I wasn't really sure where to put this, but I was thinking that it might be helpful to have just a general social board here. Just something that popped into my head really, and I can understand if it's not something needed or even if it is just generally a bad idea. But it doesn't hurt to make the suggestion, right?
I mean, this whole forum is dedicated to crafting ideas for use in table top role play, gridless play ideas, and...well, how to enhance our jobs as DMs (And by extension, gamers or just creatively minded, crafty people). Am I right?
So that in a sense makes this a social group of sorts, and with most of the boards dedicated to tips, ideas, the crucially important videos, etc., it leaves little opportunity to get to know each other just as people who are interested in the same stuff on a social, friendly level.
I understand that this forum should not be focused towards being a social network. But it doesn't hurt to have a place where someone could just post up a thread about something that has little to do with anything except as an expression of what else there is about them.
So, just wanted to put that out there. Like I said, I may be thinking all wrong about it, and I am perfectly happy with this forum staying exactly as it is. But I thought 'd put the idea out there anyway for the Admins to consider.

I agree by the very fact we "gather and share" we become some sort of social group. How far DMscotty wants to have that grow is up to him I would guess. But I don't have any issue sharing more then just my efforts to craft (once I get started of course :-) .

It also gives forum lurkers (like me) something to do while waiting for a new video to come up or else read a reply for more productive threads. Kinda like a waiting room with magazines It also might encourage other interesting ways to support this forum.

feel free to post in general crafting for now and if there ends up being a bunch of off topic stuff it will make more sense to just do it.
