Next Small Press Week?

So, I dunno about you guys, but I'm already ready for another Small Press Week on… whatever becomes of the RPGBN (including this). There's one company that I forgot about, which makes me feel very guilty, and another that I really want to write about. Of course, I could write these whenever I feel like it, but it can't hurt to have a little cross-linking going on.

Here's what I want to see if we do another SPW:

Better Cross-linking. I didn't link to anyone, really (except Zach on my Epic RPG interview-thingy), so I'm just as guilty of this as anyone else (except, once again Zach), but I would love if we could set up some super-intense cross-linking system before SPW actually happened.
More people participating. I realize this really isn't something we can control, but I want to see if we can get everyone participating in SPW v2.0 (listening to Wootstock 1.1, so I can't help but attach version numbers of everything v2.0).
Something filler here. Because longer lists look better than shorter lists..
Try to avoid scheduling it the same week as a huge RPG Bloggers controversy. Just sayin' ;).

So, can we do it? YES WE CAN!

I'd also have liked to have seen some more cross-linking (I'm doing one more summary tomorrow), but yeah, more people would be great. I think I said on my blog I could have a Small Press Month and not run out of companies.

I was thinking a Small Press Christmas Catalog would be cool. I used to do a real basic layout when I had rpgblog.org. I think Ed or Atomic Array or someone was going to do some sort of holiday gift guide; it might be cool to see.; ▶ Reply to This

You can make links to a store (RPGNow, YGN, whatever) and have coupons. HinterWelt would be in for sure! Maybe I coudl have ASMBE done and offer up a Christmas "More Nutzsszz" coupon..

Idea about that, add in some short reviews from your blogs or highlight the points you like about the games with reference to your blogs. So, like :
- For a squirrel game Squirrel Attack! is nuts! - RPGBlogII (linky)

If no one else steps forward I would be happy to help with layout and PDF generation.; ▶ Reply to This

Bernstein on October 25, 2009 at 3:06pm: I was actually working on a coupon site with Phil Reed ages ago, but then he went back to work for Steve Jackson so it was abandoned. I completed the coding and have a domain for it, so if there's any interest, someone can run it. It's mostly automated.; ▶ Reply to This

Thanks.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Zachary Houghton on October 27, 2009 at 9:15pm: For the catalog or coupon site? I like both ideas, but a Small Press Holiday Wishbook would kick some major Festivus booty.; ▶ Reply to This
