Blogging Year in Review: 2024

Most of 2024 was very strong bloggingwise, but the fickle finger of Fate had other ideas and my blogging promptly fell off a cliff—or, rather, was pushed off a cliff by larger events. I will not go into details here at this time. Despite the forces arrayed against my good mood, this year's blogging exceeded last year's grand total by four articles for a somewhat grander total of 156 articles. Applied Phantasticality decreased by 19, Savage Arts & Sciences increased by 22, Creative Reckoning increased by 5, Decidedly Six-Sided decreased by one, Theoretical Swashbuckling decreased by four, and Omnia Pro Omnibus increased by one. There were no RPG zines.

This year, the Year of Our Folly 2025, I will not reinstate my annual blogging goal. I will be lucky if I can find the opportunities to play or write about role-playing games at all. When I can do either, I will simply be thankful. My hobbies have saved my life and sanity in the past. I may be calling upon them to do the same in our fractured future. I might continue with the monthly tallies, but it is too soon to tell. To my readers, thank you for reading, and I hope we will continue this adventure together.

Here is the total blogging tally for 2024:

  1. Applied Phantasticality: 63 articles
  2. Savage Arts & Sciences: 36 articles
  3. Creative Reckoning: 17 articles
  4. Decidedly 6-Sided: 15 articles
  5. Theoretical Swashbuckling: 15 articles
  6. Omnia Pro Omnibus: 10 articles

Grand Total: 156 articles

Be seeing you...

Blogging Month in Review: December 2024

Circumstances were even less conducive to blogging and gaming in December, and I posted only one article. November and December are traditionally the most difficult months for me to find any time to pursue my interests, and this year they were especially challenging. Since 2023, January and February have become equally hard, and I foresee a paucity of articles this year. I hope I am wrong.

  1. Savage Arts & Sciences: 1 article
  2. Decidedly Six-Sided: 0 articles
  3. Applied Phantasticality: 0 articles
  4. Omnia Pro Omnibus: 0 articles
  5. Theoretical Swashbuckling: 0 articles
  6. Creative Reckoning: 0 articles

Grand Total: 1 article
