Humpday Blog-O-Rama 3.4.20

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.

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.

Thought Eater Podcast: GMs Share Their Greatest Weaknesses

Happy Friday! A couple of weeks ago I reached out to podcasters and folks on social media to share what they perceive to be their greatest weaknesses as GMs. I got a TON of great responses, so I put them all together into a podcast. I want to say THANK YOU to the Legendary Anchorites and everyone else who responded.
