I'm The New RPG Section Editor for GGE
The Great Games Experiment is going to be opening its doors to the general public in a couple of weeks. Recently, they asked me to be the section editor for RPGs.

Things are still kind of evolving here, and the Great Games Experiment staff has kinda left things open to me (so far) to define my own role as what being a section editor is supposed to be all about. Mainly, I'm to keep an eye on the RPG titles, make any changes that seem necessary if something is improperly represented, and spotlight really cool games. The emphasis for the spotlights seems to be on indie games --- after all, the famous games have plenty of spotlight already. The point is helping gamers find games that they might never have heard of which they will enjoy.

The key as to whether GGE will take off or not is its community. The community that greets new members will establish the feel and flavor of the site, and it's evolution to come. And the key to GGE's success will be whether or not there's an active, lively community with things happening when people arrive.

So - I've got a whole bunch of beta invites burning a hole in my pocket. Since there's a pretty lively bunch of gamers (and RPG fans!) here in this community, if you are interested in participating in the beta of GGE and helping with the last-minute preparations / bug-finding / shaping of things to come, please let me know and I'll send you an invite (until they run out). You can contact me at feedback --- AT --- rampantgames.com.
