Googley Goodness
It's kind of funky. All of my games are front pages results for searches on the title.
"blank shield" - Blank Shield Press is pretty close to the top (#4) when you run this (and pops right to the top as soon as you combine it with anything like game), which hasn't been the case in times past.
"blood and bronze" - I'm not stunningly suprised with results for Blood and Bronze - it's a unique-ish name, although having the top result is gratifying.
"brick battles" - Oddly enough, the BSP page for Brick Battles is no where to be found in the first several pages of links. However, the top 4 results are all different site results for BB - Board Game Geek, Brickwars, brickwiki and IPR. So that's cool. I also found a bunch of indications of actual play. Sweet!
"death's door" - this is the one that really blew my socks off. See, 'death's door' is a stunningly common phrase. Like, not just out there in general, but also in gaming circles - apparantly it's the whole "being at zero hit points" term for D&D and a bunch of other games. And there's a D20 supplement/module called "At Death's Door" and a couple other things. And there's a flash or java game or something like that splattered all across the 'net. And a movie called 'At Death's Door'. And a couple mainstream books published called "Death's Door". Not to mention the Gaimen "Death: At Death's Door" comic. When I did this search a couple years ago, the first mention of my game was buried about 15 pages deep in Google. Today? Result #3. Combine it with "rpg" or "game" actually drops it down in the ratings. Very, very cool.
Neat.
