Some ideas...

Hello all. I know that this section is hardly the liviest on the forums, so I was thinking about things which could help to bring more people here. The first of which was a competition, whether that would include painting up a model or army, or creating rules for your own character I do not know. The second was some more interactive things, perhaps like a "guru" where people can ask for advice and a said member answering accordly, or something else along those lines. Another was like that in General Fantasy/40K, which helps people to decide on what race/army they want to play, giving a select amount of information and some pictures to kindle their interest.

Anybody else like to throw something in? Obviously I can't help as such due to me not being into this actual gaming system, but I thought that you bunch who are dedicated to this section would perhaps find it interesting.

Righty oh guys! Great to see some ideas being thrown in, I've been thinking of what competitions we could run for a while now and a painting/modelling one is out of the question as are most of them to be honest as we wouldn't see enough attraction to make an official competition with prizes etc.

But I'm all up for the idea of compiling beginners advice for each of the armies. In fact I think it's a brilliant idea.

This weekend I will post up a thread where we can gather the information for each army for both systems and once we have enough information I will start to post up the sticky threads for them.

Every member who contributes to this project will see a reasonably decent sized rep boost from me (it's no Galahad rep boost, but it's good enough :wink: ).

So anyways, I'll post up a thread soonish where people can post what armies they can write something up for and for which game system. We should also compile a sample 'layout' to which people can use as a base when writing their 'Beginners Guide' to whichever army they are writing about.

I have written an 'Overview of the LOTR SBG' and will write a WOTR one eventually but this will be a brilliant expansion on this.

I've just posted up a sticky where we can start to build up this feature.
That sounds like something we could consider. Something like a 'WotR Unit of the Week' sounds okay to me what do you think? Like you said in the end we could have a very in depth detailed article for every unit which would be great.

Monday - Friday choose a unit.
Saturday/Sunday people can write the article and have it posted up.
Monday the process begins again.

Something like that were you thinking?

We would have it in one big long running thread and eventually when we have everything I'd go through and sort them in order to compile the final thread.
Aye it's a good idea and I'll probably get it up and running for the first Monday in July.
Before I get this Unit of the Week thing running, as it'll be using 'Units' from the War of the Ring book I need to check if there are enough people dedicated to writing these in depth analysis articles of Units for this feature. I myself am cast out from doing so due to not actually owning the War of the Ring book anymore.

So who else out there will be able to do so?

I'm going to take that as a no?

It's a shame because I'd really like to get something like this up and running.
