What Blogs are Yall Reading

Zenoguy3 · January 29, 2025, 04:42:35 PM

I signed up for Questing Beast's Glatisant newsletter and I enjoy the vertical slice of the TTRPG blogosphere window it opens, though I find a lot of the actual articles spotlighted fairly boring. That's got me wondering, what blogs or other online publications do yall keep up with? I'm hoping to do a better job of walking the walk when it comes to my beliefs of a decentralized internet.

I make the rounds and find interesting articles in many places. Recently my blog views have jumped up to a surprising number, which makes me think that someone else is copying files to make a book of and sell quietly somewhere, again. I need to get this beast printed.

Thx for the recs, although out of them, yours is the one I'll get the most use out of. Those magic items are exactly the kind of thing I need for my westmarches.

One thing, the link in your signature is broken, it points to

Code Select

http://"http//ancientvaults.wordpress.com/%22 which doesn't work, I had to copy-paste the domain to get there.

Thank you very much for that kind comment. I am cursed as I have tried to end the blog, yet the ideas (and I know that some are not my A-game) don't stop. Take them and have fun with the madness.

edit: I am on the link right now, thank you!

NP, thx for the ideas. I think I'm going to adapt that magical die idea for my setting. There's 12 major deities, so rolling a d12 and getting a spell efect themed depending on which one you get would be super interesting. I also like the idea of the die being the epicenter of the effect, so you can throw it like a grenade, and have to recover it after the fact.

Also, your link works now.

I mostly go to the Old School RPG Planet.
It's a compiler that chunks together hundreds of blogs so you can pick and choose articles based on the title of the blog entry.

That is the idea of my blog-take an item and make a spell out of it or vice versa, just have fun with it. Good to know the link works too.
