Many of which I game with on a semi-regular basis.
Despite the small population, these participants are some amazing people and I have connected with folks from all over the world. Maybe because G+ is perceived to have a steeper learning curve than Facebook, there is a smaller number of participants. Over on G+ I have been fortunate to connect with some amazing people who genuinely want to have open discusses without (most of the time) digressing into a flame war. I think it’s time to remove myself from most of the RPG related groups I belong to. Really? that’s all there is to talk about? I often see other folks trying to start open and engaging conversations, but many times it just turns into a shit show and digresses into a flame war. I belong to quite a number of Facebook groups related to roleplaying games and the only conversations constantly showing up are ‘What are you playing this weekend?”, “what’s this guy’s story?” or even better “Stat this monster!”. I find Google’s G+ to be a more open, inviting and engaging place to connect with like-minded individuals. Facebook and I are having a relationship crisis! It’s a great place to connect with family and friends, but when it comes to engaging with folks about the RPG hobby, it’s static and disingenuous.
