Another topic… I’ve always wanted to do more with this website, but never had the time. I’m determined to do more this year. I’m not sure where I will find the time, but perhaps if I stop posting fifty page rants on the Blood of Vol and the Church of the Silver Flame every time they are mentioned on the internet, I can focus that energy here. With that said, my time is very limited. So the question is what is actually going to be interesting or useful to people. Here’s a few things I’ve thought about; which of these sound worthwhile? Which don’t? Travelogues....

Last year I set out to run games in as many places across the world as possible. It was a wonderful experience, and I’ve met a lot of incredible people. And so far, I’ve only been to a fraction of the places I’ve been invited to. The problem, quite simply, is financial. My hosts have been extremely generous with their hospitality, which has kept lodging down. But that still leaves travel, and over time that adds up. Beyond that, I was overly optimistic about the amount of work I could get down while on the journey. So with little to no positive income, negative income, however...

I’m going to be at GenCon Indy, but I’m not a guest as such – which means I’m not actually scheduled to run any games (actually, I do have one special event, but more on that in a future post). I hate to let a con go by without running a game, who do I run for? It’s not like there’s a shortage of people who’d like to play. I considered the auction idea, but for various reasons I’m not doing it. So instead, my plan is to do a variation of my traditional Eberron Trivia Contest. Starting in July, each week I’ll post a question here on the website....

I’m going to GenCon Indianapolis on my own dime this year, as opposed to being a guest. The life of a traveling DM/writer is not a lucrative one, and so I’m considering ways to cover my costs. I have an idea… but I’m not sure yet as to whether it’s a GOOD idea. So I’m interested in your opinion. My idea is this: auction a private Eberron game on eBay. This would be auctioned as a single event, not seat by seat – so it would be something for a gaming group to go in on together. The game would be run on Thursday or Sunday afternoon, so as to minimize clashing with major con events. The...
