Wow, what a great first week. Even though we have all pretty much been busy at DFG with family obligations during the holidays, we still are very excited about this development and really look forward to more readers submitting links to their tutorials, reviews and (pretty much anything else useful). We will link to any format be it blog, web site or even a forum post thread as long as the material could be useful to another hobbyist and it will all be found here.

With that being said if you are interested in submitting your links, please e-mail them to darkfuturegames@gmail.com with the subject line "DFG LINKS" and please include the links, broken down by catagory so we can easily get them up for the world to follow.

This whole hub idea comes mainly from inspiration of how useful the FTW hub was that Ron built back in the day ... and also by the fact that I have seen other "blog networks" basically publishing whole articles under their hub instead of politely linking so other people can discover new blogs. I want DFG to be a place where people can go and not only check out our content, but also find other people's work one those people's sites, not ours!

With all that, please submit your links if you have them and if you would like to join the nearly constant conversation we are having in our Facebook Group, please go there and join it. We have been talking about everything from the Chaos Codex to self-casting to how to keep the wife happy while we hobby! In any case, have a great Monday!

  1. I'll check them out. FYI blue links on a black background = very hard to see and read.

  2. I just noticed the terrible formatting! It's what happens when Blogger attempts to exchange things from Word or Outlook into the blogger format.

  3. Holy crap! What a jump in traffic on my blog. It's so weird/cool to be a part of something like this. I'm still just getting used to running a blog. AND: Holy Crap! What a gold mine of hobby related articles for me to read through. Thanks for doing this guys!
