Ok, I used the Dville link to Amazon and placed an order. Now, I forget, what does that do for us? I remember it was something cool for Dville.

Also, on the front page of Dville it is showing the featured product as the Furminator. WONDERFUL!! If you have kitties or a fluffy puppy, get one. They are great. I got the small, blue, one for my kitties. It works wonders.

Did you know that Densaville has an arcade? It’s at the back of our local laundromat. You do not have to be a resident to come in and play, just have a little bit of free time and the desire for a challenge.

Have you visited our arcade? What is your favorite game? Would you like to see more games added? What other features would you like on the arcade page?

Let me know in the comments!

The holidays are officially over at my house, so I am back to traveling the information highway looking for neat articles and other sites and sounds for your enjoyment.

Are there any special areas of interest which you would like to explore? I am one of those that sets goals for myself every year and I have the usual diet one, but I am also intending to do stuff around the house. So I will probably be browsing a lot of sites on home improvement and self improvement.

Also, this blog has a long list of authors. So to you authors out there, post some articles in your own area of interest that you want to share! Let’s get this site jumping!

Amazon.com is offering up great deals from 6am-6pm on Black Friday (the Friday after Thanksgiving). If you shop their Black Friday page from the following link, any qualifying purchases go toward a gift certificate for Densaville!

The Call of Cthulhu Gamers Club site is now open at this link (added to our blogroll, too!).  Further updates on the Gamers Club will be posted there. Be sure to subscribe to the RSS feed if you want to know when the site is updated! I will be filling out the site with a lot of the basics shortly and updating it after each gaming session.

The Densaville Call of Cthulhu Gamers Club will be starting a new game in the next two weeks. The game itself will be taking place in our gaming room in our private Resident Center (our message board). For the first time, though, the story will be presented here on Densaville.com for sharing with our family and friends! Your comments on the action will be most welcome.

If you are unfamiliar with Call of Cthulhu (”CoC”), here are the basics:

• CoC is a role playing game .. this means that there is a story and the Players play characters within the story. The story is presented by a narrator or gamemaster. In CoC, this person is called a “Keeper of Lore” or just “Keeper.” The Keeper describes the scenes and characters that the players meet during the tale. The Players make all the decisions on what they do in the story, so we never know how it will turn out… not even the Keeper knows!
• CoC’s stories are based on the writings of H. P. Lovecraft, a horror writer of the 1920’s. Most games take place in the 1920’s and our game will as well. The “mythos” Lovecraft created for his stories are the basis for the scenarios played, as well as the creatures and characters encountered.

Any Densavillagers who wish to play should sign up in the Call of Cthulhu Gamers Club. Anyone who wants to watch the story unfold and see how well ( or IF) our players survive, watch the Gamers Club or Densaville.com for further info.

Why are there suddenly Amazon.com ads in Densaville? Well Densaville.com now has an “Associate” account. That means if you make a purchase from Amazon using the links on our site, 4% will come back to us.

I have asked to be reimbursed in Amazon.com gift certificates. What I will do is use the gift certificate to purchase something from Amazon, which will be a prize for a community event of some sort.

We have PLENTY of time to get events planned, as they won’t send me anything until we have earned a minimum of $10.

I am trying to insert the code so that whenever you post an article (such as a book review), a link to the item will automatically appear in the text if you use the exact name of the product as it is shown on Amazon.com. Purchases made through those links will credit Densaville as well. (If I set it up right.)
