Join me at @DwilightBM! Whether you have a character on that continent or not, let's lead the charge in getting ourselves out there!
Original Post:
Let's face it: we're hemorrhaging players faster than new players are being infused. It's a slow process, but every realm big or small (especially the small ones) feels the sting of loss when someone decides, "Eh, not going to log in today," and then realizes it's been weeks since they last did.
I propose a Twitter revolution.
I've been to the Battle Master Twitter page, and let me tell you: it hurts my heart how rarely this vital tool (and let me tell you; it IS vital) is utilized. Twitter is not a source for occasional updates, and our page there should cater to a broader audience than its meager 20-30 followers. Its 160-letter limit is the perfect supplemental format for a game in which actions occur over a 12-hour period, and the ability to attach pictures and video should not be taken lightly.
I think I speak for a large part of our audience when I call us geeks. So we should act the part! Holy !@#$, I play a neurotic, reclusive, widowed bureaucrat with 4 children and a country to upkeep with one of my characters! Why don't I have a place where I can slap together a !@#$ty D&D-flavored meme and plaster it up like a picture on Mom's fridge? I can do that here, but scrolling through forums is a lot more time-intensive than the instant gratification of a 160-letter post!
Getting people involved with the Twitter account, getting the page actively posting in the way Twitter is supposed to be used (shootin' the !@#$ with the community), and getting new players involved in an active learning process where they can ask and receive immediate feedback from everyone else following the account is the way to attract more people!
Let's get out there and get geeky! Post to Wizards of the Coast, Wil Wheaton, D&D, parody accounts, who gives a !@#$ who!
