Thank you everyone for your participation in helping us decide on a new name for The War Room. After much deliberation, the staff has chosen to stick close to our roots and we will be using the name The War Room (Strategy and Story Games).
While we hope to see community growth through the changes we're implementing, we decided it was best to honor the history of the existing community and keep the identity of The War Room. However, some clarification in the title itself seemed necessary so new users would easily have a general idea what they would find here. Strategy games refer to the classic games we've hosted such as Mafia as well as some of the newer additions like Pokémon Chess and Defeat the Boss. Story games may come as a bit of a surprise. As you may know, we are disbanding the Roleplaying Games forum and redistributing its content. None of the current threads from that section will be moved here, but we hope to bring a bit of the spirit of roleplaying to The War Room by expanding on the types of games you may find here. We've discussed the possibility of more D&D style games and other story or character driven games that are more collaborative and less about strategy and PvP action. The new name of the section is intended to reflect both the traditional style of play here as well as the new directions we hope to expand in.
We will also be updating the forum description to better match our current goals for the section. We hope you enjoy the new content we'll be bringing and if you have any ideas for games or game systems you'd like to pitch to the staff you are more than welcome to do so at any time.
