Having just added a new link on my blog, to take stock of the situation I did a counting: I have now 127 'Fict' links to 'active' blogs or websites at least partly devoted to one (or more) 18th C. Imagi-Nations. More than half are contributors to the 'Emperor vs Elector' emperor-elector.blogspot.com collective 'diplomatic' blog link . 12 links lead to contributors to the Pangaean Campaign link (a note of warning, go get all the relevant information be sure to look for miniatures galleries link , some battle reports posted as such link or as Club meetings reports link , and some general considerations link and any 'weird' action is posted elsewhere link again link ); more to come there, several countries don't have their own 'folder' yet. Since many of these players created both sides of their fictitious conflict, these links lead to some 200 imaginary 18th C. countries. Several other are fully described in the 'Files' and photo albums of a few Yahoo groups; indeed, with more concise passing references in various forums (this one included) I collected some 260 names of Lace Wars Imagi-Nations. Yet for sure there are many others on the web that I still have to discover. I browse wargaming forum, read the profiles of people commenting posts on the 'devoted' blogs -just discovered a new blogger with 2 countries yet to be named link . But, if you know of a 'webbed' fictitious 18th C. (WG or RPG) country, could you please check my list of 'Fict' links link and post any additional link here? In advance, thanks.
In addition to the 'active' links I keep trace of 14 -piteously- 'dead' ones, and here comes my second plea: when your wargaming interests changes, or when the harsh (or less so: birth of the heir
) requirements of 'The Real World™' pull you away from the hobby, PLEASE DO NOT CLOSE / DELETE YOUR BLOG! Don't be selfish -other people still have a passion for what does not interest you any longer. Don't be misled by the superficially 'ephemeral' day-to-day diary appearance of blogging: actually you accumulated a precious 'bank' of files and illustrations Actualized to-day or two years ago, your blog is a precious source of information and inspiration for the newcomer, and a library of useful references for the veteran. A blog is free and doesn't require any maintenance, so please keep it open to the community!
(Xposted on the 'Pirates' board for possible late 17th -early 19th C. Barataria-like countries in the Gulf of Mexico – Carribean area, and on the VSF one for possible Ruritania (Syldavia syldavianchronicle.blogspot.com ?) -like 19th C. countries) |
