Our Mission

Planet fall took place on May 8th 2000. The GROG (aka the Roleplayer's Guide to the Galaxy) is an interplanetary non-profit organization whose mission is to reference every roleplaying game ever published in its supra-luminic database.

You want to be kept informed of the latest publications, know what is in every book, their cover, differences between the original version and the translation, search through grand'pa oldies, look for a precise title, browse through themes or publishers ?

Moreover, the GROG is an interactive web site : you can enrich the database by entering your own critiques, be they praises or slanging matches, regarding published games. There are also further services :
homebrewed games database,
web portal dedicated to rpg sites
,
conventions calendar
,
distributed news engine
,
french upcoming releases,
magazines and fanzines,
and much more to be discovered online.

The Guide is far from being complete. It contains so far only an infinitesimal part the rpg books published so far but our long term goal is to reference them ALL. Ambitious ? you bet... Crazy ? undoubtedly... Interesting ? It's up to you to let us know.

Do you feel your soul is one of a galactic roleplayer's ? Do you feel the urge to join our crew and work to spread further and again the database, up to the infinite and beyond ? Then come have a look at our recruitment centre.

You are webmaster of a rpg web site and wish to know how to get interfaced with the GROG ? Then dock your ship here.

You are a game publisher and want to know how the GROG can help you ? This page is for you.

You are a beginner to roleplaying games and want to know more about them ? Go take a look at our friends of FFJDR (French Roleplaying Games Federation). They will tell you all you need to know about our passion.

How to enroll

How to help the intergalactic team of special agents roaming the universe, seeking after roleplaying games unseen for eons or still trying to uncover the last tome of Tunnels & Trolls lastly published in Betelgeuse?

That's simple: you can contact the Administrator and join the team to participate to the inventory and archiving of roleplaying games, supplements and related books. Compulsive collectors are always welcome! And if you are in a hurry, your galactic roleplayer pack is already available on the left column.

Lastly, an elite corp of genetically-enhanced people called the Watchers is in charge of weaving a web of vigilance around the galaxy. Nothing escapes them and thanks to their work, we have the latest and most up to date news and previews of the galaxy. It is said that, with time and experience, they become prescient and can feel when a book will be delayed. Do you have the guts to join that team?

Otherwise, if you simply prefer to give you point of view on the games and supplements already in the database to advise fellow roleplayers, you can do it by entering your critique on the product of your choice.

The guide is an open site where everyone can take and bring whatever (s)he wants. Come give a hand.

The GROG team.
