Rpg Advertising


Jean Valjean

:kaukau: Many people have tried a large variety of ways of advertising their RPGs. Sometimes they try to give it a catchy title or description, sometimes they put it in their signature as a banner or large link. I have tried both of those, as well as making it look sophisticated and well thought out, but I am considering another method of advertising, one that I have only seen Robo use before.

 

I got the idea when I was reading the back of the book Brisingr (a filler, if you ask me). There, if I remember correctly, it read, "Praise for Eragon", and also "Praise for Eldest". This is used in quite a few books. You get quotes from all sorts of critics and magazines, all casting the book in a positive light. Why? Of course the author wants their book cast in a positive light. It's a good form of advertisement. It averts your attention to the book. It gives the reader the impression that the book is worth reading.

 

Now let us convert this to an RPG. I am considering adding a section right before the character list within my own TBRPG entitled "Praise for Amakor" once I have enough quotes to put in there. Once people read this, one might think that it is not merely some mediocre RPG and consider being an active member. I mentioned before, Robo has also done this. Specifically, he put a quote from a fellow RPer who gave a compliment on his RPG, Reality. It was quite a clever maneuver. Actually, it made me a little more enthusiastic while in his TBRPG for a little while.

 

This technique of RPG advertisement is clearly quite rare. It would probably also be nothing to discourage, as it could be a descent advertising trick, as good as all the other conventional ones, and could improve the popularity of your TBRPG. Since it is uncommon at the moment, it will certainly give you points in terms of uniqueness.

Well, That is a very very very very very awesome idea! I hope you don't mind if I use it for Reality as well? Cause I'm gonna :D

Brilliant! When I start the TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) RPG, I should do this! It should be a lot better than the "PLEASE! JOIN MY RPG NOW!" thing I was going to do. :P

:kaukau:Yeah, I've seen that before. Yet, you know me, EW. There's no way I would part with this current banner. However, thanks for making me more knowledgeable. It might come in handy knowing that.

:kaukau:Oooooooooooh. I see what you mean. Perhaps it would work, but considering how many people on BZPower claim that they "have no life outside of BZPower", it probably wouldn't. :P
