I am sure everyone has seen we have over 25 members now. What a great community so far. Everyone has been insightful, friendly, and inspirational!
I am curious to find out everyone's thoughts on increasing our membership. Main how do you think we, as a community should go about it?

I found out about this site from the Two Hour Wargams Yahoo thread on Paintball. Bobby you have one sexy artistic hand there (maybe two even!).
So I make member 27 (fav. number)

Mr. Abaddon? Have you been demoted and lost your lordship?

What would be your goal of increasing membership?
To promote only your games or the oversoul group members projects or to appeal to the greater paper community in one fashion or another?
Would you be interested in creating a site with e-commerce possibilities?
Since this is your site, this would be your call on where you would like to take it.
Along with bandwidth, accesability issues and storage, how big would you like it to get?

I really think the only way to increase participatory membership is to have people play our games. Whether this means making sure games are complete and are interesting, or just making more of them, I don't know??

Along with bandwidth, accesability issues and storage, how big would you like it to get? In the end this site was set up to promote our games and to facilitate our creation by the occassional ego boost. As a secondary it is to promote fan creative-variation of our games. I make no secret of it and it should be obvious through our post. Do not get me wrong I am a person with friendship in mind and I do love hearing peoples ideas and they are welcome here so long as they do not shadow our games. I do not feel it is solely my call. I share this dream equally with PJ and Shaun. This is OUR site. But personally I do feel that if it where not for people playing our games or taking an interest in what we are doing this site would not exist. So those that support us do have a say in what we do. If people love Dungeon Plungin' but hate splatball which do I continue work on? I feel membership is linked to how players feel about us. Low but consistent membership tells me yes a small crowd plays our games but plays them regularly, which is good. Do we need more membership? In the end no I am happy with who is here. But I feel membership inspires creativity and the more members the more chance for creativity. Perhaps if there was more posting instead, that might fill the same gap. Any comments abut that?

I have to be honest I have not played any of the games you all have painstakingly created but I do enjoy the graphics side of the house.
Would you be interested in starting up a modification/expansion section?
Where members could create or modify new characters for your games and post them for others to use (or not) or for other more talented rules creators to add new rules to cover them.
As I have said before, I enjoy the process of modifying figures and coming up with new ideas/concepts. I have not previously worked with your figures because they were intended to be for sale (commercial copyrighted). I enjoy Patricks style but I have always been a fan of the style you all use here as well.
Look forward to hearing your thoughts on this one!

I found out about the website a quite a while ago, back in the paperworld days. I didn't know about the forum until Historygamer2 pointed me this way.
I've always liked the Pygmies game, although I haven't played in quite a while. These days I mainly use paper figures while role playing, and the discussion on a pygmy rpg sounded very interesting!

Historygamer2: I like the idea of modifications to the figures here. Dungeon Plungin' could use this sort of thing to populate the figure range. I await to see what the others Oversoul guys say?
Arkcaver: Good to see you here also! Welcome and I hope we have plenty to offer you!

I have never had a problem with mods. I consider it complimentary to take someone's initial idea and run wild with it!!!!

I think it would be a compliment to see my minis being used as bases for other minis. Oh, and by the way... Don't forget our Hares and Tortoises!
