Here's an idea I've been thinking over and would like some feedback on. In the last two months Ye Olde Inn has seen over 2100 visits from 38 countries. Huge numbers from the United States, United Kingdom, Netherlands and Canada. Pretty good numbers from throughout Europe and Australia. Now, people come from all over these areas, and I know for a lot of people, getting games together can be difficult.
What I'm wondering is, would it be a good idea to set up a Forum for scheduling Game Sessions?
The purpose would be for people who want to get together and play some HeroQuest to come to the forums, look up an area where they live or close to where they live, and come in contact with others in that area who would like to get together and play some quests too. It's a good play to get to know someone first, have some conversation, and set up some sessions.
Setting up the forums would be simple. I would create forums for each Country with major hits to the Inn, sub-forums for States, Provinces, Regions and Counties even, should the need arise. People could find their area, introduce themselves, and get to know people who they may never have guessed live nearby.
The forums may not have that many active members at the moment, but perhaps if people were able to connect with others nearby with similar interests, our community might grow and we could all start playing more of our favourite game.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
