Do you have a gaming-related blog?

[Mystery Man]

I started blogging my campaign because I was just too damn lazy to keep up a web page. It was just an easy way for me to post a recap without having to edit any HTML myself.

One thing I've really enjoyed about my campaign blog, (and I've been keeping it for a couple of years now in some shape or form moving from blog site to blog site) is being able to go back and revisit some of the things that really had an impact on the campaign that I may have forgotten. One of the things that struck me as well that I didn't realize is that my players actually enjoyed it! I had no intention of creating it for them really. It was just going to be a way for me to document my campaign. I had just linked them to it once as an afterthought, sort of an "oh by the way" if they wanted a recap of what was happening currently and I sort of just forgot about it. I had no idea that it would actually be important to them and they never really said much regarding it (not that I really needed them to) until I went a couple of months without an entry and they started to get on my case.

So for me, blogging my campaign has really turned out to be an enjoyable experience. One that I think I'll keep doing.

I sure do, It's on my signature.

It even got mentioned in Knights of the Dinner Table.
That was a happy day for me.

Why yes, yes I do. OK, I started it yesterday. But I've been kicking around the idea for quite some time, and have a fair bit of stuff that I've been saving up on various computers to add to it. So now it has a bit o' jink. And with this thread and that other one about comics (which I can't seem to find...), I've linked to many new sites that I want to check out, and of course will post my reviews of them (as all good bloggers should )

Enjoy!

I started a blog to track my progress in developing an RPG Project from start to finish.

The thinking was...Anyone who came upon it would become privy to the thought process behind the creative and business decisions. Sort of a...'Behind the Curtain' look at the poor guy pulling the levers.

I did the same thing with a column I wrote on RPGnet back in the heady, pre-blog days of 1999.

It was fairly successful. When the game was released, we already had a built-in audience for it, and it sold out of its print run fairly quickly. I've only just re-released the game in PDF format, and was approached recently by a Spanish publisher looking to license a translation.

Not sure if the marketing impact would be the same, now that blogs are as common as they are, but I'd be interested to see the results.

I never have had a blog. I just couldn't imagine 1) staying on topic or 2) having anythign interesting to say. I tried to keep my website current, but that didn't turn out too well, either. I'm just really not very interesting, and most of it would be either weird rants or way overpowered and simplistic gaming that no one would care about.
