Could we get a Wayfinder section?

[Guy Humual]

I'm not sure how much interest there would be but it might be cool to have a place to discuss published articles or even pitch ideas. Just a thought.

And another +1 to that. I'm hoping to submit something next time around.

So I guess there wasn't that much interest :(

Patience, grasshopper. Your post has only been up about two hours and it is well after the peak traffic period on the forum. Give it time.

As for me, I'm all for it.

+0.99999999.....ok +1

Drat, I meant to add my voice to this.

[zylphryx]

Oh a definite +1 on this.

Well two hours and eleven days . . . give or take. But I'm thinking that this wasn't noticed the first time around.

Ah, you're right. I was looking at the time post of your final post, not the first one. I'm thinking it got buried the first time around, because if I'd seen it I would have certainly responded.

[Amael]

I'd definitely like to see something like that.

errr +1 for me too.

[Guy Humual]

Let me resurrect this thread.

I would love to have a section of these forms where we could discuss published articles as well as plan new ones.

[acecipher]

I agree with the above, since it actually might get me to contribute something :P

[Boxhead]

I think would be a worthy subforum in the Pathfinder Campaign setting section (where the threads tend to be).

[Charles Evans 25]

My suggestion to the original poster would be to go out and post threads to try and get discussions going anyway, and maybe if Paizo see enough such threads active, they might create a subforum to wrangle them all into.
If this course of action does not for one reason or another commend itself, then at least with regard to fiction there are already venues around the web (such as Zuxius' Pathfinder Chronicler site or perhaps even the Golariopedia site which the last I heard was looking for a new purpose) which suggest themselves as alternative possibilities to focus/concentrate article discussion.
(Warning! Silly alias post about to follow....)

[Smagnavast the Black]

This thread is just so much poppycock. There's a much more pressing need for a dragon subforum. The succubi (or so I have observed) already have at least one ENTIRE forum to themselves; the least Paizo could do is give creatures as magnificent as dragons their own subforum.
Whilst we're at it, though, GM agents of mine beg that I put in a request for a GM evil plotting subforum, politicians want a political subforum, Evil Power-crazy Monkeys of Doom want a subforum, and old-school cross-trading 'loths are threatening to be really rather unpleasant and put some berks in the dead-book unless they get a subforum where they can swap yarns about the good old days and deride how the youngsters these days are so delightfully innocent and naive and manipulateable...
Honestly, a dragon's work is never done. There's almost no time to just sprawl on a hoard and count coins.

[Charles Evans 25]

Annnnd, thank-you Smagnavast. I'm not sure if there was a valid point to that post (besides humour) but it felt like it needed to be made.
:D

[Soricel Minoi Mousefeet]

Hey I think it would be a good idea that way we could discuss Wayfinder and all its glory. :D

[Shadowborn]

Wayfinder is still awesomesauce.

[ulgulanoth]

indeed :D

[Timitius]

So, yes, I HAVE seen this thread. And I HAVE thought about it.

First off, I'll say "+1" to the idea as well.

However, I have a slight issue (as probably does Paizo) in that Wayfinder is NOT a part of Paizo. It's quite a separate thing. For Paizo to give Wayfinder its very own subforum, it would have to give a subforum to everyone else who started up a fan webzine. It's a slippery slope, to be sure.

But I hear you....I even received an email last night from someone who wanted a simple and easy way to find out more on Wayfinder submissions and guidelines. Unfortunately, I could only point towards the thread in the Pathfinder Campaign Setting subforum, which is now buried deep in the list.

It seems the most obvious solution would be a Wayfinder website, or webpage. I would like to seriously consider getting this set up, and it sounds like including a possible forum as part of it would be worthwhile...but that is for consideration AFTER this issue is completed.

It also requires a few other things...like a place to put it up, and a webmaster to make it, and work with the Managing Editor to keep it updated. Oh, and for cheap-to-free, too.

There's this thing called Facebook, and there's a Wayfinder page on it... :P

Any chance of a direct link? Also, can everyone access this or do you have to be signed in to Facebook etc?

Thanks!!!

DOH! Yes, yes there is our Facebook page.

And I can see it fine without logging in to FB. Can't comment or that sort of thing, but....

I'm not certain that it's that complicated. White Wolf, for example, has The Camarilla as its "official fan club." There are a lot of less official WW fan clubs as well.

Then again that's a fanclub as opposed to a fanzine, but the process of conferring "official" status should be similar.

There could even be a subforum for Wayfinder and then another for "Other Fan Products".

[Charles Evans 25]

Not being a Facebooker, as an experiment I have (or rather the Ask a Succubus Journalist alias has) just posted a thread on the Campaign Setting forum for possible discussion of Wayfinder #6 articles.
*Link* (At least for now, until/unless it gets moved...)
Signing out having done my good deed/piece of mischief for the month... ;)

bump

[ulgulanoth]

we need to prod the pmg to give us a wayfinder subsection!

[Shadowborn]

Lemme go in the closet and fetch my poking stick...

[Guy Humual]

Seeing as this post has been around for more then a year now, and we've only gotten a handful of replies thus far, I'm guessing that there isn't much interest.

[ulgulanoth]

for shame!
