There is a veritable treasure trove of articles in the archives of this site. They come from such luminaries as John Wick, Seth Ben-Ezra, and even Gary Gygax. I suspect many of those on the site today are unaware of these--and more's the pity, because although I wrote over two hundred articles published here myself (not counting blogs and forum posts), that is not half of what is available in terms of role playing information.
I intend to remedy that, to some degree. My Game Ideas Unlimited series was published weekly here for four years, and each Friday, or roughly Friday, I am going to resurrect the next in series and invite comment and discussion. Hey, I'd love to promote the works of some of these others, but that's not really my place, so I'll let them do that.
We will begin at the beginning. On the first of June, 2001, Game Ideas Unlimited: Introduction became the first article in this series, the first of five series started over the course of that next week in Gaming Outpost's effort to build on its success with excellent articles from industry professionals. It is, as it says, an introduction--to me, to the series that would follow, to some of my other work. I've done my best to clean up the old links (including the links in the linked articles, when they are here on this site), and invite you to join me, either as a bit of nostalgia for what we were doing almost seven years ago, or for the first time in an adventure in role playing game ideas.
As I said, your comments on that article are welcome.
