Taking a break for some Gen Con Prep

June 28, 2008 by The Chatty DM

All right, up to now, whenever I posted about posting less, I always ended up posting more.

However, I now have to write quite a few pages worth of Trope and Player type GM tips and advice for the Gen Con seminar I’ll be co-hosting with DNAPhil and Vicki Potter.

I also need to do them now!

So since my free time has already been eaten up by the blog (and World of Warcraft), I’m going to trade the 1-2 hours I spend daily on writing posts and focus on the Seminar for the next week or so.

Of course, I know myself, so I might drop a few short (i.e. less than 100 words) posts if something cool comes up (like WotC’s Fan Site Policy), but if it takes me more than 15 minutes to type, I’ll save it as a draft and revisit later.

So see ya in a week (or whenever I decide to cheat on my promise, no wonder I can’t lose weight!).

In the mean time, don’t forget the Contest.

Also, it’s Worldwide Adventuring Month, maybe you’d like to give it a try?

Also, my blogger buddy Propagandroid recently moved his gamer wiki over here. Have a look,  post some things!

    Well, something cool just came up. Or at least I like to believe it’s cool.

    What’s your D&D 4th edition inner character?

    So stop working on important stuff and tell us what the survey says, Chatty!
