If they are on the GSL (sent us the confirmation card) we'll add them.

Also, We will be adding our official D&D licenses to the page including those companies that translate D&D to non-English languages (like 25th Edition in Italy) and other licenses like Jinx t-shirts.

It will get more prominence on the new web site

Like Apple promotes the 3rd party apps for the iPhone, the 3rd party stuff can enhance the base product.

I mean, without Shazam, the iPhone is just a cell phone.

I have wanted to do this for a while, but giving credit where credit is due, Paizo's page got the match under my foot to get it done.

New web site? Does this mean what I hope it means? if so, let me be the first to say:

OMG!

The website overhaul was announced as being in the works for a long while now, though I'm not sure if they ever made a formal announcement, or if it came out via one or more posts on the WotC forums, etc.

I must have missed that. Thanks. Although there is a big difference (in my mind) between an overhaul and a new website. Also the fact that Scott talks about it (again?) could indicate that things are moving along - or at least we could hope so.

Perhaps there'd be a spot on the page where each publisher's logo would take turns appearing . . .

Or, you know, since you already have banner ads, publishers could get free turns taking up that slot.

The page will be similar to what we have now. A list of links, logos, and blurbs to re-direct to publishers.

As you can imagine the ad space on the site is pretty dear. Sometimes even internal groups fight over the space and will be used for WOTC brands.

What outside-company advertising opportunities does WotC have these days? Can you direct me to a link where a game company can find information on how to advertise through WotC avenues, the website, the mags, product end pages, etc.?

Mark,

At one point in time there were outside ads on the WOTC site managed through Google but we have stopped accepting outside advertising and all the banner spaces on the WOTC pages will be dedicated to in house marketing.

The exception would be uses like the GSL partners page and other news items or promotion we give to other companies.

Mark · 8th June 2009, 08:35 PM

Thanks, Scott.

Yeah, I didn't really think that was realistic

More publishers added today!

Keep 'em coming, we are anxious to get more links posted.

Scott, would it trouble you to verify the list there?

I have confirmed the list except for these:

Misfit Studios
Postmortem Studios

It may be those were submitted under individual names (with no company name) and thus I am not matching the record of the person and company.

There are 93 total SOAs on file so there are still a lot not captured here.

It's really awesome to be posted up there; thanks a lot for this page!

Now I just wish we'd named the company with underscores, like _Silent7Seven_ or just 7Games or something so we'd be at the top of the page
