So you wanna write a RPG blog? Part 5: Then What?
In the last 2 weeks, I wrote a primer about starting a new RPG blog. While I knew it wasn’t going to be all that original, I thought that would-be RPG bloggers could benefit from it. It turns out they did as I’m already seeing a few new RPG blogs cropping up (Here’s one and […]
We be Chatty Geeks
So 24 hours (and about 80 comments) after publication, a lot has been discussed about yesterday’s post. I don’t want to spend more time on this.

(Not)Understanding The D&D Geek
I think everyone can agree that Wizards of the Coast has issues with 4e and it’s digital initiative.

Someone Broke the Brain’s Jar

I made it! Musings turns 1 and 400!
Image Credit: Labareda (As a gift to me) On July 24 2007, I wrote the first post of what was to become the biggest, most incredible project I ever tackled! Yes, a few weeks behind Stupid Ranger and Dungeonmastering.com, Musings of the Chatty DM turns one today. What’s more, true to the avatar I created […]
So you wanna write a RPG blog? Part 3: What?
I started this series to share my views on starting and maintaining a RPG blog. I first explored the “Why” and then the “How” of RPG blogging, both of which applied, more or less, to all blogs. Today I want to delve in the specific aspect of RPG blogging which is the “What” of our […]
So you wanna write a RPG blog? Part 2: How?
A few days ago I started a series where I share my views on starting and running a (hopefully successful) RPG-themed blog. Last time I tackled the “Why” which covered the reasons to start a RPG-Blog.
