The Third Time's The Charm

Well here we are again, the third attempt at blogging since I started my little podcast The Nerd's RPG Variety Cast. 

The first was a very short lived attempt to share images to go with the episodes, unfortunately the host I chose, whomever Spotify recommended I believe, didn't offer much storage space and I quickly hit my limit. 

The second was last year and to be fair I ran out of steam. Weekly was probably too ambitious for me considering everything I have going on in real life. At first I thought it might replace the podcast but since that didn't happen I had even less time, and brain power, to devote to the blog. I did finish RPG-A-DAY2024 on the blog with daily entries but now that is all lost to history thanks to a change in web hosts. The provider I was using, TSOHost, transferred all their accounts to 123Reg who ended up deleting my blog and asking me to pay them to try and restore it. Needless to say I passed.

I think that catches us up. The third time's the charm as they say. Of course they say a lot of things. Let me outline my current plan. 

1) Post on the off weeks off my podcast, that would be the second and fourth Sundays of each month. 

2) There is a chance I'll post more frequently but those will be bonus posts. 

3) I don't plan to tie the blog posts directly to the podcast episodes but there may be some crossover.

4) Some material may be previously published material from my zine in The Anchorite APA. If I do post items that I previously published in the APA the version published here may be edited from the original. 

Pending crowdfunding project

Last I want to give a shout out to The Old Warlock, they are about to launch a new Kickstarter. We mention it briefly when they were on the podcast last month, episode S2E16 The Old Warlock.

The project is called Forest of Moon Denizens. This bestiary contains 10 creatures encountered in the Forest of Moon. It is written as a travelogue and I am fortunate enough to have seen a draft of it. The version I saw wasn't the final but the art was great, the writing evocative, and I am sold! The neat thing is that even if you didn't want to incorporate the Forest of Moon fully into your campaign you can still take the creatures and use them separately as strange encounters. You can sign up to be notified when the project launches on 1 February here: Pre-launch page.
