Call for Articles: Give us your love

[Spriggan]

Users are now linked to an article they created/submitted via their forum id instead of name for any article submitted after this post, if there are any problems with submitting let me know I haven't fully tested every scenario yet.

Why this is good: Now I can write a script to auto update your total article count when something is approved instead of having to run a script that requires me to shift through the database and change everyone's names back to their forum log-in name.  so Nessa hasn't been getting credit for her book reviews because Nessa isn't her forum login name.

I'm also going to make the author name a link, if there's a forum account associated with it, and allow for people to click on that link to view all articles by that author.

This doesn't resolve any issues with multiple people being able to be listed as authors and getting credit.

So I don't have anything to post. I just started a bunch of books, but won't be finishing any I can write a review on until next week.

Does anyone have ANYTHING? The queue is empty. Book review? Movie review? Anything?

I've got RPG stuff I'm reading but not going to be done for today.  I might have something for Wensday but my original target was Friday.

I barely have Internet access. Until the office gets a new ISP, consider me MIA.

I just gave up on my most recent book (Deadhouse Gates).  So, I won't have any reviews for a little bit yet.

I've got a couple of game reviews I'm putting together.  Should get those turned in in the next day or two.

[Nessa]

Great! Thanks everyone. I'll keep my eyes glued to the in-box.

I've populated enough RPG books out to people to cover us for one RPG review a week for at least 2 months and we got another shipment from Wizards that should cover a month (if we can whip a few of our reviewers into shape so they'll review what they have), if we can count on one Book review a week that will leave us with just one other day to fill.

Ok, so due to lack of being able to sleep right now (when I want to), I sat down and started writing. Then I decided to stop that and grab some comic books I've been meaning to review and have started work on those. I just finished my review of JLA v1 "New World Order." It's been submitted. Now onto Batman and the Monster Men.

EDIT: Batman and the Monster Men submitted!

Ok, I have a request/question to ask. Would it be possible to have, when my comic reviews are posted, to have them blurbed as:

"The Arbiter reviews: <comic name>! His judgment has been passed!"

Or something like that. You know?

[Nessa]

Uh, I'll take it up with The Powers That Be.

[Spriggan]

You are the power that be on this stuff.  You're the editor, you're incharge of blurbs and article so no need to clear it with the rest of us.

[Nessa]

Dang it. Well, now I have no excuses. You were my out, Spriggan!

Gemm, I'm sorry, I'm not going to put that. Unless you give me some compelling reasons.

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

Well, there's no one else around here who reviews comics, and I figured that'd be a nice way to make them pop out a little more for the scavenging reader.

Also, I'd be more than happy to take any requests for reviewing certain comics, as long as I'm given time to hunt it down and rustle up the money to purchase it.

I submitted a review of Goodman Game's Dungeon Crawl Classic #13: Crypt of the Devil Lich adventure module. To go with the review I submitted an article recounting a tournament that was played in conjuction witht the module. Not sure how you want to handle posting the two articles.
