[QUOTE="wedgeski, post: 5050935, member: 16212"] I would keep the highest location resolution at postal or zip code. This obfuscates the location just enough to avoid privacy concerns, IMO. I think the ideal process for me as a DM would be: - Sign up to ENW (obviously I have already done that!) - Create a "DM" identity somewhere on the site; all DM's have their own home page, showing their currently open game(s), some blurb about their playstyle/history/ etc. Having a DM identity opens up all sorts of possibilies for campaign journals and wiki's, or even a "rep" score from people who've played in your game. - Add games to my DM identity - Mark games as open (1 or more slots) or closed (no open slots) - Games should have attributes including: location (if not electronic), system, descriptive blurb, number of players, number of open slots, average length of game, frequency of game (weekly etc.), and so-on. - Interested players should be able to PM me - Ideally any game you add to your DM profile would have its own forum - Once a person has been "accepted" into a game, I'd like to be able to administer them as a player; so, give them read- or write-access to the wiki, campaign journal, forum etc. As a player it would be: - Sign up to ENW - Search for games by location (radius of my post-code or zip code), system, frequency, basically any attribute. - Browsable results either on-site or via a nice Google Maps scatter graph. - One-click PM to the DM. I'm sure you'll have opinions on which of these things would be subscriber only. :) [/QUOTE]
