An Old Fashioned Hobby Web Directory

Call for Submissions

Web search has been dead for some time and it’s getting deader as garbage-in, garbage-out “AI” summaries, algorithm-induced tunnel vision, and large website payola directs all searches to Facebook, Pinterest, and big company websites, if it directs anywhere relevant at all. To fight back against this, we’re going old school: the hand-curated web directory, with categories, hyperlinks, and short descriptions. There is still a lot of good, amateur content for wargames and RPGs out there, whether on Substack, blogs, or handcrafted websites, and we deserve to get to look at them again.

I’m calling it the Major General Tremorden Rederring Memorial Web Directory, in honor of the greatest tabletop wargaming site ever made.

As a public service, Splendor of Fire will host this tabletop hobby web directory and evaluate your submissions. The criteria for admission are straight forward:

1. The website must have substantial material dedicated to tabletop wargaming and/or role playing games.

2. It must not be AI-generated slop; it must have been created by a real human.

3. It must not be a clickfarm/news aggregator. I want actual articles and photographs, not merely press releases and drama-of-the-day screen caps of Twitter feeds.

4. No large manufacturer/store websites. They are already easy to find and get enough attention.

5. No blasphemous, degenerate, or sexually explicit content will be accepted. No political activist subversives masquerading as hobbyists will be platformed.

6. Youtube/Rumble/etc… channels or podcasts are fine, as long as they fit the other criteria.

7. The site does not have to be actively updated. I don’t care if it’s from 25 years ago, if it still works.
