Community Tabletop Blog Project!

edited February 2007 in Critical Failures
Ok guys, for awhile now I've owned and ran a blog called Dice Theory. It's goal was to be ran by gamers and be a BoingBoing of the tabletop game world. However, due to certain problems, the blog kinda dropped off the face of the Earth. But now, with the help of Elfword, I'm ready to bring it back with the help of ODAM. Much like how G&T has the Platformers, I'd like to bring to ODAM a quality gaming blog covering all aspects of gaming such as RPGs, Miniatures, Board games, Card games and so forth. We'll be covering cool links, homebrew fan stuff, some reviews of products, suggestions for campaigns and PCs, tips and advice and so on. Also, we plan to start having a podcast show every few weeks or so.

Right now, we need several writers to cover various games categories. If anyone is interested at all in writing pieces for the blog, I can send you invites. I'm in the middle of changing the blog around and while it'll keep the same look, the layout is being shifted to increase usability.

I really hope this can become a great resources for you ODAMers and the gaming community at large.

    Sounds kinda nifty.

    I don't know if I'm much of a blogger, but I have a rather nice set of D&D house rules I could toss in, plus I'm doing some writing for Fantasy Flight Games in their Midnight d20 setting.

    Drop me a line if you're interested.

    This is the kinda stuff we are very interested in. I'd like to have a big directoy of stuff people are working on. If you think you'd be a good writer, I can send you an invite and see how you do or you can drop me a .doc or a copy somehow of your rules and I'll post 'em up on the site.

    This sounds like a cool project. Don't think I'd be any good for writing but I'll definitely stay in touch with this when it takes off.

    I am interested in this, mostly for the sake of Warhammer 40k.

    I am not sure quite in what form I can contribute. I don't mind writing.

    I'd really like to have someone cover Warhammer 40K, as I don't play it and it's popular enough that it needs someone looking out for stuff on it. If you are interested in writing for the blog, then post your email and I'll hand out invites.

    I've no problem covering some of the 40k stuff, provided someone defines 'cover' a bit better.

    Hey Talon,

    I've recently fallen in love with the old Greyhawk campaign setting all over again, and would be willing to write articles to help other DMs find the vast amount of cheap and free material that is out there and spark up some ideas of their own.

    Also I could post adventure hooks, things from the setting that I've converted over to 3.5, and maybe write up a module now and then based upon things I've done in my own campaign.

    Community effort could be built from a site like this too, like maybe to do things like detail features where information is scarce or unavailable (man, could I ever use some help making a map of Spinecastle).

    If you think people would be interested in that, I can contribute.

    All of this is awesome. Hit me up with an addy and I'll get an invite to you. Everyone else has invites on the way and I'm looking forward to seeing your cool stuff. I'm in the middle of putting up some stuff from my Novo Aether game currently.

    I'd love to have adventure hooks ready to go, modules, etc. That'd be awesome.

    I'll send you the document, but if you set up a mailinglist, I figured it'd be easier for you if you could get my e-mail off this site too.
