Some blogs you should be reading

My main source for inspiration are other people’s RPG blogs. The RPG blogosphere is extremely creative and there are quite a few talented people out there who share their ideas with everyone interested. Today I want to point you to a few blogs that are worthy of your attention.

  • Polyhedral Dreams
    Andrew Modro’s blog is a real treasure trove of ideas. Especially his “Game Fu” posts are interesting if you look for a new idea for a setting or game. Andrew is also currently trying to find a design partner who’s willing to give him a hand in finishing and perhaps even publishing one of his many projects.
  • Some Space to Think
    I just recently started to read Rob Donoghue’s blog, but I can wholeheartedly recommend it. His posts are usually very well written and he makes extensive use of footnotes, which adds an additional layer of information to all his posts. He doesn’t write exclusively about RPGs, but any geek worth his salt will feel right at home.
  • Farsight Blogger
    Jonathan Hicks’ blog has become one of my favorites recently. As with Rob’s blog he covers a lot of geek topics, not just RPGs, which can be refreshing once in a while. And for some obscure reasons he usually posts about things I am currently interested in. Which is a good thing in my book. 😉

All of these blogs really should be on your reading list, so don’t hesitate and check them out. And as always I am interested in your thought? Are there any blogs you would like to recommend? Feel free to post the links in the comments below. Even blatant self-promotion is allowed, so don’t be shy!
