RFD for unmoderated group uk.games.roleplay

Name:
       uk.games.roleplay

Summary:
uk.games.roleplay      For Role Playing addicts to meet and discuss games.

Rationale:
       I feel that it will fit into the current uk.games.* hierarchy,
       as this seems to be the only other aspect of gaming missing.
       And if it gets too busy, it could, in the future, be broken
       down into more specialised areas (i.e. uk.games.roleplay.dnd,
       uk.games.roleplay.vampire).

Even though there are already relevant newsgroups under the
       rec.games.frp.* and alt.games.frp.* hierarchy, a UK group would
       allow all UK players to have a local meeting point.

Charter:
       The proposed new newsgroup is for UK (and visitors) Role
       Playing addicts to meet and arrange games throughout the UK.
       Also it may be used for (but not limited to) the discussions of
       new and old games, rules, large game meetings (i.e. GenCon).

It will be used for all types of role-playing, including (but
       not limited to) Live Action (i.e. Amber, V:TM), Play By Mail,
       Dice (ie.  AD&D, Shadowrun).

Binaries:
       Binaries are not allowed in this newsgroup.  Instead URL's
       pointing to binaries should be given.

Advertising:
       Lengthy and/or off-topic posts are not welcome. Short (less
       than 20 lines) announcements of RELEVANT products, services and
       events, inviting e-mail inquires or suggesting URL's for
       further information, are allowed.

Moderated:
       no

Period for discussion:
       I believe this to be a straightforward matter and would request
       the minimum 10 days discussion period, after which I will make
       a request for the matter to be processed by the "fast-track"
       method.
