Tracer Rounds – The Inaugural Column
A new weekly column ~
Brant Guillory, 4 January 2016
So it’s a new year, with an updated look in our forums, and the continuing evolution of our community overall here at GrogHeads. And with the new year, we’re launching a few new ideas, starting with this one, a new weekly column. I’m going to have some regular things I’ll hit each week, but first, I wanted to take a few moments and talk about where this comes from.
First, this needs come clarifying: I’m not “the guy that runs GrogHeads”. There’s a partnership of several of us. We had a few other founders who have left the team for their own personal reasons over the years, but there’s more than just me here steering the ship, and always has been. I’m just the most visible one, because I’m the editorial content guy here, and that also translates into making sure we distribute the content through social media channels. But anyone that thinks that les GrogHeads c’est moi is mistaken.
When we decided we wanted to include ‘front page’ content – regular columns, reviews, AARs, etc – the hope was to recapture some of the intelligent, erudite, and insightful commentary we’d previously been a part of elsewhere. It was a high bar to shoot for, and it would be foolish to claim we’ve cleared it regularly, though not for lack of trying. Personally, I was hoping for the front page to become the “Grantland of wargaming” which is crazy-hard to do with our budget, which consists of a handful of free games, some pocket lint, and about 11¢. But there’s another reason why it’s so hard.
Merry Christmas, Grogs!
Share your holiday thoughts here, and then get off the internet and go play some games!
Last Call for Readers’ Choice Award Nominations
Hey everyone – now that 2015 is almost wrapped up, we need to remind you to get your nominations in for our Readers’ Choice Awards.
Note that many of our forumites will offer suggestions for categories, but we will re-sort them as needed based on the nominations, when the time comes.
The only rule is that the game (or expansion, as appropriate) must have been released in the 2015 calendar year.
Look for voting to open up in early January, and run until the end of the month.
