At long last, the audio for our GenCon panel on being an RPG Blogger is up.

The panel includes:

(Which, you’ll note, includes all the founders of the RPG Bloggers Network.)

Therein, in addition to hearing all of our voices, is a lot of great advice for all the RPG Bloggers out there. Find out about why each of us got into it, what tips we can give about writing, receiving comments, search engine optimization (or lack thereof), what blogging platform we recommend, and being you when you blog.

Go give it a listen!

Show Notes:

TheGame is Dave Chalker, a lifelong gamer, freelance game designer, Master of Arts, and son of Jack L. Chalker. Dave is the Editor-in-Chief of Critical Hits and so runs the place. He is the envy of geeks everywhere because he's dating e, the Geek's Dream Girl. (Email Dave or follow him on Twitter).

    Thanks!

    This will really weather some of the storms going through for some of us.

    Questing GM: Hope it helps! Let us know if there’s any other advice we can give- as we point out in the panel, always happy to give our input.

    And keep up the good work on your Word of Wizards articles!

    Excellent work, Dave. I hope the RPG Bloggers will afford some of the same and expanded opportunities for these sorts of cool projects at Gen Con this year.

    Bob: It’s hard to hear, but this other video from GenCon might help:

    since it features Bartoneus, myself, Yax, Tasha, and Phil from the panel to help match voices to faces. That just leaves (the other) Bob.

    @ Bob: I’m the one who talks a lot but never really gets around to making much of a point. :)
