With this inaugural post, I'd like to welcome all fellow gaming geeks to this community, where we gather around a shared interest in tabletop role-playing games. Here, I plan to share news of new releases and hope to generate discussion on those things, as well as various topics to do with tabletop role-playing games, in general.

I also hope to be able to distribute exclusive downloadable content - such as print-it-yourself battle maps - for members only, when and if such a feature is made available on Locals. I've been told by Locals support staff that such a feature may be available in the future. Here's hoping.

Tabletop RPGs in general- and, more recently, Dungeons & Dragons in particular - are my favourite games to play. They free the imagination, help you make friends, and give us that brief but necessary escape from the sometimes stressful aspects of real life.

So, welcome. Let's see where this can go...
