I loved the original site. Helped me find a gaming group after college. Iām in a new city now, so Iām here for the rebirth. Thrilled to see what lies ahead!

You have NO clue how happy I am to see this reincarnation!! Iāve been talking crap about the old (olde??) PnPGames for years - and lamenting that it died. I will now redouble (retriple??) my efforts to get new blood in here! THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS!!!

Awesome! I couldnāt agree more. I run a PiHole and also advocate for āNo Advertisingā on my personal website: https://www.robsworld.org/iwebpages/Ad-free_blog.html

Thank you for resurrecting the site in a manner that preserves the initial intent of the original site. No advertising, not a link farm for sponsored stuff, no logins via other social media companies, no selling my personal info. Iām really liking the content of your āVisionā message - This is the type of vision needed for a community of gamers interested in the game (not buying selling or promoting āproductsā). I really need a place to find games/gaming groups and players.

Hopeful that this site grows and becomes a useful and uniting resource for gamers. Looking forward to see what the 2.0 version of the site is and evolves to be.

Thanks for the invite.
Life and work have led me further and further from gaming, but I hope to get back into it.
It is great to have a place where we can at least talk about the games we love and maybe connect to play them as well.

Hey, nice to be back. You know I just looked for this page a few weeks back to see if it had any activity on it. I did meet a few groups back in the day and ran some of my games for them, made some lifelong friends. Thanks Farcaster for reaching out to me. Good to see this is back. Especially after RPGs are starting to become more mainstream.

Any luck on updating the original site / pages to redirect to here yet?
I was sad when PenAndPaperGames shut down - it was the best at what it did and tried to do for a long time. Social media sites are terrible for actual networking and especially collaboration, the organized sharing of ideas, archival of knowledge, etc. Social media is IMO basically good for spouting a comment and have it rapidly wither into obscurity.
Welcome back. Interesting that you are the original person - I had thought that someone had bought an abandoned URL to try again. I hope this all works out and that people have an effective means of finding local RPGers again.

Funny that you mention that. I had two real life buddies contact me privately to make sure it was actually me and not someone trying to impersonate me and restart the site.
Iām glad youāre back. We may not have the fully functionality of the player/game finder yet for the new site, but weāll get there. It has been awesome to see such a positive response to P&PGās return!
I thought I had that sorted, but apparently I made a little configuration error. Everything should now redirect back here to discuss.penandpapergames.com.

I donāt even have a bookmark for the old site anymore.
Is there any chance of pulling back some of the old resources contained therein?
You mean like old threads or something?
