There's a tradition on Twitter called Follow Friday, where you post a hash tag (#followfriday or #ff) and list interesting people you follow and think others should follow. The only problem with Follow Friday is that in 140 characters it's difficult to explain who these people are (unless their Twitter username is their own name, and they're well known) or why they should be followed. To carry on the tradition of 101 RPG geeks you should follow on Twitter, each Friday here at Examiner.com will feature a random selection of Twitter users worth your attention.

RPG Bloggers Edition The word has gone out that the founders of the RPG Bloggers Network are stepping down and looking to hand operations over to someone else.These four guys did an amazing thing, creating not just a simple blog agreggator but a thriving community. Whatever the future may bring, this edition of the Follow Friday 5 is dedicated to them.

Dave Chalker (@DaveTheGame) is the Editor-in-Chief of Critical-Hits.com and the Executive Director of the RPG Bloggers Network.

Philippe-Antoine Menard (@ChattyDM) is one of the most popular RPG bloggers around. You can read his stuff at Musings of the Chatty DM.

Graham Poole (@ve4grm) is the tech support wizard of the network. His RPG bog is Critcal Ankle Bites.

Danny Rupp (@bartoneus) is the Managing Editor of Critical-Hits.com, and likes to try to downplay his role in creating the network.

That, however, is only four. Our fifth person to followis Chris Tregenza (@6d6fireball). Tregenza has been running an agressive campaign to take over, and has a vision of transforming the network into The Democratic Republic of RPG Bloggers. Rather than a closed system run by a few, he has a dream of a network run  by the network. Whether network operations will be handed over to him, and whether his plan will succeed, remains to be seen.
