Blogging Year in Review: 2022

At 126 articles, I exceeded last year's grand total by 31 articles and my yearly goal by 66 articles. In terms of individual blog output, Applied Phantasticality increased by 24, Theoretical Swashbuckling increased by nine, Creative Reckoning increased by one, Savage Arts & Sciences remained steady, and Decidedly Six-Sided decreased by six. Alas, I failed to create and publish even one RPG zine. Nonetheless, I am etching it once again on the Great Stone of Challenge in addition to my standard goal:

In 2023, I, Gordon A. Cooper, will post a minimum of one article per gaming blog per month for a minimum total of five articles per month. In addition, I might create and publish one or more RPG zines. (No pressure.)

Here is my total gaming blog output for 2022:

  1. Applied Phantasticality: 55 articles
  2. Theoretical Swashbuckling: 25 articles
  3. Savage Arts & Sciences: 19 articles
  4. Creative Reckoning: 14 articles
  5. Decidedly 6-Sided: 13 articles

Grand Total: 126 articles

See you in 2023!

Blogging Month in Review: December 2022

December had almost twice the output of the previous month and I probably could have posted one more article to round it out, but I have decided to save it for January 2023.

  2. Applied Phantasticality: 2 articles
  3. Theoretical Swashbuckling: 1 article

Blogging Month in Review: November 2022

As I predicted, November was challenging indeed. I am getting wiser, though, and for that I am thankful. Still, a bit of good luck can go a long way and I am not one to discard an opportunity these days. Somehow, I managed to meet my monthly blogging quota despite the odds, and I'm feeling hopeful about December.

Be seeing you...

Blogging Month in Review: October 2022

October has passed and I managed to meet the bare minimum of my self-imposed monthly blogging goal. The same circumstances that beset me in September have continued to disrupt my writing and gaming. Blogging in November will be a formidable challenge. For now, though, I give you the results for October...

Blogging Month in Review: September 2022

September was not the month I hoped it would be blogwise, and it marks both a decrease of momentum and a failure to meet my quota (one article per blog per month). Decidedly Six-Sided stumbled in the race with zero articles for the month (a first for the year), and the others hobbled by with one article each. It is regrettable, but explainable, for September has been a tumultuous month beyond my blogging hobby. I left a job I have held for 17 years to begin a new career, which is distracting enough, but something else occurred of even greater significance. I am still weighing whether to discuss it publicly.

Be seeing you...

Blogging Month in Review: August 2022

If the blogs have been quieter in August, it's probably because it is the month of #RPGaDay when I tweet my answers daily and then compile them into a single article on the first day of September in Applied Phantasticality. Other than that, I have no idea what September will bring with regard to my blogging output. We shall see...

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

Blogging Month in Review: July 2022

July was one article shy of tying June and probably would have exceeded it if I had found time to write the three additional movie reviews I intended to post in Theoretical Swashbuckling. Richard Lester, who directed the three movies to be reviewed, must wait. Meanwhile, I ponder whether to post my answers to RPGaDay 2022 daily or in one giant article at the end of August. No one offered an opinion when I sought them in Applied Phantasticality, so, maybe I'll flip a coin.

  1. Theoretical Swashbuckling: 3 articles
  2. Applied Phantasticality: 3 articles
  3. Creative Reckoning: 1 article
  4. Decidedly Six-Sided: 1 article
