Humpday Blog-O-Rama 5.8.19

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.

  2. Awesome! Thank you for rolling on my table in your podcast and boosting the signal :)
    Glad you found it interesting and potentially useful. It's my hope that some of the entries might even spawn adventures of their own and "what's going on in this Podunk" seems to be something that comes up fairly frequently, so anything to help spark imagination for DMs to tempt their players to get more involved is a good thing :)
