Re: [DL] Website stuff

All right, partner. Strap on your shooting irons. I'm comin' out.

Pinnacle will be 5 years old next January. Deadlands in August. Since Day 1, 
we have supported the web like NO other company. Weekly updates have made it 
a good 90% of the time. Some were short, but many were quite long, and MOST 
of them were damn good cause they were sent in by you guys. And honestly, we 
spend a good 2 days cleaning up even the best writer's material, so don't 
think throwing stuff up on the web is as easy as it looks. If we put it up, 
you guys take it as official, even when we say it isn't (like the black 
chip--neat, but not official).

We missed 1 update last Tuesday. Get over it. ;) This thread is dead and it 
ain't drawin' no Joker.

<< Here is what I think is the major part of the website woes we've had 
lately.
 
 Updates are weekly.  Now I know this is an ok thing to do, perhaps I've been 
 spoiled, Sjgames.com gets updated every day at midnight, not 12:01 AT 
 midnight.  Everyday, sometimes twice.
 
 Now Steve Jackson may have a bit more time to spend online, he publishes a 
 magazine online, 2 in fact.  Which are sorely lacking in any real deadlands 
 content.  But PEG could at least work on getting a few of the other portions 
 of the webpage up.
 
 Particularly....Submissions.
 
 Now i'm not talking artwork/epitath/book level submissions.  I mean 
 adventure nuggets, rule sets, things you could find on other sites but with 
 the quality assurance you can expect from a game company.  Now I know that 
 pinnicle doesn't get any money from their web site.  (asside from the store) 
 and that it is really just a showcase for their products but the minimal 
 ammount of things that are already there cry out to their brothers and 
 sisters on my hard drive for a place in the sun.
 
 Links to other pages are nice.
 PDF copies of the character sheet are good.
 The best thing I've ever gotten off the net would have to be the design 
 quirks rules from the library.  Of all the things I've seen this one levels 
 the playing field for mad scientists better than anything else I've tried.
 
 So here's what I'd like to see.
 
 Make webmaster a more full time job.  If somebody does it for free then 
 Let's get some other people to volenteer to help out.  Filtering 
 submissions, sorting rules and formatting for HTML is not that hard.  I've 
 already been working on my lawyer rules. >>
