New Forum Areas For 2014
This is to announce some board rearrangements, including two major new site areas and several minor ones. We're pretty excited to officially unveil these, with new areas to cater for both project works and the community...
The Senet House - Tabletop Game Design2014 has been a good year for Exilian's tabletop gaming - with two new games published and new work in the pipeline on others! As such we've opened a new area specifically for designing tabletop games, now separate from the discussion zone. The new area - the Senet House - is now open to provide forum hosting and discussion for hobbyist boardgame developers, and will work in tandem with our affiliates project which can provide free hosting for commercially developed games. The Senet House has been specifically designed to meet the needs of the tabletop design community, and as such includes a subforum specifically for polls to test out new ideas.
The Secret Garden - FandomsExilian's core community often get pretty excited about major TV, film, and book franchises, things that exist in multiple formats and haven't historically fitted well into the various areas of the site. We've finally addressed that with a new area to deal with the big fandoms, where you can all geek out to your heart's content.
So far, the fandoms with forums are:
- Doctor Who
- MSPA & Homestuck
- Tolkien and LOTR
- Star Trek
But more can and will be added - if you're part of a major fandom and you want space to discuss it, we want to hear from you so we can get this area providing the discussion areas that people need. Happy fanpeople-ing!
...and more!Yes, even that's not all! The
Exilian Folk Club is just starting to offer a new space to folk and world music fans to share reviews, lyrics, YT videos, and more. There's also the new
Comic Central area for fans of everything from Batman to The Order of the Stick - and along with the new tabletop game design area a
historical boardgames forum has been created as part of the old tabletop discussion area. With the site so brimming with new areas, there are more options for what to chat about on Exilian than ever before.
Of course the rest of the site is still very much open for business, and as always if you have a creative project or idea that you want to discuss or get hosting for we very much want to hear from you - hope to see you all around!
