For last year’s A to Z Challenge I made a group of links of RPG bloggers that signed up for the 2014 A to Z Challenge. There were a lot of them, twenty-one by my count.
So far, there are nine RPG bloggers, counting me, signed up for the 2015 challenge. Will there be a slew of last minute sign ups, or will the trickle until the deadline be it?
I can see that this is not for everyone.
I find it a good way to get the creative juices flowing as it forces you to think. Coming up with a coherent theme even more of a challenge. As with the rest of my blogging, I use it to share my ideas, and to gather and organize ideas for my campaign(s).
Players don’t always appreciate or get to see all the details. Blogging helps to get the ideas out there and to distill them to the bare essentials needed for presentation in actual play.
Also four years of college note taking and three years of grad school note taking ruined my handwriting. If I’m not careful when I write, even I can’t read it. I used to get A’s in penmanship. So typing makes it easier for me to go back and read what I wrote. :/
Well, I am signed up. The A to Z challenge is always fun, though I missed last year.
Confirms my suspicions that the OSR (at least when it comes to blogs) is a shell of what it once was. : /
