Finding other gamers can be difficult

Tabletop RPG's, board gamers, miniatures wargames, CCG's... they're all social activities. But to play them you need to know other gamers. Unfortunately, finding other gamers with similar interests can be difficult.

The Old Ways

Until now, the process of finding other gamers could be very tedious and time consuming. Common approaches included:

• Posting on the local game shop's bulletin or announcement board.
  A lot of gaming shops have a bulletin board somewhere in their store where you can pin a game opening announcement. This can certainly work, but only if the right person happens to visit the shop and see your "gamers wanted" ad. And of course, these days, many people don't have a local game shop.
• Posting in an internet forum or classifieds site.
  Again, this can also work. But it requires that the other gamers from your area check the particular boards you are posting on regularly, and happen to see your post before it gets scrolled out of convenient view by newer posts.
• Talking with co-workers and friends.
  If you have a large circle of friends or co-workers, this can indeed succeed. But there's a good chance you've already exhausted your local contacts. And not every gamer makes their game geekery public, so connecting can be difficult. And this approach is not too useful for those without a large circle of friends, as might be the case after a relocation.

The GeekTransit way

The GeekTransit way is more efficient. If you are a gamer looking to find other gamers or to learn about local gaming events, you sign up for GeekTransit and select your location on a map. When another gamer in your area posts on GeekTransit looking for other gamers, you receive their post in your GeekTransit inbox. That's all there is to it. You don't have to constantly monitor a number of different online and offline sources to find players. You just sign up and let the game openings come to you. Call it 'sign up and forget'. You control how you are notified about new posts that may interest you. Or you can post and have your request of a game or game opening sent out to every gamer in your area who has signed up for GeekTransit.

But there's more to it! Want to learn about or announce local gaming events? You can do that as well with GeekTransit. Never before has there been an easier way for local gamers to reach other local gamers.
