As many people may have noticed a limited amount of news updates to this site, well there's been good reason for this...Many of the programs of the Ohio Gamers Organization have been moved around & re-focused. Most of the programs that continue under the OGO banner have been put on a clean little shelf until we can rake in a little funding. We are currently focused on becoming registered as a CHARITABLE non-profit group. Once that is accomplished, then the programs we have put on hold will be able to continue. The one primary program that will continue currently is our membership program, we will still continue to build our membership & build our list of retailers that will offer discounts, and our other list of perks & benefits for your membership. We will also continue to assist these manufactures, publishers & retailers that work with us, by demoing their games at conventions & inside retail stores. We will also be bringing you a new & revamped ohiogamers.org website with new features, a revamped forums board, and even a few new features we have never offered before. To read about our other active programs, and what is going on then =>

For those of you who have not noticed yet, several of our more profitable programs have been transferred to our sister company OGO Publications, which is our fully functional publishing company:

GAMERS Newspaper, which is, as of Nov 2008 has entered its 1 year anniversary & reached a distribution of close to 1000 throughout Ohio. We will so be expanding our distribution area outside of Ohio to a NATIONAL Level. We will soon also offer a subscription service.

The D20 Girls Project (formerly known as the Girls of Gaming) Is continuing to morph & expand into more than just a Calendar. Soon, this innovative program will be bring events & attractions that appeal to & spotlight the Female Gamer. Of course never fear, we will still continue to bring you your favorite gamer girls in their very own calendar. The d20 Girls has grown to a national level! Check out thier own site here: http://www.d20girls.com

NEOVENTION: Starting 2010, this innovative resurrection of a 20 year old convention will quickly rise to become our flagship convention.You can seem more at http://neovention.org

NOVOCON: Our Premier Game day event. Moving to Columbus in 2010, will quickly rise to become a major fundraising event to assist in the development of Neovention.

Also, with this new company comes new developmental services & projects:

Game Publishing: OGO Publications is a fully functional publishing company, that operates for the benefit of smaller game designer. We will continue to help with the development of small independent game designers. We will also work with other publishing companies to help publish your game more cost effectively that we can. We just want to see your game out on the market!

Merchandising/Promotion:  along with the many different merchandise ideas that we use to promote ourselves, we will also offer many merchandising ideas to help promote your game, convention, service, etc..

Developmental Concepts: We are also on the edge of debuting one of our most exciting services/projects that we have ever come up with, we are not ready to mention it publicly here. But be assured you will hear of it, you will see it, and you will talk about it...

So keep checking back. it may take a few months before we really get rolling on this site again & debut the revamped site... But its all about big things happening & we need to focus on things in a certain order to make sure they are successful.

Remember.. its all a Game, and we are Gamers!
