I always tend to start with disclaimers, both verbally and in writing, and this instance looks to be no different.
This is, in fact, the first blog that I've ever written, contributed to, or begun. I've done comments, on occasion, but this is definitely the furthest that I've ventured in the new frontier of Infinite Visibility and Exposure. As with a lot of things in my life, the novelty of the experience is one of the primary motivators; as soon as that ebbs, however, the impetus to contribute on a regular basis is likely to wane. I'll try to compensate for that, but I make no promises...
My second disclaimer is that I'm terrible at exposition - the art of laying down the background of a situation without boring your audience to tears. My writing is kind of like my thinking: under-structured and over-impulsive. When I've got new relevant details for old posts, I'll try to go back and make edits. Again, though, no promises...
I guess that this is the point where I should get to the point.
I'm starting this because I have a growing volume of material for which I don't really have a forum of expression, and that I don't want to simply lose to the sands of the hourglass... namely, the goings-on in my D&D sessions.
As ridiculous as it sounds, the reading of this kind of blog was what got me back into the gaming community after an absence of more than a dozen years. Now, I'm enjoying the game so much that I want to set this material into a framework that's accessible to my players and the interested public at large (no matter how small that group may be).
Feel free to comment, to suggest, and to leave opinions. I'm not sure what else I should be asking of a readership, other than patience and civility, so I'll go ahead and request those two items.
For now, I should probably stop starting, and start doing. Thank you for your consideration.
