My publicist is constantly pestering me to make an effort to boost my presence in the Blogosphere, and one of the tactics that she keeps harping on is that I actually post stuff more often than once every month or two. Good idea, right? She's worth every penny. But where to find the material? I did some soul searching and didn;t find anything so I went to my good ol' bloglist and realized that--shit!--I've got like thirty unpublished posts just sitting there! Some dating dating all the way back to the first week I holed up in this here corner of the internet. I went down the list of titles to see if any of these might be worth another look and wrote up a brief synopsis of each. I didn't actually look at the posts; these are my best guesses.
Here's the list in reverse chronological order:
Dungeon of Liberty
The conflict of freedom of action in the confines of the "dungeon" adventuring milieu. Or something else.
I'm Beginning to See the Light
Why newer games suck.
Kill a Rat Scenario
A rant about rules quirks of AD&D
Original 6
An obvious hockey reference in a post dating from the beginning of the NHL season, but more likely an article about the 6 abilities in D&D.
Thac0 Again?
Wherein the Dicechucker goes off on yet another youngster who gets too close to his lawn.
Ramblin' 'bout Modules
Essay about the quirks of the L-series modules; the precursor to my Restenford Project site.
Thieves Assassins & Spies
Old Guard Accoutrements totally outdid me on this topic.
X2 Castle Amber
Essay about the non-CAS influences of said module.
Assassins revisited for the first time
Rant about the failings of the Assassin class as penned in AD&D; most likely the precursor to the Assassin level titles series from last fall.
Going to the Bullpen
The pros and cons of rotating DMs
SF: Getting drunk
Article on intoxicants in Star Frontiers. Ripped off wholesale from the Fronteirsman.
Modified Advanced Game Rules
Satirical bit about post-1e game rules.
Zet's Tiny People
An ode to Thundarr.
DMing As critique:
I plead the 5th.
Reverse Engineered Pre-Original Rules:
Satirical bit about the origins of D&D
Pre-Scorn AD&D:
Probably a rant wherein I say in a roundabout fashion that DragonLance can suck me.
"Cleric" is a Profession Too
It's true; look it up if you don't believe me.
Feral Hobbits:
I'm hoping there are illustrations with this one.
Greyhawk Architecture
Self explanatory. This one eventually became the Greyhawk Realty post.
Dice-chucker
Long-winded article about the name of this here blog. Eventually replaced with an entry in the Lexicon
