a community for rpg bloggers, podcasters, vidcasters, and their audiences
Welcome to the RolePlayMedia.net - the Role Play Media Network
It's not a feed aggregator, it's a community
This isn't a list of recent blog posts. It's a social network for RPG bloggers and RPG blog readers, where things can be discussed, tips can be traded, events can be coordinated, and more. Of course, you can blog from here as well if you don't already have a blog somewhere else. The most popular blogs will be featured on the front page, but all blogs can be seen on the blogger's page and on the "Blogs" tab at the top.
A Quick Tour
Here's an overview of the site, and some tips on how you can get the most out of it.
My Page
This is your personal profile, and it's customizable to suit your needs. I recommend moving the RSS feed box to top and center on your page (the "My Page" link at the top) and adding the feed to your blog. Then when people go to your page to check you out, they can see your most recent blog posts and click through to your site! The more you participate in other things, such as chat, forums, and groups, the more you'll be seen and them more people will check out your profile page and your blog.
Blogs
If you don't have a blog elsewhere, you can start one here! Even if you do, you can start another one. Unfortunately, at this time ther is no way to directly link your existing blog, but you can always make a short "roundup" post plugging content recently added to your own site. The most popular blogs will automatically be feature on the from page, but all blogs can be seen on the member's page and via the "Blogs" tab.
Forum
Currently, there's one great big generic forum for all topics. depending upon need, it can be broken out into categories to accommodate breakout topics. The most recent forum topics will appear on the front page, but all topics can be seen on the "forums" tab.
Chat
Live conversation with other members. located both at the bottom of the main page and on the "Chat" tab.
Groups
You can start a group for anything -- specific games and settings (DYD 4e, Savage Worlds etc.), regional interests (Arizona Bloggers, German bloggers, etc), topics (cartography, adventure design), absolutely anything. The 10 most recently active groups will be displayed on the left sidebar on the main page, but all Groups can be accessed from the Groups page.
Events
Holidays, conventions, blog carnivals, and other events can be added to the calendar. A great way to remember things, promote stuff, and keep track of things you can be blogging about. The 10 latest events are displayed on the left column of the main page, and all of them can be seen on the "Events" tab.
Members
The most popular members (measured by who gets clicked on and "friended" the most) will appear on the from page, but all members can be viewed on the "Members" tab.
The Future
The site has the option to add audio and video, so podcasts and vidcasts can be added in the future. That costs, though, so it will depend upon how quickly the network grows and the sort of revenue that can be raised through donations and ad revenue.
