When I originally envisioned The Gamer Hotsheet, I saw it as a daily gaming news site, covering pretty much any game you might see, buy, or play at Origins, Gen Con, or other national shows. I kind of saw this site as a year-round exhibit hall, a place where manufacturers could post news about their new products, sales, and contests.
In the first few months, I had a lot more free time to devote to the site, and I could actually add articles pretty much every day. Now, more than a year later, I’ve become far busier in my spare time and am simply not able to keep up a daily news schedule – especially since I’ve had little or no help. A weekly schedule has been working for the last few weeks, so I’m going to try to maintain that, with updates more often as time permits (i.e., rarely but occasionally).
I’ve decided to make one important change to our gaming coverage, effective immediately. We will no longer be covering news about new miniatures. I don’t think I can hope to do this as well as sites like The Miniatures Page already do it, and the time is better spent on other content that seems to generate more readership. So, while I will cover miniatures GAMES here, and I’ll let you know about any sales or deals on miniatures I run across, I won’t be covering specific miniatures from this point on.
I plan to continue covering the World of Warcraft MMORPG, as we seem to get at least as many hits on that content as other news on the site. Since I’m still playing WoW and still learning things on occasion, that should continue to be of value to a large number of readers.
I hope to add coverage of Pirates of the Burning Sea as I learn more about that MMO.
And, of course, I’ll continue to cover Origins and Gen Con Indy as I have in the past.
