This is something of the typical "sorry I'm not posting more" post. I've been busy. I've been producing output that isn't blog material. And, you know, I'm a slacker.
There are a couple other reasons, too. Mark Meredith, better known as the Dice Monkey, threw out a challenge on Twitter a while back to comment on at least three blog posts a day. It is an excellent suggestion. I've been trying hard to keep up with that. Of course, that means that I need to keep up with a lot of blog posts. The new RPG Blog Alliance has been helping considerably with that. It especially helps me target blog posts that don't get a lot of traffic. I mean, I love Rob Donoghue's stuff, but he really doesn't need my comment just to let him know he's not howling into the wilderness.
And, I have to say, it's really important for me to get that kind of feedback. I know that I often have lulls in my posting precisely because I don't feel like anyone is reading them anyway. A comment, any comment, helps to alleviate that, and spur me to more posting. The ever-amazing Will Hindmarch made the same point on Twitter just yesterday. So, as the saying sort of goes, be the change you want to see. If I want traffic coming in here, I ought to give other blogs the love.
On another note, I've also been profligately wasting my word count. The aforementioned Mark is currently on something of a hiatus due to a beautiful new baby girl. I penned a couple of blog posts for him, one on An Unusual Source of GM Tips and one on Reward Types. So, go check those out.
And, remember people. Comments are love. (/pity party)
Great ppost thankyou
