Introducing Roll Initiative, a celebration of all things tabletop gaming

GAMURS Group is expanding into the world of tabletop gaming with its brand-new site, Roll Initiative. Launched on June 16, Roll Initiative is a website focused on tabletop games like the beloved Dungeons and Dragons, and many more besides. With the new site, founding editor Aidan O’Brien “hopes to build something that becomes another thread in the rich tapestry that is the online gaming space,” as stated in Roll Initiative’s official announcement. Roll Initiative is a project built from pure passion for the hobby. “I fell in love with board games and wargaming when I first cracked open Hero Quest in 1989,” O’Brien explains. “Ever since, I have spent countless hours forming incredible memories with my fellow gamers.”  O’Brien also explained why he and GAMURS are making this big move now. “I truly believe that right now is one of the best times in the history of this industry. Passionate creatives are working on every kind of game you could imagine, and emergent technologies like 3D Printing allow people all over the world to ignore the limitations of logistics and geography and get their creations to people who can make them in their own homes. I want Roll Initiative to be a place that celebrates that creative ingenuity and helps to shine a light on the incredible talent at work all over the world.” So, what should you expect to see from Roll Initiative? O’Brien promises to do three things: “I will experiment with coverage, I will seek out news, and I will aim to talk to people in the industry about what they make and why.” To top it all off, he hopes to “show you a game you might not otherwise have heard of or introduce you to a book you might otherwise have missed.” With the site now fully launched, you can check out Roll Initiative and all of its upcoming content in the tabletop gaming sphere. If you’re a fan of tabletop, this is the perfect place for you. The post Introducing Roll Initiative, a celebration of all things tabletop gaming appeared first on Destructoid.
