    Did you know there is an online forum for tabletop role-playing games that has been around since the early 80s, and which still is active and operating?

    ha, I wasn't gonna link the article here because I thought everyone here already knows how to get to Usenet. :D

    I was trying to entice some people in the hobby to have a look at the rec.games.frp. hierarchy again. But I guess having a rather obscure blog
    even a few hundred views don't necessarily equate to a measurable
    increase in posters...

    Yeah I fought that fight for r.g.f.dnd for years, but got nowhere. I
    haven't even played an online game in almost a year now so haven't been interested as much.

    I have recently started to play in two online games that I find quite
    nice, and noticed that one of the GMs also has a net news server running.
