I find it hilarious that there are two OSR blogging webrings you can join if you are so inclined. The 90s are back, in webring form. Daniel Sell of Troika set one up first, the New Old Gaming Blogring. Shortly after, Elmcat created rootr.ing, which serves the same purpose, but felt easier to customize, so you can its widget at the bottom of this page. If you dislike both of these options, Daniel shared the tutorial he followed to create his blogring, so you can make your own for you and your friends. The world needs more webrings.
Man, Twitter really does feel like a hot mess right now. And if we are all being honest with one another, it already felt like a hot mess, right? Warren from I Cast Light explains why you should be getting back to blogging: BLOG! Good God! What Is It Good For? When I started blogging (a million years ago) social media didn’t really exist as a thing, and people would share all the ephemera in their heads on their blogs. Some of your tweets are probably stupid, and should just disappear into the ether. Some of your tweets are probably worth simply posting to your blog: especially those that spark discussion. I wrote about “microblogging” here at Save vs. Total Party Kill some time ago. Anyone can start a blog and contribute to the wider RPG scene.
