone my age does. Those 30 million people with Facebooks are almost all in their late teens and twenties. My current status even mentions 4th edition D&D. I imagine it'd be a pretty decent recruiting ground.

@Pierce: Sure, there come times when you need to build a new group. But that´s nothing I can either forsee or plan on doing years beforehand. When I´m in the new, lonely place I start to build a network.

I cannot see the reason behind paying a monthly fee for networking.

Gamefind? Regional Forae? Gaming Clubs? FLGS? I can see that.

Gleemax/DDI? Hell, no.

No $10 from me.

They can have all my money for phyisical products, though.

I'm mildly interested in such networking, even though I'm well out of the age range (41- but I just got out of uni and I'm just starting grad school; furthermore, I'm really immature, so I'm kind of an anomoly).
My problem, however, is that finding random people and integrating them into the group are two different things. Nerds are picky and there are always problems. We tried to get one guy in last year, but he was allergic to our host's cat and he wanted to move everything to his house. Unfourtunately his wife disapproves of many of the bad habits that our players really enjoy while gaming (booze, cigarettes, THC...ect). He also wanted to play a talking sword... we'd like more people 1-2, but we've come to accept the fact that we're strangers even from an rpg nerd persepctive and unless we get lucky what we have is all were going to get.

That I agree with. Actually, trying forcibly to introduce the monthly subscription model  into the RPG hobby, which for decades has existed without it, is another artificial WoWism that won't work.

Obviously, I have a MySpace account. Not Facebook. Maybe at some point, but...eh.

P.S.: D&D is one of my MySpace friends, so nyah!
