My two biggest goals are to become a better blogger (in terms of posting regular quality posts that are on target for my blog) and getting my business off the ground. As for an e-book, I am still interested in helping you out in any way possible! I'm excited to see what may come of it. Some others in my list include learning to DM Dungeons and Dragons campaigns (right now I only have 2E, which I'm most familiar with), and get back into the habit of doing more creative writing. <abbr><em>tenachs last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MagnificentScoundrels/~3/499781505/" rel="nofollow">Skill Challenges of War: Shadowrun Style</a></em></abbr> Happy New Year, ChattyDM!

Good luck on all your goals! As for me, 2009 will hopefully see me graduate from university and get a job with my degree where I don't work have to work irregular shifts so I can get rhythm back in my life. As for the gaming aspect; my new system, due in the summer, will be playtested by our group, and I hope to have a little more time on the side to play besides this; 20 sessions in two years is not enough... Rallying an army to conquer Belgium and the Faroe Islands is due in summer 2010. Happy new year! Good luck on all your goals!

Gaming/Net presence 1-Start my own blog and secretly plot a overhaul of Chatty (Wouldn't be a good apprentice if I didn't, right?) 2-Find myself a good game, settle down, and make a kick ass campaign that'd last a year. I'd be happy with a year. 3-Make that pilgrimage to Gen Con, also. 4-Get my roommate to discover something other than 3E 5-Figure out how the hell Alpha Omega should be runned... I've been trying to do that forever... It's a weird system... I could lose a few pounds too. Good luck for some, good obsessing for others! Well, here I go then!

Gaming/Net presence

1-Start my own blog and secretly plot a overhaul of Chatty (Wouldn’t be a good apprentice if I didn’t, right?)

2-Find myself a good game, settle down, and make a kick ass campaign that’d last a year. I’d be happy with a year.

3-Make that pilgrimage to Gen Con, also.

4-Get my roommate to discover something other than 3E

5-Figure out how the hell Alpha Omega should be runned… I’ve been trying to do that forever… It’s a weird system…

I could lose a few pounds too.

Good luck for some, good obsessing for others!

Publish PDFs about Valiant to give away, then delete older background-only posts.

Only post Logs in outline/note form if at all. 2a. Take same adventures and create PDFs (see 1b above) and FGII files. 2b.Give away some of these. Sell some of them through DriveThruRPG or similar site. 3.Stop being so idiotically fascinated with site stats.... gods. I think I could refresh my counter page all day...... 4.There is no 4.

That's a lofty set of goals and I'm sure you can achieve them. In terms of being the CEO of a gaming company, you should ask around because many people on the RPGblogging circuit are either part time professional or have started their own companies. The Wandering Men come to mind. Ask around! Happy new year and thanks for being around. As for a guest post, you are such a skilled writer I'm sure any blogger would take you with arms wide open. Myself included! Hey Ravyn! That’s a lofty set of goals and I’m sure you can achieve them.

Actually get to the numbers most bloggers seem to think a new blog should be hitting. 100 UVs a day if I can swing it. Preferably 150, but may as well be realistic here. Try to guest post in a couple places--just to see if I can. Write a few short stories. Five over the course of the year that aren't for a writing contest would be good. Figure out what being the CEO of a game design company actually entails, and live up to the title. I think this is the big challenge of the lot, but they put me in the seat anyway, I may as well make it work. Find work that's going to sustain me while I'm getting the hang of the above. Create a world. Maybe get a novel-length story out of it, but I'd settle for having a world for now. Work on my drawing, to the point where I can do a passable human sketch without a reference. <abbr><em>Ravyns last blog post..<a href="http://exchangeofrealities.today.com/2009/01/01/questions-comments-death-threats/" rel="nofollow">Questions?
