SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

So, I have one again sworn off politics, like an alcoholic swears off drink. No more editorials, no more articles, no more blogs.

So, I want to replace the hole in my RSS reader with some gaming blogs.

Sell me on your favorites. (Or maybe yours.)

Define gaming blogs.  RPGs only, boardgames, video games?

RPG blogs, or blogs that focus mainly on RPG's.

(Mine does, though I've analyzed movies, TV shows, webcomics, and such.)

Ok, I'll go [strike]first[/strike] second.

This is my blog that I use to follow about 100 or so that lean towards the GM and Old-School sides. There are some more random blogs like "The CRPG addict" that covers computer role-playing games from the beginning. My political blog roll has been reduced to just Theo Spark.

This is my blog that I post to on an inconsistent basis. I have a lot of things I want to put up but just can't seem to get motivated for one reason or another, but at least it has the weather where I live.

Well, I don't really read RPG and boardgame blogs, since I've got here and The Geek for those two.  I do read MMO blogs, however.

This is the Traditional RPG Main Forum. It should be about just that.

Pity, blogs are generally better because you don't have threadcappers running amonk on them and the writer can actually lay out his thoughts in some detail without being derailed by passing idiots.

That said, most of the ones I used to follow like like Zachary's RPG Blog II have shutdown (or nearly shutdown) over the years. You can't enter the blog space and swing a cat without hitting a dozen OSR blogs, but anything else is rather rare.

So my first paragraph is somewhat dated, and I have nothing to recommend.

Not a blog, but a free online Fanzine from the days when those were a thing, and its not recent at all, but everyone should read through Paul Mason's IMAZINE at least once. Especially if immersive gaming is your thing.

Google currents is a good app that will collect RSS feeds for you.

Pulse and flipboard are also nice.

Tenkar's Tavern is good for OSR news and such, especially Kickstarter
http://www.tenkarstavern.com/

I also like his blog roll.

OTOH, the best blog for gaming content is John Stater's Nod

Yeah, my site isn't dead, but it is updated much less. I try to write as I have time, which has been especially at a premium as of late. Heck, I wasn't even posting here for a long while.
