Player List
With thousands of people backing TFT on Kickstarter it seems likely some are close enough I could play with them. But how do I find them? Would it make sense to offer everyone who backed on Kickstarter a chance to opt in to having their location and contact information made available to those organising and/or seeking games?
I remember there was a TFT player list once upon a time but I don't know if it's still about and I severely doubt it's as complete as the Kickstarter backer list. |

Re: Player List
People who want to meet up with other local TFT fans are encouraged to use the Gamer Finder forum right here.

But if a Kickstarter update were to say, "We encourage you to sign up to this player finder web site" (whether a SJG web site or third party one) "and register an interest in TFT," then I could just leave that entry and forget about it. If three years from now someone in my neighbourhood is starting a game they can call. I think it would be a great way to promote TFT. I'm really surprised it isn't happening, for all SJG games, but especially for TFT because the Kickstarter updates catch people's attention. Alternately you could encourage thousands of people to post, "I live here and I'm interested in TFT," to the forum. This would flood the forum and make it machine searchable only. But it's greatly inferior solution compared with a proper player finder, with a map. |

Re: Player List
How about a group on Facebook or Twitter?
(Not sure if groups work on Twitter actually) But a Facebook one probably would. - whether it would need to be broken down into country location or not - or if the title of each post started with the Country / State /Town etc. That might work. - Anybody care to give it a try? |

Re: Player List
I think what's needed is something entirely passive, where I can put my name on the list and forget about it, and if I need to find players I can go to the list and find them. Facebook isn't really like that.
This is quite frustrating. Based on https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...ying/community there are probably dozens of backers in my city, but I have no way to contact them. An opt-in scheme pushed out through a Kickstarter update would be easy and so handy. Last edited by David Bofinger; 09-02-2018 at 07:55 PM. Reason: typo |
