Tomorrow is when the real fun with bySwarm.com begins. We are kicking off the setting concept contest that will create the theme and overall view for our role-playing game setting. The programming on this has been some really fun sweat equity over the last several weeks. Not only is it really slick, but I've also been increasing my Drupal fu during the process.

Once the setting contest is live, people will be able to submit setting concepts and vote on the concepts of others. While that is going on, I'll be adding some merchandising to the site in the form of t-shirts, hats, and gaming journals. The contest will run for at least a couple months, so there will be plenty of time to participate.

I'll also be working on the next set of technical features for the actual building of the setting. This will be the real meat of the project because it is what will be the Swarm's product. I'm hoping that we end up with hundreds of people flexing their creativity to contribute to something really fun and useful for gamers and even change how the industry operates.

The buzz is building as the Swarm comes to life.
