On Monday, August 1st 2005 the first installment of a new blog carnival will be made. The RPG Carnival will highlight the best postings on roleplaying games made in the week prior. The are some conditions.
1. You must have a blog or journal. Posting to it on a regular basis is highly recommended
2. Your submission must be about RPGs in some fashion. Computer games do not qualify.
3. Keep your language clean. After all, kids might read it, and they usually have a better grasp of profanity than most adults. No sense in embarrassing yourself.
4. No subject is forbidden, but you are required to treat your subject in an adult fashion. If you're not sure about this requirement, don't deal with the subject in question.
5. Politics and religion are allowed, but keep condition 4 in mind.
6. When submitting through email be sure to include contact information, and the URL of your submission. I won't be posting your submission to my blog, instead I will be linking to your post along with a note about it. So a reliable link to it is required.
7. The deadline is the Friday prior.
That's it for conditions at the moment. Obviously things are subject to change. I have another, rougher version at The RPG Carnival at my blog. I have asked Bruce at The Conservative Cat to do a carnival submission form for The RPG Carnival. When said form is available I will be posting the link here.
For the nonce I will be hosting The RPG Carnival. I am looking for volunteers to host it on a rotating basis. Contact me via my email link in my sig below for information on hosting it.
For those of you not up on the blogosphere a carnival is a collection of links with commentary in the posts linked to. There are carnivals for most any subject you can think of, and a few that probably never crossed your mind. Some have been around for a long time, others are rather new. There are carnivals about medicine, skepticism, physics, Iraq, religion, and cats among many others. Two of the most well known are the Carnival of the Vanities and the Carnival of the Liberated from bloggers in Iraq.
So why The RPG Carnival? Basically, publicity. To get word out about RPG bloggers to fellow fans of roleplaying games, and to the general public. I have a small readership of my own, and no few of them have a much larger reader base. I hope they'll publicise this carnival.
In addition I'm signed up for a new enterprise known as Pajamas Media. We're not "on the air" yet, but we hope to hit the Internet soon. As a member I'll be able to promote The RPG Carnival via PJM.
For further information just use the email link in my sig below, or post in this thread. In case you're wondering, Pajamas Media will sign up most anybody with a blog. After all, they did take me.
