Yesterday, two ideas that had been floating around for awhile finally banged together in my head: Why not create a public photo group where gamers all over the world can share photos of the places where they game?
So I did. It’s called Gaming Spaces [1], and it’s a photo group on Flickr [2], a nifty (and free) photo-sharing site.
We’ve talked about gaming spaces on TT before, in VV_GM’s guest post Setting Up Your Game Space [3] and in the forum thread on proxemics and gaming environments [4]. It was the collision with Avlor’s Flickr group suggestion for GM’s Day [5] that made me decide to give this a shot.
It’s pretty sparse right now, but I’m hoping that will change. I don’t know about you, but I love seeing how other GMs set up their gaming spaces — it gives me all sorts of ideas for how to improve my own little slice of heaven.
If that grabs you, I hope you’ll join the group and post some photos of your own!

Great idea! One of these weekends I’ll have to take a few pics and post them to the site.

I’m a Flickr noob as well. I found the “send to pool” link just above each of my pictures — click on one of your photos and check the line of stuff right above it. I believe “add note” is the first link.
There’s probably a batch option, too, if you have a lot of pictures.

Ah, thanks! I was looking for that option from the Your Pictures page instead of opening each picture in turn.
I did it and it worked and go check it out! 🙂

We’re up to 33 members and 48 photos in the pool — not a bad start, and it’s great to see all of the different gaming spaces that folks have shared so far.
