So, here we are. Another gaming blog. I wonder what most bloggers feel, right about now. I'm sure everyone's got their own reasons, but like overall, in aggregate, y'know? Do you think most people are nervous? Are they excited? Or do they, like, just not think about it much?
"Oh, hey, I want to post those chase rules I wrote, but I think I'm still banned over at RPG.net."
Like most people with a blog pointed in the general direction of tabletop roleplaying, chucking dice and elf-pretending means a lot to me. I've made some of the best friends around a gaming table, and I've done it in a few different places now. My wedding was held at Gen Con. I have a d10 tattooed on my chest. I'm not bringing this up to get nerd points, or geek cred, honest. The point here is that I really, really like gaming, and when I'm not doing something important, or something that involves paying bills, or something that involves not speeding or blowing through a stop sign or getting pulled over, my mind comes back to gaming.
But... I don't do much with it. I try and make sure I'm always running a game, and I read some forums and communities, and the occasional blog, but outside of my scrawled notes (or more recently, my irregularly maintained campaign wiki over on Obsidian Portal,) I don't do much outside of my weekly sessions and the time I put aside for planning those sessions.
So, that's why I'm here. I don't have grand designs with this blog. Mostly, I'm lazy, I'm bored, and I need to spin my wheels somewhere. I'm going to try and keep something that vaguely resembles a schedule. Ideally, it'll look like a couple tiny posts a week, and maybe something a bit bigger when I have a day off. Really, I just want to stretch my legs a bit and build some good habits.
I guess I am a little nervous and a little excited, and while I don't think I've ever been banned over at RPG.net, I just might have some chase rules.
