What is a blog carnival? It’s where bloggers mutually work on the same theme or topic for a month. This month we are proud to be the fifth host to the RPG Blog Carnival. Thanks to The Dice Bag for hosting last month’s Carnival about Religion.
We have decided that, given that this is the end of the year and a time for change from one year to the next, that this month’s theme will be “Transitions and Transformations.” Tackle anything in RPGs about transitions from one thing to the next, or any kind of transformation that occurs in RPGs.
How do you get in on the carnival? Just write a post around this month’s theme, then leave a comment on this post with a link back. At the end of the month, I’ll round up all the entries in another post. Then the carnival will move again! That’s all. I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with.

Sorry about the two pingbacks above, I changed the URL / Post title because the fancy quotes were messing it up and it looks like re-saving it sent a second ping. The first one of the two won’t work now.
Interesting Carnival topic, and I enjoyed writing my post!
NICE! thanks for the bump! The topic for this month is JUICY!

Stuart´s last post: Year-end evaluation and thoughts for the future
Took me long enough to report these. These two were deliberate Carnival-material, on the subject of learning leadership.

I’m not sure these two count quite as much, but if you count travel as a transition, there’s this one:
