Snazzy New Graphics, 101 Blogs and Mind Your Manors


Damn snazzy!

There's a couple of Swords & Wizardry Appreciation Day graphics that are in the works / teaks stage. I happen to think this one is pretty cool.

So, mere minutes ago we hit 101 blogs that have signed up to participate in the Swords & Wizardry Appreciation Day on April 17th.

101

You, each and every one of you have humbled me. I never dreamed of hitting 100, and we've already passed it. The fine folks at Frog God Games and at D20swsrd.com have some "things" up their sleeves to make the day really nice. More on that when we lock it down to specifics.

+Tim Shorts of the Gothridge Manor blog is going to chip in 5 copies of his zine, The Manor, to 5 folks of his choice on S&W Appreciation Day. Those that are chosen get to choose the issue they would like in PDF.

It's getting to the point that I really need to update the list of the various items in the "gift basket" form all the various sources.

I think there's some more gifts to be announced tonight ;)

Call For Contact Info From Blogs Participating in the Swords & Wizardry Appreciation Day Blogfest



You know how the OSR runs things: A wing, a prayer, improvise and use duct tape. Hey, don't knock it, it's worked well for me up to now.

That being said, a little organization may just go a long way.

If you are planning to participate in the Swords & Wizardry Appreciation Day Blogfest on April 17th, your blog should be on the below list. Awesome! If it isn't, add it to the comments.

Now, if you are on the list, Frog God Games would like a way to contact you. They are planning to run some promotions regarding the S&W Appreciation Day and would like to be able get that info to you in a timely fashion. I'll also need it to award the "gifts" to random and not so random bloggers. Oh, and we may have a graphic for your blog if you want to use it.

So, this is what I need:

An email sent to tenkarsDOTtavernATgmailDOTcom

A subject heading stating something like "S&W Appreciation Day"

your blog's name and link in the body of the email

your first name - 'cause we got it like that ;)

let me know if you don't what me to forward your info to The Frogs, in which case I'll act as a filter back and forth. The option is there for the few who might want it.

Thanks in advance to everyone, bloggers, readers, G+ers. You all seriously rock!
