NICE.. NICE!!! This is the awesomer awesomeness! THANK YOU! I wasn't expecting such a good turnout for the carnival, especially since I'm somewhat of a newb in the RPG Blogger community. OK, now I'll go read it. =D

Here we go with my contribution!

@ Bryant : Welcome to TheCoreMechanic and wohoo! thanks for contributing to the Carnival. With your contribution I've instantly 1) found a new blog to read, and 2) found another host for the Carnival. I'll add you to the list and be in touch soon about details once the first Carnival comes out around the 29th.

THANKS AGAIN!

(now I'll go read what you wrote...)

thanks all! this is going to be great. Hopefully participation will continue and we can get this Carnival to be a regular staple of the RPG Blogging community.

Here's my contribution, about Death and Superheroes: http://blog.microlite20.net/2008/08/15/blog-carnival-death-and-superheroes/

It's a Dead Man's Blog Post.

Thanks for starting this carnival, Jonathan. Fun stuff.

If I get inspired I'll throw together an undead themed playlist before the dealine too. I've got over a gig of Halloween music lurking on a disc or two somewhere...

Yes, a bit off topic - anyhow: I'm playing 4E with my group. I know there are websites out there that host organized play by email or play by post games. Can't find the links right now (i don't play PbE or PbP games, so I don't have them book marked) However, I can say that I've lived in about 4 or 5 different cities in the last 16 years, all of which I've eventually found a group to game with - the trick is to be willing to introduce the game to new people (most of the other people I gamed with had never played D&D before). Of course, since I'm a DM it makes things a bit easier I suppose, but there's nothing that says you could do the same. Maybe a good idea would be write a post for your blog that is about how to find a group - and then in it add that you are also looking for one. Sort of, self advertising. best of luck - JJ

Sorry to change subject a little, but does anybody play dnd 3e, or 3.5e online? AIM, perhaps? I'm desperately looking for a game. It's been a while since I've played. I need some dnd. I've only played 3.0e, but I'm willing to learn 3.5e. I know this isn't the best place for it, but I'm hoping for some help, here.

thanks for sending in your contributions guys! spread the word and lets make this Carnival huge! A good start could make this carnival a staple of the RPG blogosphere.

I like the idea. It's a good way to share advice and general information. I've created a post about PC Deaths. Here's the URL:

Here's my submission I'd like to kill Wordpress' autoformatting though!

2008-08-07T21:58:00.000-04:00

I think I'd be willing to give it a whirl, especially since the first topic includes one of my favorites - The Undead.

2008-08-07T19:38:00.000-04:00

@ DAVE : Great! Its good to know that _someone_ has tried this before in the RPG community. The same is true for me though - I haven't found any that are active right now. Post the links, if you can, maybe this thing can evolve into something better.

@ Donny : Hey hey! I think the idea for a 1 week carnival is a great one; but my worry would be that word would not 'get out' fast enough and some people who might want to participate would miss the ticket. One article from each blog, over the course of a month, is not too much to ask - at least it doesn't seem so to me. If, and when, this carnival takes off then a 1 week window may be more doable. My experience with carnivals on the science side of things is that they usually run for about a month or so; then the host blogs about it. The rpgcarnival site would mainly be for maintaining a record of past carnivals all in one place.

I also agree - I'm _not_ trying to send readers in too many directions. I also hope that no one is thinking I'm trying to compete with RPG Blogger Network. Not at all. If anything, a carnival would would work well with "The Network", not compete with it.

So, Dave and Donny - either of you up for writing a piece on death, resurrection, or the undead? Maybe something from your archives? (old material is good too).

2008-08-07T16:11:00.000-04:00

cool idea, with a lot of promise. Propose 1 week of every month carnival week. I only suggest this because a whole month of one topic could conceivably get pretty lame.

The "host" picks label, we submit to RPGcarnival...or something like that. Don't like the idea of ANOTHER compilation site, sending readers in too many directions and such.

Just my thoughts.

2008-08-07T15:28:00.000-04:00

There are a few blog carnivals that cover RPGs floating around, but they never seem to have infiltrated the blogs I read. I'll try to dig some out later. I know I've been in a tabletop game carnival that covered both RPGs and boardgames, and that was through Yehuda's blog.

2008-08-07T13:42:00.000-04:00

Yes, players can write as well as game masters! and this is and should NOT be just about D&D - any PnP RPG is welcome.

I've created a new blog to serve as a place holder for all the RPG Blog Carnivals as they close. It can be found at
