Obsidian Portal and Pen & Paper Games team up

Obsidian Portal, the leader in tabletop RPG campaign management, and Pen & Paper Games, the leader in tabletop player matching, have teamed up to make it much easier for gamers to find each other.

This partnership, termed “The Lonely Gamer Network,” means that participating Obsidian Portal campaigns are now part of the Pen & Paper Games search results, and likewise, Pen & Paper Games searching is available directly from inside Obsidian Portal. For gamers searching for each other, the pool of prospects just got a lot bigger.

Taking advantage of the new features is easy. Pen & Paper Games members should verify that their privacy options are set to be included in the Lonely Gamer Network by logging in and setting their preferences in the User CP > Edit Options section. Obsidian Portal members need to update their campaigns, making sure they are set to public, and that the two boxes are checked for Looking for Players and Publish. Within minutes, the Pen & Paper Games profile or Obsidian Portal campaign will show up in the search results on the other site, making it much more visible to anyone who is looking for a campaign to join or a new player to recruit.

For those who are a member of neither site, joining up is simple. For individual gamers who need a game to join, singing up on Pen & Paper Games is a great first step. You’ll have access to their entire player registry, plus all the participating Obsidian Portal campaigns. Likewise, for anyone with an existing group looking for new players, creating a campaign on Obsidian Portal is the way to go. In addition, to celebrate the inauguration of the Lonely Gamer Network, Obsidian Portal is giving a bonus to anyone who signs up with the promo code “lonelygamer”.

Both Obsidian Portal and Pen & Paper Games benefit greatly from teaming up, and both sides are always looking for new ways to make life easier for tabletop gamers.
