Are we ready for a non-d20, non-OGL games forum?

[jaerdaph]

So at EN World we have the General forum for discussion of D&D and (fantasy) roleplaying in general, a D&D rules forum, and a forum for d20 Modern/d20 System/OGL games.

Would a forum for discussion of non-d20/non-OGL games (essentially "everything else") be something that people would want and use, especially at a level that would warrant its own forum?

One of the reasons I ask is that the Ennies are moving towards greater inclusiveness by including non-d20/non-OGL games. Another is I am starting to see more and more publishers of really cool non-d20/non-OGL games posting in Publishers (Colonial Gothic and Witch Hunter most recently), and I'd love to have a place to discuss these games with the same level of hands on interaction we see from the publishers, developers and designers in our existing games forums.

So what do people think about this?

I think either it or General would end up pretty much empty. At present, there isn't the trafic on that subject to fill a full forum.

I'm really enjoying seeing them in General. Frankly, it's the best way to guarantee more attention.

My personal opinion is to fold it into the d20/OGL forum, and make that a catch-all "non-D&D" category. That seems to me to be the most elegant solution. The current d20/OGL forum gets enough traffic to be tenable as a seperate board, but not so much that adding a little more to it would mess with the general usefulness of the it. Especially since I tend to agree with Morrus's assessment, in that non-d20/OGL talk wouldn't generate enough traffic to get it's own board.

So it might be better to just post about non-d20/non-OGL games like these in d20 Modern, d20 and OGL Games because the first page doesn't get as quick of a turn over as the first page in General?

it would be my new home on ENW.

We'll give this some thought; that might be viable.

 

[diaglo]

i'll voice my opinion against LP's suggestion.

I think it sounds like a good suggestion too. (sorry diaglo, no offense )

It would seem like quite a natural home for it.
