This Idiot Got Nominated For An Award For An Amazing Reason
VOTE FOR MY BLOG POST NOW NOW NOW
WHERE'S THE POSTS BLOG BOY
Heya Everybody! Apologies for the quiet around here. I've been ruminating in my docs on some enormous blog posts. They say write what you love but I'd caveat that "unless it's very dry theorycraft".
If any of these see the light of day I'll be more surprised than anybody
In brighter news I managed to finish off a redesign of my website (goblin.zone) so it also functions as a continuous random word generator. Great to have in a tab next to roll20 or behind your GM screen.
This is but a sampling of the innumerable hand crafted words awaiting you at goblin.zone
GET TO THE POINT
What I'm really here to talk about, however, is that my post on running hacking better has been nominated for the 2026 Bloggie Award for Theory! Thank you to whoever nominated it! It's incredibly validating to see one's work appreciated by others.
WHY HAVE YOU NOT VOTED ALREADY DID YOU MISS THE LINK HERE IT IS AGAIN
My first round opponent is THE Skeleton Code Machine. Their eternal consistency, ever-welcoming tone, practised grasp on game design and deft wielding of aesthetic will surely be no match for my ramshackle bullshit and posting history that could be a case study in survivorship bias, so commiserations to them.
This is the face of the enemy. The good blogging, presumably handsome enemy. I'd draw them with Xes over their eyes if they hadn't already beat me to it. Always one step ahead!
To drop the facade though, to see my scrawlings in a list with such giants of the space fills me with light.
Have a read through the other posts in the Theory category. There's some real treats in there.
Massive props to everybody who's organised this lovely event, as well as each of the damp-browed blogsmiths hewing takes and tacking em-dashes to fill the internet with much needed discourse.
Flabbergasted thanks as well to those brave Audio Argonauts who have grappled with my grammar and podcastified my post for posterity - presumably to be stored in a data centre under the arctic for a dark future where the world is lacking RPG takes.
YOU SILLY SAUSAGE YOU MUST HAVE LOST THE LINK HERE IT IS ONE MORE TIME JUST FOR YOU
