Anyone interesting in taking up the care and maintenance of the RPG Blog Carnival Archive?


Best regards, Jonathan

Hi!

I'll have to talk with Jeff about this, but as far as I remember he planned to implement something into the software that powers the RPGBA that will easily allow host that archive.

Best regards,
Michael

I was working on it but didn't finish it. Looks like I may just have to do something that about.

On a side note, I just looked at the archive. Did the Carnival not run for a few months?

Jeff,

I can host the carnival on Roleplaying Tips as Plan B if Plan A does not work out.

I don't know. I haven't followed the RPG Blog Carnival for a while now.

Gentlemen,

After careful consideration, I think we can host the main page over at the RPG Blog Alliance. Provided of course that no one has any objections to that. I think we can try to restart things for an August Carnival since it seems like the last true Carnival was in April. At the very least, there has been no indication that there was one. Please let me know if I am not correct.

If there are no objections, I think I'd be more than happy to make an "Official" announcement by mid-week. That will give me time to the new pages put together. So please if there are objections to this plan, let me know.

No objections from The Savage Troll and it sounds like a good home.

Also, thanks Jonathan for all your work on Nevermet. It was a great outlet for indie authors and you've been very supportive of the community. Good luck in all your future endeavors and I know you'll be back someday. Passions are funny like that.

I'd love if there was an RSS feed or monthly email notification letting me know what the topic for the month is. Something to consider while we are discussing this.

Well here is what I have to far.

It still needs some updating but it should be a fair clone of the prior page.

I would be willing to take it on, if you have not found a good home for it yet.

I think having it hosted with the RPGBA for now is a good idea. If - for some reason - that ever becomes an issue, then another home could be chosen for it.

Good luck everyone and Game On!
