 <title>[FAQ] Amber Quill Minimum Criteria</title>
 <link>http://rpgcrossings.com/forum_topic/faq_amber_quill_minimum_criteria</link>
 <description> &lt;p&gt;The Amber Quill is designed to recognize quality creative writing, rather than factual, resource-based content. In English, it recognizes exciting, involved and fluid game play rather than rules and background. Only actual game play logs (or archives) are considered for the AQ award.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note to site owners: These are not artistic guidelines, but rather a set of minimum requirements. Do not submit your site (for the AQ award) until it meets these criteria. Then, please submit it for review by our Editors, who will then look over the content, originality, usefulness, creativity and effort put into the site to make a final determination. Thank you!&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>[Rules] For Requesting a Review ... Please read</title>

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-left: 12px;&quot;&gt;Make sure to &lt;b&gt;post your full site name and URL&lt;/b&gt;.
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-left: 12px;&quot;&gt;Put your &lt;b&gt;site URL in your subject line&lt;/b&gt;, please.

 <description> &lt;p&gt;My wife and I run a PbP game based on the OWoD ruleset.  We would be greatly appreciative of any advice (or compliments &lt;img src=&quot;misc/smileys/smiley.gif&quot; title=&quot;Regular Smiley&quot; alt=&quot;Regular Smiley&quot; /&gt; ) some of you more seasoned web gurus can give.  Please keep in mind that the mood of the game is supposed to be dark and a bit forboding.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>http://suicidolt.googlepages.com/Roller1.html</title>
 <link>http://rpgcrossings.com/forum_topic/http_suicidolt_googlepages_com_roller1_html</link>
 <description> &lt;p&gt;I read the rules, and only just joined the forums.  Here&#039;s the short of it.  This isn&#039;t (yet) a site per-say.  It&#039;s more of a tool.  This is my D&amp;amp;D dice&lt;a href=&quot;glossary#term45&quot; title=&quot;dice: Dice in RPGs are a little different than you&amp;#039;re used to. Because the variables used in RPGs are often 1 out of 8, 1 out of 12, or some other odd number, six-sided dice won&amp;#039;t cover all situations. Most RPGs use dice with many different sides on them under different situations.

To clearly indicate which die to use, gamers have developed a shorthand method to refer to each type . . . the letter &amp;quot;d&amp;quot; followed by the number of sides the dice has. Your standard die found in any Monopoly box, for example, is called a d6. The most common dice are d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, and d20. Unusual dice that are either rarely used or just bought because they&amp;#039;re &amp;quot;cool&amp;quot; include the d30 and the golf ball sized d100. 

Your choice of game will determine which dice you need.&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;modules/glossary/glossary.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; roller.  I am posting it here because I want as much feedback as possible to improve it.  1) I am no artist.  The art-work isn&#039;t mine.  2) It works best in firefox, and, despite w3c compliance I cannot figure out why it doesn&#039;t work properly in IE.  Additionally, I tried to look over other sites, but found that there was nothing I could say that wasn&#039;t already said.  By the level of coding here, my advice would be sub-par.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>PbP doldrums</title>
 <link>http://rpgcrossings.com/forum_topic/pbp_doldrums</link>
 <description> &lt;p&gt;All PbP sites go through peaks and valleys, but perusing the links lately I have noticed that many very popular and until recently very active PbP sites have slumped, the faithful keep logging in, but there is nothing sadder than only 2 players rping when a board once boasted 30. So here are some hints to perhaps help revitalize your site, break the doldrums and even make the old players return&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>The Nine Worlds   http://the9worlds.freeforums.org/portal.php</title>
 <link>http://rpgcrossings.com/forum_topic/the_nine_worlds_http_the9worlds_freeforums_org_portal_php</link>
 <description> &lt;p&gt;Just started this site, very recently looking for any advice or suggestions. My category is play by post, high fantasy, though there are steam-punk and post-apocalyptic scenarios. Not ready for a GW or a AQ yet, but with some solid active members any thing is possible.&lt;/p&gt;

 <description> &lt;p&gt;Site name: The Hunted&lt;br /&gt;
Site url: &lt;a href=&quot;http://hunted.charmedtvs.org/&quot;&gt;http://hunted.charmedtvs.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have this horror role-playing game that I have been trying to get off the ground, it&#039;s off to a slow but steady start and I&#039;m quite proud of what&#039;s been accomplished so far. A good review will help me get some perspective on what may be seen as great or you can let me know needs to be added. Any advice, suggestions, praise (lol) will be appreciated. Looking forward to some insightful reviews!&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Tavern of the White Wolf</title>
 <link>http://rpgcrossings.com/forum_topic/tavern_of_the_white_wolf</link>
 <description> &lt;p&gt;Hello there,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I just put together a web site containing everyy information I got on Dungeons and Dragons. Books, netbooks, handbooks, guides, history, adventures, campaigns, and more. I used to be a big fan of DnD and now I don&#039;t have the needed spare time to play.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So I decided to share everything with the web.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here it is: &lt;a href=&quot;http://dnd.clubcafe.org/&quot;&gt;http://dnd.clubcafe.org/&lt;/a&gt; - The Tavern of the White Wolf&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>RolePlayGateway - http://www.roleplaygateway.com - GW + AQ</title>
 <link>http://rpgcrossings.com/forum_topic/roleplaygateway_http_www_roleplaygateway_com_gw_aq</link>
 <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.roleplaygateway.com&quot; title=&quot;Role Playing Games&quot;&gt;Role Playing Games by RolePlayGateway&lt;/a&gt; ( &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.roleplaygateway.com&quot;&gt;http://www.roleplaygateway.com&lt;/a&gt; )&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We used to be listed as &quot;GWing&quot; ( &lt;a href=&quot;http://gwing.net&quot;&gt;http://gwing.net&lt;/a&gt; ), but no longer are we in the database as either that or our current name, for whatever reason.  We don&#039;t fit any one particular category, because of the many things that we do.  For this reason, we are a bit different from other submissions.  I hope this is not a problem.&lt;/p&gt;

 <link>http://rpgcrossings.com/forum_topic/http_www_canticleofheroes_co_uk_main_php_play_by_post_rpg</link>
 <description> &lt;p&gt;My site is Kyasor at &quot;http://www.canticleofheroes.co.uk/main.php&quot; and I submitted it for review 2 weeks ago and no one ever replied. Needless to say I&#039;d still love to have my site reviewed. On the database I believe my Genre is High Fantasy with my Cannon being Pre-history.&lt;/p&gt;
