I think I need to start using the tag #tabletop-rpg for my roleplaying stuff. It seems to be where all the cool people post :)

Well, we are certainly giving it a go.
The only way this sort of thing spreads is organically, and that provides its own level of challenge. The more people who use it, however, the more likely it is to attract attention for more people who are interested in that kind of content.
Yeah the rpg community has felt a little fractured right now.
It's always been fractured. Anyone that tells you differently is trying to sell you something.
Well, outside of the "big one", D&D, the industry has always been a fractious, relatively tiny vanity industry. Trying to do anything with a community as a whole is very much like trying to herd cats or manage programmers. It's very much a fiction to suggest that "the RPG community" exists. Even on really large RPG-centric social networking sites like RPGNet, the level of divisiveness and factionalization is pretty significant.
If anything, the interest in RPGs on Steemit has the advantage of a relatively small population, though they do tend toward partially being backers of D&D and relatively lesser experience outside of that.
I can't disagree with what you said, even if I want to (and I really DO want to).
Regardless, while the goal is lofty (to put it as a major understatement. It is, let's be honest, a pipe dream at best), I think stating that as the goal will do more good than harm.
Lol. I don't know about "all the cool people" but there is definately some!
That being said, the post(s) that started it all can be found here:
Feel free to read and resteem (even if its more than 7 days old!) https://steemit.com/steemit/@petersonsdc/one-tag-to-rule-them-all-roleplayers-unite
It's not much, but I like the idea. I didn't do a straight resteem because I wanted to add my own support. I hope that is okay. Felt like I was in a new area for me when it came to Steem protocol.I tried to give you a little signal boost on my feed: https://steemit.com/tabletop-rpg/@rantar/table-top-rpg-tags
It's absolutely okay. I don't own it, hell I didn't even originate the idea. I basically did what you did - was inspired by a previous post and generated content of my own.
I will check it out
