Searching for RPGs on the main site

Postby olshanski » Thu Feb 16, 2012 11:15 am

How do I search the free RPGs on the main site?

I am trying to browse through them, but I am finding it very difficult.
For example, I might want to look at only sci-fi free RPGS.
Or I might want to exclude the Ronnies RPGs.
or I might want to only look at Fantasy RPGs.

Currently, I am just looking one page at a time, and I am getting a little frustrated. I cannot even find a place to search on "Tags", even though I see tags applied to many of the games.

Thanks in advance for considering this question.

There is a search function in the upper right hand corner, under the RSS feed and over the "Recent posts" sidebar.

The creators of the site are well-aware that the base is not too functional.. but I'm sure they are doing their best to fix it. Dr. Lang has a link on his blog to a free rpg database that's organized more throughouly: http://www.delicious.com/thefreerpgblog

Either that or ask Chainsaw Aardvark what you're searching for, he seems to have an encyclopedic knowledge of the games on the site. 8-)

Thanks, that was helpful. It got me to a number of promising games that I've downloaded.

Which games caught your interest? Some of those games were written by people who frequent these forums. Why don't you stick around a while, discuss stuff, it's a nice & friendly community.
