I suck at organizing. Here’s my current dilemma. I’m putting together an RP night for my friends in my city (Baltimore), but I can’t find a way to send out invites to all of them.
I’ve done the leg-work, and reached a critical mass of people. The problem is that they use several different platforms (Email, Facebook, Tumblr, G+). There simply isn’t a common denominator.
We’ll be doing light-weight games that are episodic or one-shot. The central philosophy of this is to keep it simple and easy for the players.
What can I do? Here are the requirements.
– Only have to write one invite
– Can set a maximum event size
– Low barrier to entry (like being able to sign up with different social media platforms, and not email/password)
– Not a Google product (sorry, one of my key people is still on Yahoo and Google ecosystem just doesn’t work for him)
Or do I have to princess up and go multi-platform?
If you’re just looking for a simple scheduling tool, go with something like Doodle. Meetup is pretty good, but unless your goal is to attract new players, the considerable fees aren’t worth it. That said, you should consider expanding your reach. In my experience, it is really difficult to maintain a regular gaming schedule when your group consists of just a single, small group of people.

Side note: brand your game night Gauntlet Baltimore or something like that, and I’ll send you a box of fancy pears! You can even use our logo.

If you’re just looking for a way to notify people, rather than looking for a platform to actually organize a group, you can probably get by just using something like evite.

Use something like Evite or Eventbrite.

Thanks Kerry Harrison and Daniel Lewis . I’ll take a look at Evite. I’m a little leery of Eventbrite because I loathe their mobile app.
Jason Cordova I’ll send you some hangout messages about the exciting franchise opportunities.
