Location directory?

I have an idea. Perhaps a terrible idea, but an idea.

Because I’m a massive geek I also belong to yog-sothoth.com, which is a community site for various Lovecraftian roleplaying games.

One of the really awesome features is the Players Directory, which is a pretty cool map-based system which lets you locate local players or groups.

Now I figure a system like this where people can mark their locations and the locations of their schools (along with attached reviews) could be really useful, and probably cut down on the “any good schools in ‘x’” threads.

Could be a fun toy to have, just a suggestion.

Two questions:

1)Wtf is “lovecraftian”?

  1. How is your idea different from the location section in everyone’s profile besides the fact that it paints a pretty picture for people that have never seen a world map or can’t work the interwebz?

Lovecraftian means derived from the mythos developed by H.P. Lovecraft. Cthulu and tentacles and reanimators and shit. Think Hellboy.

I think his idea is different because all that information would be in one place, so you could search by place, instead of searching through the “location” fields in people’s profiles.

Ah, I saw that movie. Don’t remember too much lol.

And that does seem pretty cool as long as you could keep your info private if you wanted to.
