RPG Software Forum

[Vascant]

Don't know exactly what you are talking about but I have emailed.. I am going to leave it at that because it isn't the point.

Whatever I went thru I can't be alone, so I know if I have tried and failed, others have. Maybe people are busy, maybe people do not care, maybe users are not educated as to what they need to do exactly. I can only speak for myself there, I have always emailed someone and it happened.. I believe twice.. then suddenly stopped.

I just chalk it up to perhaps not interesting or not news worthy, it is hard for me to say because I do it everyday and so it is important to me. In other words, I have a very biased opinion. I look at it like this, if someone thinks I am doing something worth putting in the news, let me know and let me know how to tell you what else I am doing so make it easy on you, othersize I keep doing what I am doing (Which can't be to bad, 46 copies have sold since yesterday morning).

Anyways, the point is I do kind of agree with some points made that perhaps RPG Software and Utilities does not need it's own forum which is why I offered the other idea as a possible solution. After all, in life we should always seek to find ways to improve not just ourselves but those around us as well. So if I can help make it better for the next project, I am game

I've stated before I think your tool is very nice and certainly newsworthy when you hit your milestones. So, to make sure things aren't missed (which can easily happen if only emails are being sent) here is the best way to make sure your product releases make the news page.

Go to the main page of EN World. On the left side is a link called "Submit a Scoop". If you click that you can post a news item. From there it will go into a queue that the newshounds here moderate and post news from.

I am only trying to help, you mentioned you couldn't get your tool listed on the front page news and I trying to help you get that done in the most efficient manner as possible.

Thank you, ages ago I did that and I think it was more my mess up as to why it didn't do anything or go anywhere but I did have a question. Do I give you what I want to see as the news, or just the scoop and let the creativity of the news person handle the rest?

People do it either way. Some submit their press release which ends up getting edited down to a shorter format. Others have been submitting long enough to submit in a brief format that follows some of the style guidelines. If what you submit needs edited we can take care of it, if it looks good as is we can go from there. I would probably submit with what you want to see as news and then realize we may edit it down a little or just quote a particular snippet of the submission that makes the main page.
