The Fourth Week of March in the Year 2009

Mar 23-29
Things seem to wind down in the last week of the month. This week we’ve got a few playtest and excerpt articles from Wizards, Monte’s Top 10 Rules for GMing, Open Design moves into playtest mode, and KQ delivers another creepy creature. Thanks to Daniel Perez who clued me into the daily summary emails from RPG Blogger’s Network, they are so much easier to digest each day than the huge number of duplicates in the RSS feed. The emails contain short descriptions of each post also making it easy to spot interesting articles.
Remember you can follow my shared items on Google Reader for a daily view of articles that I feature here once a week. You can also follow me on Twitter, though I’ll add a link to the right of this blog in the near future. I’m also working on setting up Warpig radio syndication when I work through some technical difficulties.

Okay here we are in my second weekly update post. In my first post I mentioned how broad my weekly reading was; apparently I was mistaken. I’ve since added the RPG Blogger’s Network to my Google Reader subscription. To say I was overwhelmed is an understatement. I looked back over the week of posts to see how many there were and it was in the 700s. Now the feed has an odd habit of grabbing the same posts multiple times from the feed and I’m not sure why. But if you want your daily dose of RPG goodness go drink from the fire hose over there. There are so many good blogs and posts every single week. In looking though I discovered that my ideas for a Weekly What’s New was nothing new and that there are a couple of bloggers who do the same thing. Hopefully my opinions on articles will inspire some of you to take a look at some of the wonderful content available. This week I add a couple of sites that were absent from my first round up, Kobold Quarterly and Open Design.

The Second Week of March in the Year 2009

I’m going to start what I hope is the first of a regular column. My past attempts at starting a regular column have all failed not due to lack of inspiration but just motivation. The goal of the column is to review what I’ve read over the last week and ideas that sparked from the content. I read a large number of blogs, subscribe to two paying sites (DDI and DaD), listen to several podcasts, and try to keep up with my PbP gaming. All in all its a heck of a lot of reading in a week.
