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.

Well, we finally finished Book 1 of the classic TSR Night Below campaign set. Last night featured a huge orc battle and introduced a new group of potential allies for the party, the Svirfneblin aka deep gnomes. It was also nice to look back on the last year-plus of the campaign. It is only downhill from here (literally).
