Idea: A "Spotlight" Forum

[Morrus]

We've been throwing around some thoughts in the mod forum, and here' something that sounds like it could be fun. What do you think?

Spotlight Forum - each week, a different game is voted as the week's spotlight. All threads in the Spotlight Forum are about that game. At the end of the week, the threads are moved off to their correct forum (and properly tagged for easy finding) and a newly voted game takes the spotlight.

For each spotlight we do a couple of things:

• We try to get in touch with the company/author in question and invite them to answer questions and participate for the week. This won't always be possible, especially with older games or companies which we can't persuade to participate, but we can try!
• We also try and ask the company to offer a cool prize (something physical if possible) and run a competition of some kind as well.

Does this sound like something you'd enjoy or participate in?

Sounds like a fantastic way to get new exposed to new games!

 

[Olgar Shiverstone]

Sure. Throw in a Kickstarter forum and I'm sold.

 

[DM Howard]

Sounds awesome! I agree with Olgar Shiverstone as well, Kickstarter forum please!

 

[Umbran]

Guys, this isn't about a kickstarter forum. Please take that to a different discussion. Thanks.

I like the idea. There are a lot of older games that just never get talked about that should.

 

[Morrus]

So we need some suggestions! Who should we approach first? Ideally, it would be nice to have a good launch with some active publisher participation. What game would you like to talk about?

 

[Crothian]

Dungeon Crawl Classic. It is relatively new and popular, but doesn't get discussed around here like D&D and Pathfinder do.

We have a volunteer as a first victim!

(@Crothian, I'll be sure to try to see if Joe Goodman's interested!)

Our first spotlight game will be SHADOWRUN, starting on Monday!

 

[Crothian]

Shadowrun is good one too.
