Title: I've Got My Own RPG Blog Now!
Post by: Mordred Pendragon on May 25, 2018, 03:34:19 PM
As of today, I have officially created my own dedicated blog to gaming and my first actual blog in general. So far, it's only got two entries, but more are on the way and I can't wait to get feedback from my fellow gamers!

Link is posted below and in my signature.

https://docsammyrpg.blogspot.com

The blog will mostly focus on OSR concepts and the like, but I will also discuss other games and gaming concepts!

Good luck with the blog. I love to read other peoples thoughts on roleplaying games. Today you taught me about Sturgeon's Law, a term I had never come across before...

Not yet, but when I can get a working camera or microphone, I will make YouTube videos.

Posting so I see this again. I took a brief look and may check out that Pub forum you mentioned in your most recent post.

RPG Pub is a nice little forum, where people are, by and large, still pleasant. That is beginning to change, though, but only slowly.

Which he doesn't actually do. He gives a one off shout out. The rest of the posts are as said about games. Did you look at the blog?

I never claimed to hate this forum. I just think that Pundit's idea for a D&D version of GamerGate is a really dumb idea. Which it is.

If I didn't look at the blog, how would I know that the first post seen was an advertisement for another forum? :rolleyes:

It's certainly easier to navigate on my phone.

The culture war is in everything now. Maybe you think your side is the winning one?

The sad part is that I don't want the culture war to contaminate my hobbies and yet it is. Sad, really.

The winning side is the one with the most people who engage in physical activity on a regular basis.

Agree with you 100%, Don't know why it's happening though, its definitely a very vocal minority muddying the waters so to speak... and muddy water doesn't taste very good

The more sad part is that one side of the war is going retroactive on everything, and ignoring the original contexts of those things. Be careful of what you posted online decades ago, kind of thing. See media mob rule.

So ANTIFA all the way then.

People who do something will always accomplish more than people who sit on their ass waiting for someone else to do it for them. Couch Commandos only exercise their jaws.

This thread has veered off topic into wider politics. Also, since it seems to be mainly for advertising for an anti-pundit clone-rpgsite microforum in the desperate hope of parasitically drawing off membership is not really good taste, it's basically trolling.
