NearbyGamers Advertising

I posted this to NearbyGamers, but lots more people read my blog than read the forums there, so I wanted to crosspost real quick.

I’m stepping up the NearbyGamers advertising and could use help coming up with attention-getting things to say in the ads. Currently I have a static ad that just say “You should play more tabletop games.” and an animated ad saying “Need another _______?” and rotates in the words GM, player, opponent, LARPer, nemesis.

If you’ve got a minute, please post a comment with a suggestion or two.

About

This blog is written by Peter Harkins, a web developer and entrepreneur in Chicago. The recurring themes on this blog include programming minutia, the ways small design changes influence user behavior, and game design. Feel free to contact me or check out some code on GitHub.

In my career, I've re-engineered the .pro domain, gate-crashed a stealth startup, built one of the most popular Wordpress plugins, covered dozens of stories for the Washington Post on the web, and defeated the original Super Mario Kart.

If you play any tabletop games (like D&D, Magic, and Settlers), visit my site NearbyGamers to find folks to game with.
