Indie+ is an online indie RPG convention to be held in mid-July 2012 on Google+. It is an opportunity for small publishers, bloggers, podcasters and others to work together and raise the profile of independent gaming.

When: July 9th – 15th
Organizers: Chris Tregenza, Brent P. Newhall, plus many others.

Unlimited Adventures – Limited Commitment

The aim of Unlimited Adventures – Limited Commitment is to encourage both DMs and Players to try new games. Not in a one shot, see ya later sort of scenario, but over 2 to 3 sessions. Long enough for players and GMs to feel they hopefully gained something from the experience.

When: Continuous
Organizers: Erik Tenkar, Michael Garcia
More Information: Goal Statement, Other Postings and Game Calendar


Gameplay is a playtesting network where members can playtest games and have their games playtested. It’s an online-only group that uses Tabletop Forge with G+ Hangouts to organize and play games.

When: Continuous
Organizers: Unknown
More Information: Google+ Page, Calendar


Not enough to flll your plate? There are also some FLAILSNAILS games happening. Many of those are flagged under the ConstantCon effort. ConstantCon also has a calendar of games.


I would be remiss not to mention Tabletop Forge. Many of the games being run utilize this great Hangout Application.

Tabletop Forge is a Google+ Hangout application that lets your play tabletop roleplaying games inside of a Google+ Hangout. It includes things like dice rolling, whispering, and map functions.

The developers (Charles Jaimet, Joshua Owen, et al.) of the application are running a Kickstarter campaign to make an excellent product even better.

  • Have you heard of Roll20’s virtual table top? It has a stand alone function and can be used as an App in Hangouts. They’re in open beta still, I think. I admit that I’ve only glanced at Tabletop Forge vs. Roll20 that I’ve looked more closely at, but Roll20 definitely seem like the greater application IMHO. I’d definitely suggest checking it out (Roll20.net) as I’m going to do the same for TF above.

    • I’ve heard of Roll20 but have not taken a close look at it. I wasn’t aware they supported angout playing. Thanks for pointing it out. I’ll take a closer look.
