Successful projects rely on well-known Internet celebrities to spread the word. Who are some of those that we can contact?

A few that I can think of:

- TotalBiscuit
- Rock Paper Shotgun (they have featured Darkwind twice, so that's a good start, but we must contact either Quinns, Dan or Alec)
- GameBanshee
- RPGWatch
- TIGSource (they featured Darkwind before too)

Anyone else? I'm not talking about posting in forums btw, but rather informing authors or bloggers that have a good following.

Definitely this one, they seemed to have a very well-matched audience with DW.

Send a personal messsage to Groove Champion

I found this game through http://www.boardgamegeek.com (someone mentioned DW in a forum thread)

It's a boardgame database but they run a selection of videogame ads on the site. You should definitely find a good number of nostalgic CW fans there too.

Also, http://fortressat.com/ (BGG's competitor)

One of the long time players metrocube is a member of QTT. In fact, based on my leet stalker skills, I found out it was he who spread the gospel of Darkwind there
