PbP Haven Monthly Broadcast #7 - July 2010

Been a long and busy moth this July, so I'm running a bit later than I'd prefer on this months broadcast, but here it is and here we go.

For those of you still receiving this who don't frequent the Haven anymore, here is a list of the newly arrived games:

• Island of the Ancients [D&D 4e]


• Arcane Monastery [D&D 4e]


• Haunted Marshlands [D&D 4e]

Other still active games include the following

• Red Hand of Doom [D&D 4e] - A 4th edition take on a 3.5 classis


• The City [D&D 4e] - Another take on a 3.5 module, with two groups actrive within it at the same time.


• Clan Wars [D&D 4e]


• Hunters from the Eighth [D&D 4e]


• Magi Chronicles


• The Six Companions [D&D 3.5] - The tale of six companions in a world without humans.


• Chaos Scar [D&D 4e]


• Etene [D&D 4e]


• A Coming of Heroes [D&D 3.5]


• Belling's Isle [D&D 4e]


• ??? [D&D 2e] - A 2nd edition game run through an old starter adventure

As a new feature, if you have a short description of your game you'd like to see added to it's name on these lists, just let me know in the broadcast suggestion threat (linked below)

Some games of course, have fallen by the wayside, but I do note that of the games that came up for recruitment recently, they filled up quite rapidly. Of course, we're always sad to loose games, but this month has been very encouraging for me. After my request last month to see if anyone wanted to get some non-4th edition games up and running, we've gotten a strong surge of new games up and running, a very promising sign.

Next up on my agenda, this is a bit of old news, but in case you missed it in the announcement section of the group, I was messing with the group permissions several months ago, and I enable any member of the group to make use of the group blog as well as upload photos to the group gallery. 

Another thing to mention, is a reminder that we do have a general off-topic forum in the group. It gets very little traffic, so little that I hadn't even noticed it had a post until I was looking around today. It's far from a popular section of our group, but there are several thread there that may be of interest for readers to contribute or simple read, such as the Broadcast Suggestion thread, a PbP DM advice thread, and a PbP Player Advice thread. If you have some time and think you might have something to share, stop by and toss a few posts there as well.

As I do every moth, I'll make a request of all our members once more. Please, advertise for the haven and let people know we are around. Add a link to the haven in your signature. Invite your friends to stop by and join. Anything you can think of to let people know we exist and bring in more people. The more people we have in the haven, the more games that will be run and the more players we have for the games we run.

Another long running suggestion. If you are a member of a game not being played on the haven, you can still visit. Post in the games list threads, and let people know your game exists.

Again, if you have suggestions or ideas for me to add in these monthly broadcasts, drop me a line in this thread - community.wizards.com/play-by-post_haven...
