| Stormskull Dave has Stormskull things to say to your Stormskull tookis. |
You might have been wondering (or not) where we've been these past weeks. Like always, we've been hard at work putting things together for you - this time with more of an eye on the future. Well, the battles grind on...but we're taking a moment to assess ourselves and make improvements.
All games clubs evolve. Over time, you can find yourself doing things you never thought of just because that's the way things are going. We've been comfortable with the format of things for a while, as a club. Yet, the shifts have been both sudden and subtle over the last few years. Now that the dynamics of and around our tables have changed.
We have more folks on Game Day than any of the game stores around us seem to have at any one time, and are far more involved in the gaming as an entity. We're a private club - we don't have a storefront (but we do have an eBay) and space is limited - but everyone invited is made to feel like family. The finance plan of the club has also changed, and the Project Assessment Committee is helping us move forward in a great many ways. So many, in fact - we've been preparing for weeks on the back-end without many articles. This is a cardinal sin on our part.
We'll be changing venues as planned in a few weeks, and several changes will occur. More on these later. Suffice it to say that for the last three or four years we've been experimenting with a few different options for going forward, and we'll be rolling out more news on this in July and August. During that time, you may notice strange things happening with the site. Don't be alarmed, this is just us fiddling with the web. Things will be back to normal soon - in fact, better than normal.
More importantly, I have another announcement.
Our good buddy and coordinator Skim has stepped up to help out with content and is now co-author on this blog and moderator across the Wargate's social media. In addition, check out his new blog, where he'll be talking about the meta of gaming. I look forward to seeing his thoughts on the state of our hobby, industry and other facets of gamer life.
Skim is most certainly a welcome addition to the web-team, he and I have been friends for longer than I can really remember. It's been at least twenty, and one of the first solid players back in the dimly remembered days of high school. He's been a frequent co-conspirator over the years and is a big fan of miniature wargames. We're sure to see a lot of cool stuff from this new level of collaboration, and I for one am very excited.
A new and improved network map will be available this week. Original images by our art team will replace many on the site as well, so look for a total restructure of this blog and it's nature. Thanks to everyone on the PAC, and to Skim for helping make it happen.
Now, back to work on the next phase of interdimensional war...
