So the idea of a 'This week in NGA...' is a really neat idea, and I like the idea of it being a thing.

But...

I can only speak for myself, but when Im looking for a new community or some information, the more barriers you put between me and the actual sub-forum or information Im looking for, the less time Im going to spend trying. And since we're only a forum, I think thats worth considering. The idea is good, and should be a part of NGA in some way, but navigation barriers in front of content are costly when every topic and hobby is dime a dozen for websites about them.

For DotP, you could do a weekly decklist feature. The guy currently managing the master decklist thread (DJ0045) could probably help you with that.

For RPG, the side-bar with open games is a neat idea. As for the weekly activity, a cool scene from one of the games could be highlighted each week, although that would require someone to actually keep up with every game, which I'm not sure if it's feasible.

Not enough seems to happen each week in a game, though with enough games, a rotating schedule of updates from each one monthly could work. I know for Princes of the Apocalypse, it's been almost three weeks, and we're still in the beginning of the story with no combat under our belts as of yet.

A fair concern. I suspect that right now most of our traffic comes from links to specific areas, though, which the front page wouldn't interfere with.

Well, "combat" is a loose term

It could be really fun to follow along on the character's adventures without needing to check in on the threads daily.

This a million times. If we could manage a way to do this, it would be incredible.

Just throw the responsibility at one schmuck and have them pick semi-randomly. I doubt the Duels community will care very much about which decklist is highlighted as long as there's interesting discussion to be had.

I'm sorry, but the only reason you can even begin to say that with a straight face is that you are not part of that community. It would be like handing someone from DOTP the responsibility to pick a random thread of the week over from your favorite subforum. Would you like Jack picking the card of the month by whatever standards I decide I want to use?


I'll start a thread about this over there actually. See what we can get people to agree on.

Letting DJ pick things would be akin to letting Door pick the next cards to ban in 3cm. Yes, there would be an intelligent system behind it. But no, I would not fully support such a system.
