Map of the RPG Community

[Morrus]

Using the twice-ENnie honorable-mentioned Hexographer, I whipped up this map of the RPG community. I based it on member figures - one hex represents 1000 members. It's a work in progress, and just a bit of fun.

This ONLY represents online community, not sales figures of RPG companies or overall traffic to websites. It's based solely on membership figures, with all the pitfalls such an approach may involve. Don't take it too seriously.

Click on the map below to jump to the super-duper interactive map! You can just click on the "countries" to jump straight to that website!

I take it that creating maps of "online communities" is the newest (not so new) meme.

Can you add a couple of hexes for UK Role Players please?

 

[R00kie]

Could you add 3 hexes for Story-games.com and 2 hexes for UKroleplayers.com ?

I'll try and add some more later. I'm going to steer away from the smaller communities, though, for the simple reason that there are hundreds of them and many would only be a single hex or so. Imagemapping the hyperlinks would be an utter nightmare, and the map would get very cluttered. I think 3000 members or so is a reasonable cut-off (although I have made a couple of exceptions).

I've added Story Games and UK Roleplayers.

YS isn't on there yet. The others are already there. RPGnet's that enormous blue thing in the middle!
