Promoting the site

Balbinus · September 13, 2006, 04:28:53 PM

Hi all,

I've changed my sig at rpg.net to include a link to here, simply saying "I also post here" since I don't agree with knocking other sites to promote this one.

Anyone else got any simple ideas for helping promote this place?

Mcrow · September 13, 2006, 04:31:54 PM

That is the way i'm doing it.

My sig that I use here has been added to all of the forums I participate on.

My sig at RPGNet now also has a link that says "The RPG Site--Speak Your Mind".

Here's one for Mcrow... whenever there's a new review (or once a day), submit a scoop to ENWorld about the new reviews.

Those are all really good ideas, and I'm very happy to see all of you putting thought into helping this place stay as active as it is now, and more.

Thanks!

You know, I don't know if people are on StumbleUpon or not, but it's a cool way to share sites you like with other folks. You pick cateogories you're interested in (such as "Roleplaying Games", and when you go to a site, you give it a thumbs-up or thumbs-down depending on how you like it--you can also write reviews of it for other folks to find. It's a way to share cool sites folks may not have otherwise found with matching interests. One of my friends here at work loves it, and says he's found all sorts of sites through it. If folks want to pimp this site through it, I think it wouldn't hurt any.

I thought about that , but was worried the admins there might not dig that.

The newshounds post scoops for RPGnet and GameWyrd reviews all the time.

There was a bit of resentment over the shitstorm that Mzichs and Knightcrawler stirred up promoting the site, but the admins have been having a feel good powwow over at NTL and I think most of that has settled down and in the past.

All they can really do is say no, but I would doubt that.

Looks like they posted my "scoop" over on EN world.

I think I'll go with something along the lines of what Balbinus does.

Mcrow, should hopefull have a review or two your way by this coming weekend. (hopefully before)

Cool! What games are you going to review?

I picked up a copy of the Savage Tides intro that Paizo put out to help prep groups for the new adventure path in Dragon. That one at least I know I can manage by weeks end. Do accessories for gaming count as reviewable offhand?

Oh, Pundit, you will be happy to hear that the Grayhawk dieties are prominantly listed, I don't know enough about the geography of Oarth to know where it is set offhand.

You know, over at Treasure Tables a while back, we had a membership drive that went fairly well--what we did was, anyone who registered on the site and posted at least 5 times in x period (for us, it was one month) had a chance to win a prize pack (one from Dark Matter Studios, a pdf prize pack from PIG, and a T-Shirt from TT itself). It was surprising how few people came just for 5 posts and left--I'd say a good majority stayed on and really contributed. If we could get a few publishers to agree to donating a free pdf or prize pack, I bet we could drum up some interest that way.
