Name This Blog, Win A Prize

UPDATE for June 3: Thanks to everyone for their entries. The contest is now closed. Make sure to come back on Friday when I announce the winner!

It’s time, I think.

When I started this web site, it was called “Dungeons and Dragons Reviews” and it was designed to be more of a static, article-based site, featuring reviews of D&D products. I quickly discovered, however, that I enjoyed the interactivity of blogging about Dungeons and Dragons much more than I enjoyed writing articles, and so The DMs Blog was born as a part of DnDReviews.com.

Today, I find myself in a branding crisis. I have no desire to write reviews all day long, so DnDReviews.com isn’t necessarily appropriate anymore. I could stick with “The DM’s Blog,” but I don’t think it is nearly original enough to describe what I do here. On top of that, folks like Yax at Dungeonmastering.com and Phil from ChattyDM.net sort of have the “DM” market cornered.

So, I’m at a bit of a loss. I need a new name.

This is where YOU come in.

Between now at June 3, 2008, I need as many suggestions as I can get for a name for this blog. Put yours right down below in the “comments” section. On June 4, I will pick my favorite, and announce the winner on the day 4E is released, June 6. The winner will receive her choice of any one of the 3 core 4E books, or a $25 Amazon.com gift certificate.

You can enter as many times as you’d like. Be creative. Be unique. Be interesting. Here’s what I know I want:

I want a blog name that has an available “.com” domain. In other words, if I’m to be The Jolly DM, I want jollyDM.com to be available. You can find whether a domain is available at http://www.domainsearch.com/.

  • I want a blog name that has one of these keywords in it: dnd, dungeon, dragon, rpg, or roleplaying. This point isn’t mandatory, but if you can incorporate one of them it’d be swell.
  • I want a blog name that is no more than 3 words long (excluding the word “blog”).
  • I want a blog name that represents my writing style and my blog’s mission. For my writing style, you’d have to read some of my posts. For the mission, well, here is my newly-minted mission statement:

“(Name)’s purpose is to provide interesting and insightful information for Dungeons and Dragons players, DMs and fans, to facilitate discussion of issues in the Dungeons and Dragons community, and to serve the gaming community at large.”

Good luck to everyone. If you have questions, email me here: bob at dnd reviews dot com.
