Yet another Milestone
This is just a short meta-blogging message to mark my 100th post in this here blog. I can’t believe that in only 10 weeks I wrote between 70 000 and 100 000 words already!
Isn’t that like a novel or something?
While I originally was doing this for myself and some of my players (and I still do, to some extent) I remain amazed that some of you take a few minutes a day to drop by, read my ramblings and drop a comment here and there.
Also, as the poll on your reading preferences comes to a close, I see that the Tropes series is the most popular, with the Adventure Preps and DM logs a close second. (And thanks for the 2 Pr0n or ‘you suck’ responses! Woot!).
So I’ll take the occasion to announce a few new article features in this here post:
- I’ll be starting a new Tropes series in parallel to the ‘Mining Tropes’ ones. This one will be about RPG-specific tropes, like ‘The Killer DM’, ‘The Tavern Scene’ and ‘Celling falls, everybody dies’. So expect on average 2 trope posts a week.
- I’ve convinced a new guest to write about his RPG-related experience. I don’t want to spoil his entrance, but he’s a talented writer and brings a fresh perspective into the hobby. Hopefully it’ll develop into a series.
Cya at the 200 mark! Thanks for reading.
The Chatty DM is the "nom de plume" of gamer geek Philippe-Antoine Menard. He has been GMing various versions of D&D and other RPGs for nearly 30 years. A renowned RPG blogger, game designer and published author, he squats a corner of Critical Hits he affectionately calls "Musings of the Chatty DM." (Email Phil or follow him on Twitter.)
Congrats on the 100th post!
WOOT! 100! And yes: 100,000 words is a 300+ pages novel. 8|
You’re a crazy man! You’ll leave all the rest of us in the dust!
(congrats!)
Mwa Ha Ha Ha! My plan for worlds domination is working!
hmmm, sorry ’bout that.
Thanks one and all, we all have a good thing going here… it’s Nash’s theory at it’s best, each focusing on a special flavour of a related subject.
You suck pr0n!!
…wait…
Congrats, Phil. And also, you write way too much.
Not that I’m complaining, of course.
