Humpday Blog-O-Rama 4.10.19

Blogs are an integral, vital part of the RPG hobby. They serve as incubators for new games, sounding boards for fresh ideas, and platforms for up-and-coming talent. They keep "forgotten" games alive, foster discussions, and build communities. Not everyone can work for a big game company, command a large audience on Twitch, or make a living from their art or cartography, but every RPG enthusiast can easily create a blog and start sharing their passion with the world.

Every Wednesday on the Thought Eater podcast and blog, I take a look at what is going on in the vibrant RPG blog scene. Check out previous Humpday Blog-O-Rama posts HERE.

  1. I don't think I've mentioned how much I dig the "Maps" section in these posts.

    1. You are quite welcome! And yes...those maps are so unique. They remind me of an awesome, dark children's book or something.

  3. Hi Froth, Just a note to say you're doing a great job with your podcast/blog combo of curating cool content in the wake of G+. I've listened the past few weeks and read a lot of things you referenced.

    By the way, is there no way to leave comments on an Anchor podcast besides calling in? I actually DM a game of the Arcanum (aka the Atlantean Trilogy) and wanted to mention it to your colleague who recently reviewed it.

    1. Thank you so much for the kind words! I am glad you are enjoying them.

      Aside from the Anchor app, Rob started a Down in a Heap blog; leaving a comment there would probably be a good way to talk to him about an episode. https://downinaheapblog.home.blog/

      Thanks again!
