Need some help getting to the gaming table?
Play More Gamez is a place for gamers to hang out with friends and plan their next gaming adventure.
If you play Board Games like Settlers of Catan and Caylus; Role Playing Games (RPG) like D&D, Shadowrun, and Kobolds ate my Baby; Miniatures like Warhammer and Classic Battletech; CCGs like Magic: The Gathering, Live Action Role Playing Games (LARP) like Vampire: the Masquerade; or even traditional card games like Poker and Bridge, then Play More Gamez is for you.
Why the !&??##! should I join another gaming site?
It's a fair question. After all you have Facebook and Twitter, plus two or three other websites dedicated to board games or RPGs. Your local gaming group probably has it's own mailing list, your favorite game store posts events on their website, and, when you remember, you can even connect with other gamers on the websites of your favorite game publishers.How's that working out for you?
If you are like me, even with (or because of) all those sites you still aren't gaming as often as you'd like. You tell yourself it's because you are too busy, but sometimes you wonder. What about the gaming opportunities that are getting lost in the shuffle? (continue reading)
Too Long; Didn't Read
Play More Gamez lets you keep all of your gaming related relationships and events (public and private) in the same place, keeps them from getting lost in the shuffle of the non-gaming aspects of your life, and serves as a platform to introduce you to new gamers, games, gaming websites and opportunities to play more often.
Let the world know what kind of gamer you are!
If there is one thing gamers know it's that every occasion deserves a t-shirt

Iris: A Gaming Network :: Index
Though there are many individual women gamers who write about their experiences, and many sites for women who game to connect and play with each other, none of these sites are there for the express purpose of highlighting gamers (both in the industry and outside of it) and bringing women's perspectives into the mainstream. It may be a lofty goal, but that's exactly what we here at Iris aim to do.0 points
