I’ve been slacking, have not been getting many posts up here lately, but I’m making plans to change that. I write a lot, but most of what I write sits on hard drives never to be touched. I also have put out more Wobblies & Wizards content here on the podcast than I ever did on the blog. If you have not been listening to the podcast, check it out. I have found that the podcast has gotten way more folks listening than this blog ever has. I’ve been happy seeing the steady growth there and we have had some great opportunities to talk to a lot of really cool game creators.
I am starting to reconsider what this blog is used for and what I want to do with the site here now that our central focus has shifted to doing a regular podcast. I have a few ideas of things I want to explore here on the blog. We have just started doing a weekly blog review episode on the podcast so we have been looking a lot at blogs from around the gaming community more. There is a ton of really cool stuff people are putting out.
With all the regular content coming out on the podcast getting more and more attention I have asked what we will be using the old blog here for.
I don’t want to make big promises and fail to deliver, so I’m not going to give a post of things to come, but I am planning on a few different things and we will see how those go. One of the first things I’m going to do is give a post dump here at the bottom of this post. Just some links to blogs we have reviewed so far on the Wobblies & Wizards podcast.
So, go on over to the podcast and check out the episodes and go visit the blogs we discussed. And as a disclaimer, a few we put on the lists did not make it on the show just because of time. I tried to catch them all, but some may have made it onto this list:
