"Editorials?"

[Morrus]

OK, it's been suggested quite a few times now. But are you guys interested? Have you any desire at all to read my ramblings as I blather on about whatever nonsense occurs to me this week? I mean, it doesn't matter what I think, but are you interested in hearing it anyway (despite the fact that it'll no doubt be an ill-informed, badly-conceived piece of codswallop?).

If you are, for some bizarre reason, interested - what would you like me to babble about? What I had for tea? What I thought of the latest TV show? What annoying things my dearly beloved girlfriend did this week? In other words - would you want it to stick to D&D/d20 stuff strictly, or would you be interested in reading about other topics (yes, I was joking about those sample topics....)?

How about just telling us all your random thoughts on D&D and d20. Just one a week or so. In the end though, it's your editorial so write whatever you wish mate!

I would think the topic would have some link to D&D/d20, if only tangential. As far as how much I'd like them, I guess I'll have to read a few before I really know. But I will read them, if that's any encouragement. Whatever you choose to write about, you can be sure that the threads that crop up in response will give you an idea how well your prose was received. If this crowd is anything, it's vocal.

I love editorials!

Yeah, Morrus, babble away! Mostly on gaming-related topics, of course. Roughly 1/week or as the mood takes you would be good. Industry politics, chainmail bikinis, dragon CRs... it's all good.

 

[Morrus]

Actually, someone on these boards has just unwittingly given me plenty of material for my first editorial.

 

[Eternalknight]

So does that mean you're going to do it?

 

[Morrus]

Not necessarily. But if I do it, I know what the first one will be about.

 

[Eternalknight]

Ah, fair enough. Well, let's hope you do!

 

[Morrus]

Anyone got a cool name for the column, should I decide to do it?

I would probably read it. I'm around these boards probably once a day, and normally I'm waiting on someone to post. A lot of times I don't find that many threads in the main forums that interest me, and I get "bored." I could see checking to see if there was a new editorial every other day...



Anything D20 or forum related would be interesting.

A good rant would be a nice read every once in a while. I'm ashamed at the decreasing quality of rants around here...

A good troll isn't a bad idea either...

A good synopsis of how much your job sucks is always fun to read. I know that qualifies for a rant, but I like to know the reasons why NOT to get into different career fields...

And think about the Economy: By you taking an hour or two out of every week to get an editorial together and put it online -your keeping hundreds of people busy reading it, thereby wasting thousands and millions of hours over the course of a year...
