Let Loose the Hounds! Time to Spread the Word About the S&W Appreciation Day



April 17th, the Swords & Wizardry Appreciation Day, is a mere 5 days away. I already took the day off from work and figure to run a LotR Marathon in the background as I take care of keeping everything updated.

There is still time to spread the word. I've seen mention of the Swords & Wizardry Appreciation Day blogfest popping up on G+ in the Swords & Wizardry Community and on a few blogs, but you are mostly preaching to the choir there.

Spread the word on G+ publicly. Share it on Facebook (did I just say that?). I'd say "tweet" it, but I hardly ever tweet myself ;) Hit the usual forums. Hit the unusual forums. The S&W Appreciation Day event isn't just for the community, it's there to grow the community.

We currently have 127 blogs signed up to participate. If that isn't major event in the RPG Community, I don't know what is (well, yes I do - look at what the current news is ;)

  1. I was thinking of taking off that day myself. But getting off at my place of employment is like pulling bloody teeth. I'll make sure to finish my submissions early and have Blogger submit them automatically while I drudge away all afternoon.
