I've got an idea for a new feature for my site that I've been banging around for a while now. It would be a series of columns detailing the "roleplaying scene" in different parts of the world - how the gamers look and dress, what games are popular, what games are only available in that country...

I have an idea for a new project for my site, The Escapist. I'm looking to talk to gamers who have run role-playing games at libraries as a YA program, or anything similar. If you've ever been involved in such a program, I'd really like to talk to you. Please email me at RPGadvocate@gmail.com...

I've got this lil' ol' website that is mere days away from turning 10 years old, and to celebrate, one of the new features that I plan on adding is a regular piece called "Tell Me About Your Character." Simply put, it's a series of interviews with gamers who answer questions about themselves...

I've got a friend who used to correspond with him years ago, and she's hoping to catch up with him again. Much obliged. - DocAwk

So, I've got this idea that's nagging me, and I'm hoping someone will be willing to brainstorm it with me. I've got this lil' ol' website, all about RPGs and getting more people involved and what not - I won't pimp it here, but check out the sig if you want to know more. Anyway, the idea...

Econocon in Plymouth, New Hampshire has invited me to be a Guest of Honor at this April's con! If you're in the New Hampshire area, stop on by and say hello! Details of the con are in my sig. W00T! - DocAwk

Remember that ancient 20 sided die that went up for auction a year or so ago - the one that EVERYONE posted a link to for three or four weeks? Sorry to post another, but I was wondering - is anyone making a reasonably priced replica of that die? I'm just thinking it would be cool to have. And...

...needs to be a poster. A big one. You know the one I mean. It's the two-page ad in the front of the latest Dragon and Dungeon mags. The one with a bunch of classic D&D characters having a brawl-fest in a tavern, while a guy in the back is climbing the statue from the original Player's...

I've got an idea for something I've been wanting to add to The Escapist for some time now: War Stories. This would be a collection of anecdotes from people who have encountered some form of negativity towards gaming, and neutralized it or even turned it into a positive. A good example would be...
