Only 16 Dresden gamers worldwide?
« on: April 09, 2010, 10:58:31 AM »
Nearby Gamers, one of the best ways of finding gamers on the internet is currently suggesting there are only 16 people in the world interested in the Dresden Files RPG.

Surely we can do better than that?

Considering I was number 734 of pre-orders for the book, I really don't think you can use this as any sort of a barometer what so ever.

"Hey, people aren't on my corner of the internet! That must mean they don't exit."

The internet is a very big place. Hell, I'm a big fan of pen and paper games and this is the first time I've ever heard of this website.
Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I'm an agent of chaos. Oh, and you know the thing about chaos? It's fair.

It probably doesn't help that we are splitting our numbers. We now have 2 people tagged as 'Dresden', 40 tagged as 'Dresden Files' and 10 tagged as 'Dresden Files RPG'.

Since I think that in this htread we're mostly concerned about the RPG, instead of the city or the books, maybe folks should change their tags to include "RPG."

It might make it easier to locate other gamers. :)

I fixed it so that Dresden Files RPG redirects to Dresden Files.

I can assure there are at least a dozen, maybe two dozen, people interested in playing/running DFRPG in latinamerica and Spain, yet I'm the only one listed in Nearby Gamers. Maybe looking for FATE tags the search nets more results.
