There have been a couple of community building projects put forward that got me thinking about this, and then over in the post about ways to make the community better it was suggested that some people might want to get to know other lesswrongers through D&D*. I love that idea. Tabletop RPGs are the fastest way I know of to build a connection with someone that doesn't leave scars. While the concept of an 'expert' in those games is sort of goofy, I figure I've got plenty of experience and interest in them to run something or organize a LessWrong RPG group. I haven't been terribly active around LessWrong itself, but I'm the guy who ran the Dungeons and Discourse game with the boring machine about a year ago and I'm also the guy who infodumped about Exalted at the NY Solstice afterparty if you wanted nerd credentials.
Who would want to play?
*D&D is used here as a generic name for these sorts of games, sort of like how if I ask for a Kleenex I mean any sort of disposable thing I can sneeze in. I've got a bunch of systems and genres I could grab from, depending on what people thought sounded cool.
Are you talking about a local game in NY or a correspondence thing?
