Is this site dead?

Maybe a forum section where a DM can post for games like the old way? Seemed easier.

I would second a subforum specifically meant for game ads.

Understood. A forum called The Spinner's Call can now be found in The Loom. It is just for GMs to post game ads, and it can be Subscribed to.

Thank you Drew! I hope this works!

I check in maybe once every two months to see if the site got any more active, but it has been years since I have been able to join a game. Part of that is that I will miss the rare recruiting games that pop up from time to time.

What could help is if there were moderators or some group dedicated to running one-shots/short games to promote gaming. It could attract a more active userbase and possibly get some users who will then make their own games. Maybe if anyone has access to easy to run games that could allow for those with less time or skill to try and run them.

I could DM something like that but I don't have time to write my own games or run something overly complex.

That is a really good idea, and I will start working on something immediately. Maybe I'll inspire my fellow Staff Members to join in.

Throwing out ideas - many years ago there was a DM academy where experienced DMs would train/mentor players to become DMs. Is it worth resurrecting something like that?

[Faeryl]

I don't recall that DM Academy actually getting much traffic. Of course, I didn't pay close attention to it so I could be wrong, but even so.

It didn't get much traffic. Most people who found us already knew how to play.
