In keeping with our remodeling of the forums and the fact that the release of Total War: Rome II is just a few months away, Staff is opening a BADGE COMPETITION. We are opening this competition to the public; the forums are bursting with energy, enthusiasm, and talent, and we'd love to see what everyone can come up with! The badges MUST be Roman-themed or, at least, clearly related to Antiquity (we wouldn't be averse to seeing a hoplite or two).

Come view the rest of the rules and enter now!

A Game of Thrones

You win or you die...



The Dragon Kings are gone, and the great rebel Robert Baratheon is dead. His weak heir sits tenuously on the Iron Throne, and Targaryen survivors eye opportunistically from across the Narrow Sea. As the Realm slowly recovers from a long and devastating war, opportunities are everywhere.

The Crown's authority is weak, the rule of law governs the Seven Kingdoms only on paper, and the Great Houses must adjust to the new Royal Line. In the North, Wildlings are growing increasingly menacing as the Night's Watch dwindles. Across the Narrow Sea, Targaryens plot a return to the Throne. In the Seven Kingdoms themselves, countless plots, intrigues and schemes unfold.

Enter the Game of Thrones for yourself and make your mark on Westeros as anything from a Lord to a peasant: the game is rebooting and now is your chance to get involved right from the start!

Do you enjoy writing? Do you enjoy video games? Do you like things that involve both at the same time? Do you enjoy having a console peasant as a boss?

If all of these things apply to you (especially that last one), then you just might have the right jib to be a writer for the Gamer's Gazette. As a writer for the Gamer's Gazette, it is your job to produce content revolving around non-TW games, whether that be reviews, opinion pieces, previews, etc.

The Gamer's Gazette is looking to hire around three new writers to help produce content. If you are interested contact Confederate Jeb via private message. Having some writing under your belt on the site will help your cause, and I will require a test article for evaluation... which may feature in the next edition!

So what are you waiting for? Join Content Staff and the Gamer's Gazette today!
