The RPG Site Book Store..

Mcrow · October 06, 2006, 05:26:24 PM

Ok, I'm going forward with this idea.

I'm not sure how much interest there is but here we go:

http://www.milscifi.squarespace.com/

I'm building a Amazon associate book store to help cover the cost of this site. I'm looking for opinions and such as to what people want in the store.

You can see what I have put in there so far and eventually I'm going to add nearly every RPG I can find on amazon to it.

Are there any games/Novels you would like to see in particular? That way I can get to them first.

You had a request for file hostings? Maybe it would be a nice place to store the Runquest SRD?

Suggestion: Make you nav rollovers some other color besides black. White or a lither red or something that contrasts more.

That looks good.

Now will that work if anyone else puts the same sort of code in there?

I'm not sure if full HTML can be enabled by anything other than a drupal admin. However, I'm more than happy to insert code upon request, and maybe Pundit can give you drupal admin powers too if he feels it's needed.

The main question would be whether Mcrow would have any clue what to do or how to work with Drupal if he had Drupal Admin powers?

If so I really wouldn't have a problem giving him Drupal Admin status.

Well, as far as enabling it, it's a simple matter of clicking "edit" on a given review, scrolling down, and clicking "full HTML."

You'll want to preview it first, as it often adds extra linebreaks that should be edited out, but so long as you're careful it's not dangerous.

I'd like to see a lot of the smaller-market titles available through Amazon. We have some excellent small and medium-sized gaming companies represented on the site, and it'd be cool to link whatever titles are available through those means.

Oh, and if I can be completely partisan for a moment, maybe add some Rifts Ultimate Edition, other Palladium books, and Palladium Fantasy as well?

yeah, I plan to get games like Epic RPG on there, Rifts, and some of the smaller publishers that are sold there as well. The hard part is finding them all on there, the search function for RPGs is a bit lacking.

Zachary The First · October 09, 2006, 11:27:04 AM

If you have a list of RPGs you want, I'll volunteer some time to search for the links.

I added a bunch of Palladium stuff.

It would be a big help if you could get the ISBNs for the Palladium books that are missing from the list. The way I have the website setup all I have to do is plug in the ISBN and it will auto matically search Amazon for the book. If it is there it will automatically place it on my site.
