Victory Points

I like it when I can maintain the same identity across multiple sites. I hate coming to a site, entering my favorite user name, CorpCommander, only to find that it isn’t available, too long or already taken. Thus, I’ve removed the ability to sign up on this site as a user and moved over to the Disqus system which lets you use your already established User Id from Google, Facebook, Twitter, OpenID or Disqus!

I am also considering a total makeover of this site. The traffic here is low enough that I could just dump everything that is here and start fresh. I’ve had a lot of interesting experiences with web site designs over the last couple of years on other sites and I think it’s time I brought them to bear on this site. This site has always been a bit confused about what it was about. It started as just a place for me to blog randomly about my gaming. Now I’d like to take some time and do this right and make this a great place people interested in home brewed games to come and share ideas and projects and to learn things.

If you think you’d like to collaborate please contact me in the comment system!

I have been working on other sites for quite some time and now it is time for me to return to Victory Points. This site has languished for some time now, mainly due to many other pressing needs in my personal life. Until recently I haven’t been gaming much. That is changing and I have a new game design I am currently working on (Battlestar Galactica Tactical Battles) and several older designs will get a new treatment.

The site could still use an RPG Editor to blog about the world of role playing games. There is no money in it. This site has never generated income in this or it’s previous incarnations. That may change in the future but for now it would be for the intangible benefit of loving what you do.

If you have been here before, keep your eye out every Friday for a new posting. If you are new, welcome. I hope we have something of interest for you.

I’ve been busy getting things ready for the new website. Right now the only thing that isn’t ready to go are the Forums. I am using Disqus to moderate the comments and I am hopeful they will eventually add forums. I would hate to have members work with two different membership systems. It is too much work to “invent my own” so I am dependent upon a third party solution. I’ve also been working to weed out spammers who seem to really love attacking Word Press sites.

I’ve already started to put content up. I need an RPG editor. I’d like to have other secondary editors as well. I’ve taken the mantle of Wargames Editor since that is 90% of my gaming anyway. If anyone is interested in being an editor (which consists of blogging, completing gaming projects and documenting them in photos and essays) then contact me here.

Lately my interests have swung to WH40K, HOTT, DBA for primary play and various boardgames for intermittent play. I have at least two boardgames I’ve gotten this year that I would LOVE to play if I can find opponents.

Once Victory Points is up this site will become inactive. It will be redundant. You can sign up for the Victory Points RSS feed instead!

So far things are progressing nicely on the site. Let me know what you think. Thanks!
