arrpee directory?

I apologize if this has been asked before, but I've gone through a couple tags and haven't found the answer, so my question is this: is there any way to see what kind of games are active on IJ right now in a directory anywhere, or is it better to check through a search engine? Or, ugh, should I be checking some of the major RP ad comms, and if so, which is the best to check?

tyia!

	There are some advertising comms - the main one I think is wanna_rp. In all honesty I'm not sure why there are multiple comms, wanna_rp is the main one. On the profile of that there is also a list of others though. :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Depends on what kind of games you're looking for! There's pbads for your town/city/faux games and rps for celeb. Anything else, I wouldn't personally know about but I know they do exist so hopefully someone else can help you out! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The main reason I'm looking at all is to check if a certain premise exists before I consider making a game. Google gave me zero results, but I just wanted to be sure. ty though! (Reply to this) (Parent)

darkersls also tends to get a lot of ads that may not be on ~pbads.

i sort of wish there were a directory, since there are a lot of games out there still active that don't advertise as often as others so they're easy to miss. i used to run a game directory for marvel/superhero games on gj - the major problem with maintaining a directory is it's often difficult to tell when a game has closed if you're not in it.

There's

rpg_catalogue but other than that there's just the ad communities everyone else already gave you. If it's not a town, celeb, Harry Potter, or panfandom game than you'll probably be pretty good to go as far wanting to make sure you're not doing a premise already out there. lol I can't blink without seeing a Harry Potter or panfandom game when scrolling through wanna_rp.

	Haha, yes, I figured as much. It's so hard to wade through the HP games sometimes. ty! (Reply to this) (Parent)
