Ste, put your money where your mouth is!

In a recent post I espoused the benefits to the gaming community at large of individual creativity and those individuals that work hard for little or no reward to provide some form of content for this crazy hobby. There are many talented and creative individuals out there that are working hard in the background to create new and exciting rules, models, ideas that make our hobby that bit more exciting. In addition there are also many creative and talented individuals with truly awesome and outstanding ideas or knowledge that aren’t creating or sharing anything.

Maybe we should all aim to contribute something to our community, because community it is. This hobby can’t exist without the social aspect, the face to face interactions with other human beings are a core part of what we do and how we all enjoy our hobby. Contrast that to online gaming where you can inhabit a virtual world and find great enjoyment out of electronically created environments/puzzles/challenges and yet never have the need to truly interact with another human being. We all have an internet presence of some-kind (this blog is one of mine) and there is no doubt that the internet is an amazing tool for our hobby, however it is just that, a tool to help facilitate that social gathering of dice rolling, chit drawing, card shuffling and general weirdness (Magic the Gathering???) that makes this hobby work.

So with that in mind I challenge all you blog readers and writers to produce something that benefits the hobby. It is very easy to critique what others do and I am just as guilty of it as everyone else however when all we do is critique then a critical mass will build up in ourselves and others that will stifle creativity and we’ll end up with nothing new.

Anyway here’s something that I created some time ago for all your reading pleasure. It’s a campaign pack/supplement for Warhammer AncientBattles – Age of Arthur. 

It can probably be easily adapted to other systems as the structure of it is not dependant on that rules system. In fact I may try and adapt it to SAGA as mate Ashley is dipping his toe into that world of crazy as we speak. So what wacky idea have you got, why not share it with the community and let’s see if we can populate this hobby with ideas that are not tied up in boardroom share value return on investment garbage!
