More GOLD press mentions, Pre-GenCon

August 19, 2009 | David

GOLD got some great press in the 2 weeks or so running up to GenCon.

Unfortunately, because we were just so crazy busy with GenCon preparation, I didn’t have time to link back to them all. Here they are:

• The Omnivangelist, a great no-nonsense blogs about all things gaming (tabletop, collectibles and all manner of on and offline video games) included a whole section just for GOLD in it’s July 30th Time Stop: omnivangelist.net/wp/?p=613.
  
   
• The ENnies, the annual RPG Awards sponsored by the venerable ENWorld, has a category called “Best Regalia,” which acknowledges gamer-related goodies which improve the life of every gamer. While we didn’t get nominated, at least one judge thought we should have been, and he gives us a nice mention on his blog, Blogging the ENnies: enniejudge.blogspot.com/2009/07/best-regalia.html.
  
   
• Our new friends at RadNerd gave us a really nice write-up right before GenCon. These guys cover the intersection between geek and pop culture, and it’s a big honor to have a place on their site. Check it out: www.radnerd.com/?p=894
  
   
• GOLD was mentioned in a couple of Tubefilter articles in recent weeks. First, in an article by Rochelle Dancel of BJ Fletcher, PI: news.tubefilter.tv/2009/08/04/confessions-of-indie-web-series-creators-things-they-wish-they-knew/ (full version at Rochelle’s blog: www.rochelledancel.com/blog/2009/08/from-7-web-series-producers-what-we.html), and then in an article about discovery by web strategy expert Gennefer Snowfield: news.tubefilter.tv/2009/08/11/the-only-competition-for-web-series-is-unawareness/
  
   

Finally, GOLD’s acceptance into the New York Independent Television Festival got us some coverage:

• On Tubefilter: news.tubefilter.tv/2009/08/10/nytvf-announces-selections-loads-of-web-series-make-cut/
  
   
• And on the NYTVF site itself: www.nytvf.com/2009_ipc_selections.htm
  
   

Whew. That’s a lot of stuff. Thank you, everyone, for your kind support of GOLD. Next up: GOLD’s GenCon coverage.
