Sixty-Six Blogs and Counting

So this afternoon I've added my 66th blog to my "This Just In" blogroll off to the left hand side of this column. I've got it set to just show the ten most recent posts, but if you click the "show all" link at the bottom right of that section, you'll be able to see them all.

I'm actually pretty happy with the fact that I've got a blogroll this extensive. I've always maintained that this blog isn't about one way (dare I say "school") of gaming, and I'm always looking for other things to read about and write about. Even if I don't get a chance to always read and comment on everyone's blogs, and even though there are some blogs I agree with more than others and/or find more that's pertinent to my gaming works, I'm always impressed with all that's going on out there in gaming blog land. On any given day, I can easily find a half dozen articles that interest me and I'll post comments, and easily half a dozen more that I'll skim over and (hopefully) get back to and read at a later date.

Honestly, there's almost too much game-bloggery going on, and I know I'm missing out on some good stuff - just going to the RPG Blogger's Network I know there's dozens more blogs out there that I'm not keeping tabs on, and as time goes on I'm going to be blogrolling more and more of them.

Anyhow, all I can say is that I'm finding new, great stuff out there every day, all written by gamers from different backgrounds, with different preferences, running different sorts of games for different sorts of gamers, and it's a wonderful thing to be able to see it all and provide positive reinforcement.

Keep up the great work!

An honour to be included in the 66! It's true that in a way the RPG Bloggers Network can cause us to stop looking further afield for gaming blogs. It's a rare treat when I follow a link to a blog outside the network and find some gold.

Hi. I'm... errrr, not one of the 66. Ah, well.

But I agree, the community is a beautiful thing.

Well, you're not one of the 66, but you are #71!

Neat blog - I'll definitely have to read it in greater depth ASAP. I always dig discussions of gaming and writing and how the two co-mingle.
