Blogging Month in Review: July 2025

Somehow, I managed to meet my casual blogging quota for July. Hurrah. (Pauses to listen for the echoes. Carries on.) Today, I made a change to half of my blogs. I removed the widget that "conveniently" converts blog articles to PDFs because the service is no longer convenient and has devolved into a quagmire of misleadingly placed advertisements. The PDF button was an eyesore anyways. My blogs look marginally less cluttered now. Here is the tally for July...

Blogging Month in Review: May 2025

May has been the most productive month for my blogging output this year. I don't really know why. I would ponder the reasons and reflect on my experiences, but I am actually writing this on the morning of June the 1st and I haven't had my morning coffee yet. So, here's the tally...

Blogging Month in Review: April 2025

April is usually a good month for blogging since I instituted Random Generator Month, but this year is an exception. Maybe I'll skip a year, or maybe I'll postpone it to a later month. It's too early to tell. If I blog at all it's a minor miracle at this point. In any event, here is the April blogging tally...

Blogging Month in Review: March 2025

GM Appreciation Day seems to have largely disappeared from the calendars of most bloggers, and now it is little more than an excuse to run a sale on DriveThruRPG. I shan't dwell on it, though. If no one else is interested, I might as well forget it as everyone else has. Meanwhile, here's the March blogging tally...

Blogging Month in Review: January 2025

As I predicted, my capacity to blog is greatly diminished by concerns that outweigh my devotion to this beloved hobby. I shall strive to recapture the joy and sense of refuge it has always provided me in the past, and that might involve a more classic approach (doing more in-person gaming, going to conventions, and perhaps even moving toward a more traditional method of fan publication and distribution—the zine) in combination with a newer (or less classic) approach such as making YouTube videos. What this will mean to my fleet of blogs depends on the course of events that are beyond my control. Those who push generative a.i. are at war with everyone who writes, performs, or creates art. As long as our work is not protected and we are not compensated, I am reluctant to share it with anyone I do not personally know and trust. We are heading into a dismal age that may outlast us all. I hope we can change course.

Peace and Enlightenment.
