The story of how I got into the RPG Blogger’s Network is a rather funny one. I actually discovered the network one day through the Musings of the Chatty DM blog. A year ago on my first blog I had written a tongue-in-cheek post about how I despised major cons, especially gencon, because they were…

Points of Darkness in a Sea of Light Game World Concept
