So, what's the average wait time on players like these days? I remember these boards moving significantly faster, once upon a time.

Things definitely seems to be slower than before. I only have 2 players in my game, and that's been on the front page for more than a week. (Then again, maybe it's just not that interesting of a game)

Here's my question: Since it's so hard to get new players for games, what are some ways to get people to sign up?

To be honest, I've never had trouble grabbing players even despite my habit of immediately losing interest in everything I try to run. :V

Though, the usual rules for catching people's attention apply. The title should be something people find worth clicking on, and the OP should start with a reason to keep reading.
TL;DR Clickbait. Use clickbait.

Nothing wrong with advertising tastefully in different places. Your sigtext, for instance, the channels for idle chatter in other games you're a part of, b12 discords you're in, etc.

The players are often out there and willing, but just don't know their options.

I too do games. The series I use are a multiverse gimmick in which “clusters” fall under catergorybif one and other games in other clusters.

Current games are Urban fantasy/sci fi with shower of horror

Honest to goodness sci fi conflicts.

Survival community games

And combat sports. ( One is fantasy world gladiator. The other is basically Mad World, but crazier.)

I'm not very good at making RtD games: the rules keep getting overly complicated.

Wow, are RTDs apparently dead for now?

They’re declining in popularity, but I don’t think they’re dead yet.

We need less rules, character sheets and bloat, and more minimalists!

Does anyone have a theory for why they have declined in popularity?

Could well be, things are getting quieter here, and have been for years.

Anyway, someone asked for a stupid minimalist RTD?

There's just more people around in FG&RP instead of the subforum these days.

I’m part of that, it’s fun so far, also, I had an RTD that got complicated quickly, maybe I can bring the characters to a Minimalist world? There is a portal to...somewhere...after all

I've noticed that a lot of the RTDs that have started recently have been put in forum games instead of RTD.
