European players/DM's are not always easy to find

[Silverblade The Ench]

Well I'm just outside Glasgow (near Motherwell), and I consider it "Bandit Country"
hell I'd swap Neds for mutant 4 armed baboons and nilbogs any day of the week!

There's lots of opportunity for face to face games where I live, however my wife works evenings and I find myself in having to baby sit. And so great chance for rpg over the net play....

Quick suggestion - make a News Post on ENWorld and other gaming websites about your website, throw it into your signature. Why not pop over to our website at Dreamscarred Press - The Definitive Source for d20 Psionics › All Types › All Topics and post a suggestion. We got a PbP game going in the forums there, perhaps someone is interested in joining more?

Living in the, ahem, less civilized parts of Scotland, finding gamers sucks :/

What, are you implying that there is actually a more civilized part of Scotland?

You can laugh, but Glasgow is the third largest city in the UK.. We're civilized... just in the same way that, say, Rome was civilized, and they still found time for gladiator fights.

I've been rpg'ing over the net for bit now (using maptool and chat) and I live in the GMT (UTC) timezone.

I have found that games that are played at times suitable for GMT or GMT+1 (i.e. europe) are really quite hard to find.

There seems to be about 20 times more American online games going than European ones.

With this is mind I have set-up a website for people who want to play at times suitible to a European time zone.

It's called:- http://www.rpgeurope.net

The purpose of this is to get people who want to play at times suitible to a european time zone together. It's not limited to Europeans though, just people who want to play during times suitable to a European time zone.

Have other players/dm's also had troubles finding games that play during suitible hours?

Hey, I have joined an online gamer's site but never joined a game.

The principal reason behind this is I don't know how to use the map tool and I haven't found a clear easy to follow guidline or instructions.

Any suggestions?

Just joined and posted on your site, Thandren. Excellent idea

jbear, yes it can take a bit of getting used to, but there are many experts on forums for these products to help you, people better than me to explain. Also one game I play in uses just a chat room on dragons foot site to run the game so there is no tech knowlege to worry about.

If you use a text chat room to run a game then a system like AD&D or C&C or similar may be best as there is less need for maps in those systems. Personally I think it's quite refreshing to use just a text chat room to run the game as everyone uses there imaginations more and it feels like the good old days of AD&D before grids and miniatures.

At the moment I play in a game that uses Maptool and a game that uses just a text chat window and I like them both.

MadMaxim, thanks for the support

I've incorporated a dice roller into the site too.
