Hey all! This is just a quick reminder that there is less than 1 week left for NOMINATIONS to the Anthology! So, if you haven't already done so - please nominate a post or two from your favorite RPG blog for inclusion in the Anthology as soon as possible!

Here are some useful links -

I like it. I will throw my hat in, when this has got a little more meat hanging from these bones.

Until then, I will be watching with interest...

...Of course, the author will
have to consent to have the post published before the Anthology is
released. Let me be clear

-- no published post from any blog will be published without the
blogger's consent --

Last night I surfed around and posted comments on several blogs where
I really loved the post and told them that I submitted their post for
_consideration_. In the future, I will be more clear and let people
know that their work will not be published unless they consent. I am
merely following the same format that the crew at Open Laboratory
followed while assembling the Science Blog Anthology. Blog readers
submit their favorite blog post - the blogger who authored it is then
asked for permission - and if it passes review, it was published. It
becomes a logistics problem if we first have to ask the bloggers
themselves to release their material before it is nominated for
inclusion into the Anthology.

i hope this clears up some things. Also, on my main page I'll have a "clarifications" post about Open Game Table so that some of these issues can be addressed.

Hey everyone! Just a quick update... in order to focus our discussion about this project a bit more, I've created a google groups that I would ask you all to join. Please visit the OPEN GAME TABLE google group and sign up.

I also want to encourage everyone who has left a comment here to submit at least two blog posts to the Anthology for review: 1 of your own posts and 1 post by another blogger that you enjoyed reading and consider a "must read" for gamers.

The submission for the Anthology is here: The submission for the Anthology is here: http://rpganthology.wufoo.com/forms/open-game-table-2008/

You can submit as many posts as you want, the more the better at this point since we have only received two entries thus far.

Again.. thank you for your support! This is going to be a hellalot of fun to put together and a great experience for many of us who are complete publishing n00bs (me). I'm looking forward to moving this project forward!

I'm in too. I have experience editing, so I'll volunteer for that. I'll also volunteer for judging and will also submit some articles.

I'll also provide a post... Keep us posted.

2008-10-13T08:03:00.000-04:00

Hey all! WOHOO! thanks for all your supporting comments! There are a number of issues to work out, of course, which include (but are not limited to) intellectual property rights (IP), d20 license / GSL, artwork, format (as in size), cost for materials, price point (cheap), etc etc. I have no doubt all these things can be worked out, and I'm really looking forward to working with all of you!

2008-10-13T01:45:00.000-04:00

I wouldn't mind helping out with such a project, time permitting, although my artistic skills are not so much lacking as nonexistent.

2008-10-13T00:55:00.000-04:00

Hey again, Jonathan. I forgot to mention that my experience level is... intermediate? I have a degree in professional communications with a focus on creative and technical writing, and about three years of experience writing and editing for software, film production, and local magazines.

2008-10-12T23:30:00.000-04:00

I'm in, and I'll have a link to it as soon as I can come up with something. I might be able to help with the editing, as well; I was trained by a professional freelancer.

2008-10-12T21:54:00.001-04:00

I should have added I'd also be interested in whipping up or selecting something from my site to submit.

(Oh, and I'll have a post scheduled to go Tuesday on this).

2008-10-12T21:54:00.000-04:00

An inspiring idea. I would be willing to help anyway I could. Editing, judging, or art. Though I don't know what kind of credentials you would be looking for.

2008-10-12T21:52:00.000-04:00

As loathe as I am to make any sort of commitment to a new project, I think this is a great idea. I'm most of the way through my Master's Degree in Publications Design, so I can help out with a few things along those lines. Also promotion on the network, and all those good things.

Interesting idea! I'll try to post/link on this during the week.

I'll help any way I can as well.

2008-10-12T21:29:00.001-04:00

I'll help any way I can as well.

I think this is an incredible idea.

2008-10-12T19:34:00.000-04:00

I would love to help. Just let me know what I can do. I'd be more than willing to do any graphic design you need, though I'm not much of artist outside of graphic design. I can also write any articles you need on any subject.

2008-10-12T17:46:00.000-04:00

I'm intrigued and would be willing to help out if this gets off the ground.

I can judge/review/edit/submit things. In a pinch, I can help out with layout and design.

2008-10-12T17:36:00.000-04:00

Hey Jonathan, I'm in. :)

I'm good with words, and not much else. I'm great at editing the work of others, and I'd love to contribute an article to the anthology. I'll pass this along to the Unnatural20 team members here and see if any of them would be interested in helping out, but no promises; I keep them pretty busy already. ;)
