Win Fame and Adoration as a Guest Poster!
Fame! Fortune! Success! Status Amongst Your Peers! Unfortunately, this post is about none of that.

After three years of scrimping and saving, my family is taking our long-awaited Hawaiian vacation in about a week and a half. We're thrilled.

But what happens to the blog when I'm gone? Well, nothing really. I try and keep some blog posts in reserve so it's easier for me to post every weekday (and even sometimes on weekends). And our hotel does have an Internet connection, so I may be popping in the check things out. BRIEFLY.

But I figured this might be a really good time to solicit members of this community to write some guest posts for the site to help fill in. I think long-time members of this community are well aware of the fact that they are smarter and better-spoken than I am. Probably better-looking too. And here's your chance to prove it. Don't worry about shattering my fragile pride.

I'm primarily looking for articles about computer RPGs, adventure games, indie games, and reflections on gaming in general. I am not really looking for reviews of games - this is not a review site - nor news (since I can't guarantee when / if your article will be posted). But thoughts / feelings on playing a particular game - going deep rather than providing a broad review - would be perfect. I'm looking for short* articles discussing the history, culture, loves, hopes, fond memories, and even rants about this hobby we love.

Think about your favorite gaming moments and experiences, your "dream game," things you'd like to see, things that drive you up the wall, favorite game characters, or nitpicks about specific topics. Note: I'm not really looking for articles on game development - but obviously that's a topic 'round these parts as well, so I won't rule it out. Give it a little flare and humor, and make sure you include your name and a link to your homepage as you want it to appear, and send it my way via the feedback email address at rampantgames.com.

While this is principally to cover my fundamental laziness prior to taking my vacation, but i'm pretty lazy all the time. Please consider this an open invitation for writing for Tales of the Rampant Coyote at any time.


* 5-ish paragraphs would be great, but there are no hard and fast rules.

Yes, I'm definitely better looking...

Very nice, my parents love Hawaii! I haven't been yet, but would like to go some day. Anyhow, I wouldn't mind putting together one post, I have a about a year old draft on tactics in RPG's that if revised might be worth having.

I would also like to get around to an article on the for side of Diablo's and DoP's "Save and Quit" system. I honestly think my complaints from before were heartfelt, but wrong. The bottom line, save and quit makes the experience much deeper than "save try load".

I can't guarantee wisdom or industry shaking articles, but I can guarantee it will will fill up some white space. :)
 
Sure, hit me with it.
 
Starting my own game development blog has been on my to-do list for too long now... so tempting... I've got a list sitting somewhere of about 10 topics to write about deconstructing aspects of Fallout..

And I'll be off L4D2 in a week also...
 
If I had any time whatsoever I'd be more than glad to submit a couple of posts =(
 
I'll get you something
