Anyone wanna be a newshound?

Heh. BTW, in case we use fictional reporter names, I'll take April O'Neil (from TMNT).

I wouldn't mind doing my bit. Let me know if there's any area I can help with.

I was wondering when you would turn up. *chuckle*

I'm interested

Are you still looking for newshounds?
I'm interested in the job.

I am a very regular user of the internet.

I'm an expatriate living in Moscow and am just starting a D&D campaign here, so the internet is an essential tool for me as local gaming shops are very limited. I check enworld.org, svgames.com, gamingreport.com, canonfire.com, and a few others almost daily.

That said, I don't know much about html programming, if that is a major requirement.

I'm interested because I'd like to become more familiar to D&D resources on the internet and learn more about how to keep abreast with the D&D world using the internet.

Cool - more people! Any thoughts on what you'd like to cover, specifically?

 

[johnsemlak]

I'm flexible, but my only source of info is the internet, I should say.

I guess I'm most interested in D20 system news and WotC news, though only what's available on the net.

 

[Krug]

I'm flexible as well. Maybe d20 system news?

As for Lois Lane, I'll keep Krug.

 

[Morrus]

OK, Summary so far. These are the people who have volunteered and the areas they've indicated a preference for:

Krug: D20 System
johnsemlak: D20 System, WotC
Darkness: WotC
omokage: D20 System, Software, Tangential
Khan: D20 System
Tsyr: Tangential
trickey: None specified yet.

Plus possibly Buttercup for a book related thingy.

My suggestion, therefore as a breakdown:

• D20 System: Krug, john, Khan (this will be the biggest area, so 3 people are probably needed)
• WotC: Darkness (D&D, WoT, SW, Cthulhu etc.)
• Software: Omokage
• Tangential: Tsyr
• Community: trickey

Good with everyone?

Posting news - the easiest way to do it, I think, is with tags. The subject line would then look like ths:

[D20] Dark Fiery Necromancer Press announces Jinx D20

or

[WotC] New monsters for Call of Cthulhu posted

Here's my suggested list of tags:

[D20]
[WotC]
[Com]
[Soft]
[Tang]

 

[Krug]

Sounds fine to me.

OK, I'm giving you guys the abillity to start threads in the news forum; others can reply, but cannot initiate a thread. We'll try this for a week, and then we'll see how it's going.
