Well, falling behind a bit again, but here are this week’s links. I’m trying to straighten out my sleep schedule, so I can be properly rested (which leads to eating better and working out more and apparently way more patience with people). Getting up to seven hours of sleep a …

For those interested in petty details and statistics, I’m now aggregating over 500 RSS feeds. Of those, a handful aren’t RPG related but are related to my interests (a couple on cooking, a handful of art sites)… but it’s still more than 500 RPG sites. This amounts to about 150-200 …

Huzzah! A couple of days late, but I’m all caught up (up to 4:00 pm February 14, at least). Finally. No Kickstarter projects this week (next week; I just want to get this wrapped up). Added to the Hall of Fame this Week (Well, since I only started the Hall …

Introducing the Hall of Fame

I’ve gotten more serious in my blogging and have been posting my Links of the Week for about five months now, and I’ve noticed a few things. The same blogs show up repeatedly with a series of related articles (such as JB’s current Land of Ice series, or Niccodaemus’ series …

Longevity and Level Limits

kjdavies February 11, 2012, 7:46 pm February 19, 2012 Experimental

If the rules endow demi-humans with extremely long life-spans without level limits it seems logical that powerful, high-level demi-human NPCs would come to dominate the game world. I am not entirely certain this is true. I mean, I know this is not true in my campaign because I said so… …

Well, looks like I’m gaining — I’m only a week behind now. It’s getting quicker, though. Technology Google to launch pilot program for Android-based HUD glasses… I honestly don’t have much to add to this. I want to see how they work and how well they do their job, and …

Link of Fame: How to write a free RPG

kjdavies February 7, 2012, 5:32 am February 6, 2012 Link of Fame

Rob Lang of the Free RPG Blog has presented a guide on how to write a free RPG, and since it looks like he’s now done (which is his cue to add an Epilogue, just watch) I thought I’d present a list of links to each section of the guide.

All in all I like how it’s presented. I’ve copied the entire thing to a Word file (so I can convert it to an EPUB and load it onto my ebook reader and read it during my commute, when I have more time to absorb the material).

This is embarrassing. I feel bad about missing Simon’s post, but downright stupid for overlooking two of my own. Keith Davies — In My Campaign Fantastic Location: Rime Tower, Part 2 — Perspiration makes some decisions about what direction to go with this location and nails down some details. Fantastic …

RPG Blog Carnival: Fantastic Locations — Missed One!

kjdavies February 3, 2012, 9:59 pm February 3, 2012 2012-01 Fantastic Locations

I have been reviewing the carnival submissions and just realized I’d overlooked one.

My apologies, skyfullofdust, I didn’t see the pingback.

… and the sky full of dust

skyfullofdust provides some background on The City where the various groups he has been describing (including the Church of Consumption, the Church of Fleeting Dreams, and the Church of the Fleeting Light — all of which have, I think, been linked to in my Links of the Week). This post provides some context for those religions, they certainly appear to fit.
