Today happens to be the fifth Tuesday of April, and that actually creates a hole in our article schedule.
I write two series, the Faith in Play series that appears on the first Tuesday of every month, and the RPG-ology series that runs the third week. Other members of the Christian Gamers Guild typically fill the second and fourth weeks, most notably Mike Garcia with his game stories and special rules and setting information, but we’ve also had quite a few contributions from R. C. Brooks and his D20 game setting, guild board member Eric Vandenhende, guild president Reverend Rodney Barnes, and our webmaster Bryan Ray. They all have real-world jobs, though, so it’s understandable that they don’t keep pace with someone who spends nearly all his time writing and reading things others have written. It thus sometimes happens that there’s nothing to post.
I’m writing this not merely to fill a slot that would otherwise have been empty, but to recognize—and to get you to recognize—that we welcome contributions from other writers. We had a wonderful piece at the end of last month from Stephen Taylor, not a member of the guild but head of Games for All in the United Kingdom, about how to launch and run a games or hobby ministry. We would love to have more perspectives on more related subjects from more Christians, and if you have something to say about faith and leisure activities, and don’t know where to say it, the invitation is extended to you to give us your idea here and we’ll try to slate you into one of our openings.
Probably the easiest way to let us know you’re interested is to post a comment at the bottom of this page; we’ll see that you commented, and follow up somehow. You can also reach either Bryan or me through Facebook, such as messaging the Christian Gamers Guild’s Facebook page or contacting us personally.
I look forward to reading your thoughts, and I’m sure our many readers do so as well.

I am interested in talking with you about contributing to the site.

Osye, I’m going to drop you an e-mail at the address registered with your name; I hope that’s all right. I don’t usually use e-mail, but it seems the best choice at the moment.
