In conjunction with this month's blog carnival on Community, I thought this would be an appropriate question to ask.
What is Your Gaming Community Like?
Here's some follow-up questions to guide your answers.
- Where is your gaming community located?
- How big would you say it is?
- What games are being played? Are there any games more predominant than others?
- Is it easy to find other players and GMs outside your gaming group?
- Are there any community activities being run like conventions or something to attract new players?
- How many game stores are there in your community? Do they run any RPG-related activities?
- Is there a LARPing community?
- How does the wider community look at the gaming community?
