How To Find Google+ RPG Players

Want to connect with an online tabletop RPG group? Maybe find a pickup game? Here are some places to post game notices and find players or groups:

G+ RPG Hangouts — over 2,500 members
G+ Tabletop Roleplaying Games — over 7,000 members
Hangout RPG’s — over 1,500 members
If you’re using Roll20.net, they have over 100,000 registered users and a very active gamers-seeking-gamers forum as well as a game listing.

And of course, post in the specific system you’re gaming in (Savage Worlds, DnD Next, etc.).

If you do a good job with your game pitch, I absolutely convinced you can find players on G+. G+ is absolutely amazing for gaming. Here an example from a game I pitched recently.

My pitch was for a rabbits or mouse game use Fate (Pitch was in part “I’m planning on starting a Google+ Hangouts campaign using either the Bunnies & Burrows (Watership Down) setting, or the Mouseguard setting, but using the Fate Core rules.”) That’s a pretty niche concept to get players for! But I was successful using these techniques.

Within 24 hours I had 22 respondents who wanted to play (4 wanted to play Watership Down/B&B, 6 wanted to play Mouseguard, 12 would play either one).

Here’s how I got that response:
