Excellence from the Blogosphere (March-April)

Ehh, the last two months saw so many amazing blog posts that this compilation grew way beyond what it was intended to cover. If productivity persists, I will have to do this monthly instead. Note that I tired to use whatever nickname was associated with the blogger account of the author (where applicable). Without further ado, my favourite blog posts of the last two months (or so):

28 comments:

  1. Thank you for putting this together! We should probably all be posting lists like this from time to time.

    I think you and I have some similar tastes, which makes your lists particularly valuable to me.

    1. I'm glad you found it useful! I was a little worried that people would find such a long list unwieldy.

    2. I find it useful too. Generally when people post lists and reviews like this I find plenty that I’ve missed, and often find a new blog to add to the list to check out as well. Thankyou.

  2. This list is awesome and I am super appreciative of you for putting this together (and also for including me in it!!!). With G+ dead, and having made a personal choice to not be super involved on the discord or reddit OSR/RPG communities anymore, I've fallen into a bit of a hole where I mainly only see the posts by the creators I was already following, so it's nice to get exposure to other awesome creators out there (although it's also a bit intimidating just how much amazing stuff people are putting out all the time!). May need to do an update of my bloglist after this...

    1. PS People seriously, check out Tunnels & Trolls! Let's make it a thing!

    2. Yeah, I hear ya; in my experience Discord and Reddit, although link to good content, favour a very particular side of the OSR. Personally wouldn't mind more folks blogging about more traditional, dare I say grognard, D&D, for instance.

      As for T&T, I'll start by writing a review ;)

  3. Thanks for this compilation! Very useful after the death of G+.

    1. Indeed, that's the reason I started to compile things for own benefit at first!

  4. Thanks!
    I check my blog feed every day, but still whenever I get a list like this it turns out I had missed something good. So much appreciated!

    1. It is so easy to miss a post here and there; I'm happy you found new things on the list!

  5. Awesome round-up!
    And thanks for the mention: I'm slowly adding stuff to my draft of Suspirian Dance School, so *eventually* it might become a thing.

    1. Too bad most OSR folks kinda overlook Godbound; your blog has particularly lot to offer for that niche.

      Delete
    2. Yeah Godbound is pretty niche, which possibly make my blog one of the few to keep posting content for it. Its both quite cool as it mean a bit more 'trailblazing' and little competition but it also does make me a bit nervous being mostly alone out there.

      Btw I've just posted more Urban Fantasy material. Pretty dark and depressing stuff, which was hinted at in the Spirit post. This time its about demons.

  8. I can't believe that there's so much on here I missed, even from blogs that I follow! I think my feed is too big, although I also don't want to cut it down. Thank you for this.

  9. It's clear that so many people are producing top quality RPG content in this scene. Thanks for collating all of this (and thanks for the shout out)!

    1. I'm amazed by the sheer amount of material people share, let alone by quality.

      Looking forward to reading more about His Majesty the Worm!

    Thank you!

  11. Thanks for featuring my blog! Blogging is often a bit of a solitary activity but it's nice to see what everyone else is up to in a condensed form like this.
