Blogshelf
Okay, here's what's up. This post is designed to be a guide to enworld blogs, something a little bit friendlier than just a list of random names.
Think of it like a bookshelf--you can browse around, read the back cover or dust jacket, and pick up a book that catches your eye.
If you've got a blog, give a short description of it--what sort of things you write about, why someone would find it interesting, etc.--and post it in the comments. Don't forget to include a link.
Edit: At Asmor's excellent suggestion, I'll be migrating these entries to a Wiki as soon as Morris gets the Wiki system up and running.
Until then, keep posting your entries here.
Further Edit:
I've migrated everything to the wiki, here. This thread is now locked. If you want to add or modify your entry, follow the link to the wiki page.

Technomagicon - Occupational Skills - Crafting and Other Skills
Ongoing blog of development
The Technomagicon is a series of loosely connected products which experiment with the introduction of ideas and equipment from earlier and later time-periods into a fantasy setting. Other areas that may be covered include Firearms, Energy Weapons, Force Fields, Computers, Communication, Robots, and Vehicles.
Occupational Skills will detail skills ideal for non-heroic characters while offering options for Heroes that do not distract from of significantly enhance their encounter efficiency.

Every Thursday (I'm in the Philippines so this might be Wednesday evenings for you), I'll post a compilation of tabletop RPG podcasts.
Then over the weekend, hopefully I'll have a D&D 4E-related post.Posted 27th June 2008 at 01:50 PM by charlesatan - Kaodi's EN World Blog
I cannot say for sure what my blog will entail, though most likely it will be rather... random. But I hope that in the future it may be found to be worthwhile.Posted 27th June 2008 at 04:28 PM by Kaodi -
Verdande's Fatespinning:
Aether Peak: My homebrewed campaign setting, with a strong focus on a fallen goblin empire and monsters that are more human than they appear.
House Rules: Simple tweaks you can feel free to steal, borrow, or whatever.
Open Gaming : My pathetic attempt to homebrew-up a simple, extendable, dynamic game system.Posted 27th June 2008 at 04:51 PM by Verdande -

My blog is really just a place for me to put my software creations. I like having them all in one place, instead of interspersed and quickly disappearing on the message boards. Probably updated infrequently, since each post is a new piece of software that I've written.Posted 28th June 2008 at 01:10 AM by Asmor -
Since arscott has uber diplomacy powers, I'm posting here to add myself to his listing of blogs. Expect blog related activities there.

My blog will contain regular updates from my "spellscarred isles" campaign (loosely set in the Moonshae Isles of FR, but I'm taking huge liberties with the setting based largely on a lack of adequate research
), as well as my thoughts on the new system, which I think is great, and some special attention (at least in the short term) on Skill Challenges.Posted 28th June 2008 at 01:29 PM by Radiating Gnome -
Jack99's blog
Great initiative, mate.
My blog will describe what happens in the campaign I run in Draegor, a homebrew world designed for D&D 4th edition. Aside from just telling about what happens, I am including "DM's notes", where I talk about some of the aspects of the game from my side of the screen.
It will probably also contain other random rants and musings on rules, designers and products related to D&D (4e mostly).Posted 28th June 2008 at 01:31 PM by Jack99 -
Sure, why not?
my blog has my own personal gaming experiences/rants, of course. It'll also feature constant whining about hockey and my losses at poker.
Finally, it'll be a place for random game rules and add-ons that I've decided to work on, either for a campaign, or not.Posted 28th June 2008 at 09:34 PM by Wik -
Nerdronomicon Ex Dorkis
I'm planning to use my blog to record notes and ideas for the games I play with my friends, mostly Dungeons and Dragons, and hopefully for a new campaign. The players in my group just picked up fourth edition Dungeons and Dragons. I'm planning on using the new release as an excuse to try out some of my old ideas in a new campaign. I may end up letting my players know where this journal is so I can post notes and stuff for them, so anything I don't want a player to read will be posted behind a spoiler tag.Posted 29th June 2008 at 12:07 AM by nerdronomicon -
Thoughts of the Arch Chancellor will deal mostly with ideas on house rules and game design. Stuff I usually keep closed on my hard disk is now exposed for everyone to see and mock (hopefully actually to use and inspire more ideas.)
Maybe there will also be some reviews, or game play experiences, but I am not sure about that yet. (First, I'll have to see how often I actually post a new blog entry. )Posted 29th June 2008 at 01:45 AM by Mustrum_Ridcully

My foray into WotC freelance
Thanks for putting this list together. My blog's description is thus:
I have been a WotC contractor for a couple of years now, mostly administering campaigns for the RPGA. Recently, I have been doing design work for 4e products, as well as managing content for the RPGA's organized play campaign, Living Forgotten Realms. This blog will talk about my efforts in those areas and my experiences with 4e.

The Gemini Syndrome
My blog (when I occasionally post to it) will be about the split life that me and all of my friends seem to lead. It will examine married life, work, and every other facet that comes to mind. Overall, I want to look at the dual personalities us gamers are forced to assume in a world that is ignorant to our hobbies.Posted 30th June 2008 at 04:49 PM by VBMEW-01 -
What The Warlock Thinks...
On my blog you'll find:
Thoughts on various aspects of gaming;
Intersections of gaming and life;
Opinions and preferences for game system (D20, True20, Omni, and Pathfinder, primarily), and how I'm making them work for my games;
Other varied interests as the mood strikes - primarily art, computers & technology, and writing.Posted 1st July 2008 at 09:05 PM by The_Warlock -
THE FANTASIST
The Fantasist is a column about fantasy. It is a look at tropes and conventions. I'll spin on sources, giving variations designed to be used in roleplaying games. I am not sure of the total extent of what will be covered. After all, This is a topic that could span multiple books. I will try to update reasonably and as life dictates.
The Fantasist is not a column about a specific RPG. System is irrelevant in a discussion about burial rites, swordman's schools, or secret societies. Every article will make an effort to be equally usable if you play OD&D, 3E, 4E, True20, or GURPS.Posted 2nd July 2008 at 03:12 AM by Eosin the Red
