Ideas to improve heRO

[Jens]

You could do a character background story or something like a character/role play part in the news letter, sorta like you're having an interview with a character rather then a player (also kinda stimulates the RP aspect of the game), could simply make a topic for the Character of the Month with questions and PM those with answers to a GM (if one is willing to take this job on him/her). From the PM's the GM's can pick one for that months newsletter.

(though i think its fun to kinda get to know the player behind a character as well as getting to know someone's characters personality).

Could do both, break the fourth wall, intertwine the players and characters and let them interact??

I think a newsletter is quite nice, it could stimulate the community, share server updates or upcoming updates, links to polls, dungeon or map of the month, heRO wiki or quests. A Q&A (of FAQ) topic like someone suggested, stimulate Light versus Dark maybe with player stories or ToH related stories etc, a custom gear of the month or something that sort of thing.

If needed or wanted i don't mind helping with the aesthetic part of the newsletter, for more info or questions the GM's can PM me.

And maybe kickstart the GMs - and perhaps the players themselves - to renew the RP aspect of LvD, nobility, and all that used to be here.
