We need more Newshounds

[Old Fezziwig]

I've gotten it fixed, so I'm all set and ready to go. Sorry about that, folks. I'll have my eyes on the Wizards site tonight and today.

Best,
tKL

This may be an odd question, but is there a way to add a section on sites that carry the EN News Feed or even pub sites where one could click on a button and send a "quick notice" to a News Hound to make them aware of News or an Event. Poster Bard is pretty good about getting CMG News to the EN World News page as scoops, but maybe something like this would be a failsafe sort of thing... *shrug*

Sorry, Mark - I don't understand what you mean. Could you clarify for me? Thanks!

Super!

I'm sure that this is obvious to you, but I thought I'd help point out the various places at Wizards.com where you'll find updates (they're not all in one place, unfortunately):

D&D Page: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/main.asp?x=dnd/welcome,3

D20 Modern Page: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=d20modern

Forgotten Realms Page: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/main.asp?x=fr/welcome,3

Star Wars RPG Page: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=starwars/mainrpg/rpg

Wheel of Time Page: http://www.wizards.com/wheeloftime/main.asp?x=welcome,3

Cthulhu Page: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=cthulhu [doesn't seem to be working right now, though]

Books Page: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=books

Not strictly WotC, but also here's the Gen Con Page: http://www.gencon.com/

Of all those, only the D&D page is updated daily. The rest are occasional and sporadic.

I've also just given you access to the Newshounds forum.

That's actually wicked helpful, Morrus. I'll be sure to go ahead and bookmark those links (well, those I haven't already).

thanks,

OK, my name being taken in vein again, tut!

Well seeing as I'm always after help from people for editing the reviews site I thought I should probably put my hand up here as well. Perhaps just two or three medium sized publishers sites you want me to keep an eye on every couple of days (and hey, I can also use the information I gleem to update the d20 reviews site )? Just suggest away and I'll get too it...

Sorry, Mark - I don't understand what you mean. Could you clarify for me? Thanks!

Well, someone suggested something along the lines of an automated service that sends a notification everytime a site gets updated but d20 pubs make chanegs all the time and some of them are housekeeping moreso than news worthy information. I guess I was just kicking around the idea of a button or something that would be a more delibearate notification that required actual clicking to get an Email sent in. I'm not real sure about the idea, as I said, just throwing it out to see if it could be tweeked into something useful. *shrug*

Newshounds still sought.. training provided.
All you have to do is check a few sites we assign you on a twice-weekly basis, and submit if you see an update. Easy as Pi.

Edit: Shoot. I should read.
