Original Edition RPG Appreciation Day Will Take the Place of Swords & Wizardry Appreciation Day
Now this day will celebrate OD&D and all OD&D based games!! I added all the bold above.
So if you have anything for OD&D or for any clone, please get it ready to be linked to by noon on May 5th. Since the event is on May 5th, I want to encourage you to submit your links a few days ahead of that date. Good way to publicize anything you have or will create and/or your blog.
Original Edition Roleplaying Appreciation Day (OERAD) will be held on Saturday May 5th this year!
This year we have a HUGE CHANGE in what the Appreciation Day will entail. After thinking on this for the past year, I threw my idea at +Matt Finch, and received his approval. I have been thinking that we are neglecting a great deal of talent in the realm of OD&D based games when we celebrate ONLY Swords & Wizardry. There is a terrific amount of material still be published for OD&D proper, not the least of which comes from David Hill's Mothshad Concepts. Additionally, we have many other great games based in OD&D, such as Delving Deeper and Iron Falcon, not to mention the entire line from Night Owl Workshop, reimagining what OD&D might have been like if it had been inspired by source other than pulp fantasy. We will not be slighting S&W, only expanding upon the celebration. As a side note, I have already asked +Clayton Williams to do create a piece of art that I can turn into a new logo for the festivities! I will share it here as soon as it is complete. So, this year will celebrate the Original Roleplaying Game in all of it's incarnation! Come help us celebrate.
If you want to take part in the festivities this year, here is what to do:
- Write a post, article, free pdf, podcast etc. related to OD&D, Swords & Wizardry, Delving Deeper, Iron Falcon or any other OD&D clone OR, get a sale going with product you already have.
-Email me with a link to you blog, website etc. By 12:00PM Eastern Standard Time on Saturday, May 5th. Email both your link and title/sale.
-Make the subject of your email: "OERAD Post (or sale)" and the blog/site title. Send email to: luxfaust_at_gmail_dot_com
-Make sure to have the actual post/sale by 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time on May 5th.
-I will have all links and titles posted here on the blog around 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time on May 5th.
