    Well, I'm really not in a position to make a statement on the necessity of such a board, but I would certainly frequent one. I voted for post occasionally, but that's because I'm generally a lurker - I don't post all that often period.

    However, when I do post, a wider variety of tabletop threads would entice me to post more often as my reasons for lurking usually involve not bothering to have a post buried and ignored in a mega-thread. And also, without a doubt I would regularly read the forum; The tabletop threads in G&T are most often my favorite threads to go through.

    Also, as for the consolidation issue, I would like to say that I stay mostly within G&T, a bit in D&D and occasionally in H/A if I'm really bored... so that cuts out any kind of TT posting I might see in AC, for example; and I'm probably not going to see that stuff in H/A either. That means my only outlet is to try and guess generic search terms that might pull up TT threads and then sort through the results... needless to say, I don't do it that often. I'd love to have all of that at my fingertips.

    EDIT: Also, the only reason I even saw this thread was because of the moved topic in G&T.

    sometimes,people won't go into the other forums due to the mods or posters there ;) Hell, I've tried to widen my horizons. I think a seperate forum would develop its own subculture more conducive to tabletop gaming discussions, though.
    If I drew a character for a game, I wouldn't want AC help with it because, in general, my drawing style sucks. I'd want somebody to examine it from a non-technical perspective. I'm not interested in created a good picture- just a good character.
    I know I have participated in more than one DnD discussion in SE, and as great as they are, they are quickly drowned out. And, like I said before, I would probably not look at G&T for DnD ... because I rarely go to G&T, and have never seen a thread there that I'd post in. It just moves too quickly for the one or two threads I'd find of interest to be visible for long.
    It's not a necessary subforum, but it would be a nice one. While not too entirely into tabletop, I would lurk more than a little and post a bit there, too.

    I've been thinking about it, and I could definitely make a Trivial Pursuit thread work.

    Also, most of the current mods who have posted so far have been against the idea of this forum, so I would suggest modding-up the people who have been pushing for it the most, eg. Jasconius. That way they have a vested interest in making it work.

    They would never make me a mod.

    Not ever

    Europe and Canada would have to be set ablaze and the foundations of most of the united states would have to collapse in on itself and if I were the last person left alive there would still be less than a 10% chance of that happening.



    Here's the chart

    Give the poll a couple days, and give Alpha and Whippy (and possible the rest of the admin team) the chance to mull it over.

    I think it's better we go in over-prepared than under-prepared. I don't think the whole idea is going to collapse for a few days worth of waiting (and if it does, then it didn't have much to stand on to begin with, did it?)
