    Hello all,

    The forum has been growing with a lot of new faces and games being played. When the forum mods originally introduced the 'Other Forum Games' sub forum i dont know if we ever imagined it would be as busy as it now is!

    With this in mind, we have discussed and decided to implement some changes in the sub forum structures.

    The D&D sub forum has now been changed into the 'Forum Games Tournament' sub forum. This will mean that any 'Ultimate' or 'Boardsies Decide' Tournaments that will take place will be hosted here! In addition, any previous tournaments hosted in 'Other Forum Games' will be moved over.

    At the same time, in an effort to keep access to our D&D threads and allow for any future games to be played here in the Forum Games forum, all the D&D threads will be moved to 'Other Forum Games'. Any new games that should start will be hosted in 'Other Forum Games' going forward.

    We hope this will give our Tournament threads a home for themselves, as well as make 'Other Forum Games' a little easier to browse and navigate.

    A new charter will be implemented for 'Forum Games Tournaments' and we will be updating the 'Other Forum Games' and main 'Forum Games' Charters in line with these changes to the forum structure.

    If you have any feedback on this, please post it here in this thread.

    Good call imo.

    The tournament threads generate a lot of activity so nice to see that recognised with their own home. Shame that D&D isn't as active as it used to be but good it still has a home in Other Forum Games.

    Great idea.

    Will Walrus/Surlaw still stay in Other Forum Games or move to Forum Game Tournaments?

    Think its the right call for them to stay in OFG personally.

    Sounds good

    Can I just check one thing?
    If running, say, a SHEEP game, is it right to run it in Forum Games then reveal in Other Forum Games? I'm never 100% sure I'm doing the right thing, now seemed like a good time to check!
    (as the next game is nearly ready to go ;))

    So there are two phases to most games - sign ups and reveals. The idea is you do sign ups in the main forum game forum, and do the reveal in OFG.

    (so you have it bang on)
