Why is L5R not listed in the "Playing Any of These Games " tab?

The topic title says it all.

The list isn't comprehensive and it looks to reflect what the community is actually playing. It's not perfect either.

Unfortunately, management decided to only permit listing games they thought had a certain minimum amount of representation on Roll20...which, of course, lowers the amount that unlisted games are played because you can't list them.... :-/ Hopefully, at some point, they'll permit listing any game someone wants to play. Cheers

Yeah, there are a few games I play that you can't select too... L5R, Big Eyes Small Mouth, etc

thanks for the responses

Kristen, if I can offer some feedback on that... While the current system prevents people from doing searches and finding nothing in their system... It also prevents them from doing searches period. Is there a single BESM game going on in roll 20? No idea. I can't find any, they aren't showing up in tags, they don't show up in game types. There are a million sub-categories for BESM as well, everything from Dominion Tank Police, to Tenchi Muyo, to Sailor Moon, to Cute and Fuzzy [Another word for chicken]-Fighting Seizure Monsters. So, I mean, I think that can be a problem as well.

I do think there should be a place to put the name of what you are playing, I run a Black Crusade game and I know of 5 other Black Crusade games going on here, just games I know of, if AT LEAST around 30 people use Black Crusade as a game system does that not allow it to have its own name in a list?

there is a place to catch a sheet template, and macro for dice roll for a L5R campaign???

Put the name of the game system at the start of the campaign description. It will then show up in the search results, and a potential player can see exactly what you mean by "Other Games" I don't know the exact numbers for how many people are playing Black Crusade, but I seriously doubt that 30 people (~6 campaigns) would be enough to qualify for an entry.

I dunno man. If that's how we're gonna parse it I can almost guarantee more people playing Black Crusade than say Mouse Guard.

Again, just to clarify... our hope is that if a system is stand-alone searchable it will always have a couple results. So that's probably closer to a couple hundred regular Roll20 players (because they'd need to be actively group-hunting). Our reasoning is that if we put a game up there that wouldn't produce constant results, that means someone comes along, searches for "My Favorite Gametype" in the LFG system, sees no results, and then doesn't come back to check later and see. So we're waiting on population growth to fill in more gaps. We'll be making some tweaks to the game list soon... but if there's something not currently on the list that you're aware of having the forums presence to make a case for being included on the search engine, let us know. I think L5R has a pretty good case for this.

Sorry bud, was not my intent to bother you. I'm brazilian and i need to gathering my group that really like to play L5R, by the way, i have a adventure to try to play with them on a virtual tabletop, but i don't know how... i thought to try on roll20, but i can't find a set of rules to do it.

Arnaud , Roll20 is system agnostic. It does not have any 'baked in' set of rules. It is designed to run (more or less) like your kitchen table game would by providing a place to put maps and dice to roll. Character sheets are community developed so if there is not a L5R character sheet yet I suggest going to the Character Sheets forum and asking if anyone is making one. What macros you decide you need for your game are up to the GM and players. There are no "pre-set" macros for any game system. However, if you or your players are having a hard time creating macros for your game then I suggest posting a thread in the Specific Use Questions forum and people will help with macro ideas.

My point was Game B in this case has a listing.

Arnaud, if you're not sure where to start with Roll20, you might find the Roll20 Help youtube channel useful. Our intrepid moderator Kristin just published a wonderful Crash Course series to suggest ways to get into making campaigns: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5HmaK9YMBMKoBqYnCeoxpQ" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5HmaK9YMBMKoBqYnCeoxpQ</a>
