A little over a year ago, I tossed out the idea of holding a blog carnival for fellow gaming bloggers. The idea was well received and since then, we’ve had thirteen other carnivals. So now, here we are, one year later. Welcome to the first annivesary of the Carnival of Gamers. Step on up and wander around the Carnival of Gamers.

It started with a simple proposal, resulting in some interest. The first Carnival rolled through these parts in May (with a little controversy thrown in) and has continued on ever since. I thank all of the people who have been involved with the Carnival, whether it be participating or hosting or simply taking the time to enjoy the blogging, it’s been wild ride. I’m looking forward to many more Carnivals! [...] [...] Of course, the best blogging moment of 2005 for me was the birth of the Carnival of Gamers.

If your blog primarily deals with (say) DC politics and Chinese culture, but you make the occasional gaming post and you think you've got one that's really brilliant, you send it to that week's Carnival editor (the Carnival moves from blog to blog on a schedule). They assemble the best submissions, organize them, and host, then link to the next week's host blogger. It's also a great way to find new blogs to read, or to get your work out there if you're an intrepid "New Game Journalist," whatever that means--I've found several interesting writers through the Skeptics' Circle and Carnival of the Godless. Seriously, buttonmasher, let's talk about it. I think this is a great idea, and I'll host the first one/take care of setting up the logistics for it. I also went ahead and tipped off Kotaku to try to get some more submissions. The great thing about the Carnivals is that they provide for the random and the dedicated alike.

I'm so darn random that I can't promise much, but I'd definately try to support it. Sounds like a good plan. I’m so darn random that I can’t promise much, but I’d definately try to support it.
