You and some others have plenty of stuff to put a years worth of blog posts out right now. But if people don't want to do a whole blog by themselves, maybe TPD could make a blog where a dozen of you could guest post, that way you would only need to make a few posts a year. Of course along with TPD, the The Semi-Retired Gamer has a great blog The Semi-Retired Gamer and he made 100 posts in 2021. His latest post includes material he posted here, so it is an excellent example how you can turn posts here into blog posts. A lot of you could do what he has done. TPD is bringing his OD&D review posts to threads here, so it can flow both ways too. Great point, boarspear ! I would be down with a multi-poster blog. That's actually a pretty cool idea to take the pressure off of some people trying to blog, post, work on secret projects, etc. Exalted for that! Thanks for the shout out in regard to my blog. I'm starting to pick up steam and once my secret project has taken on a better shape, I think it might just pick up. Now that I think of it, with permission I could collect some posts here from time to time from people and post it for them, if someone was down for that. |

I see a lot of good suggestions, maybe more discussion on threads with people throwing out ideas and opinions. That usually primes the pump. Yeah, more discussion in threads is key and for that we need more active posters to carry those kind of discussions forward. Right now we have too few active posters and there is a limit to how many discussions you can be active in at one time. |

Thanks, Morose ! Unfortunately, my Gamma World stuff was "permanently borrowed" while I was away in the Army. I would probably have to do something with Mutant Future if I was to contribute. Mutant Future would be close enough I would imagine and who knows what you might stumble across. Good news! I just found out Gamma World 1E is available at DriveThruRPG in a POD softbound book. |

OK, besides me and The Semi-Retired Gamer who else is on board for a multi-poster blog? Let's try to get as many people posting in it as possible. I will try to set it up this weekend and then I think I invite people to it. You will have to have a Google account, since it is on blogger, but you don't have to enter your real name or info, just the name you want your posts displayed under. Give me that gmail address and I will invite you when I get this set up. Do we have suggestions for the name of the blog? |

Murkhill Vault of Wisdom? The Vaults of Murkhill? Libram Murkhill or Mukhill Libram? There's a handful from me. What do you got? |

What frequency are we looking for? , hengest what frequency do you guys think would work, I would like to see at least one post per week, with enough posters maybe we could get to one every other day, but to start I think one post per week would be a good place to shoot for. |

I could commit to one a week for myself, I think. Although I am not sure about the suitability of most of my material for a blog. I will give it a shot and ask you guys to help me out and let me know if you think it is not suitable or not ideal. |

OK, then we will not have any trouble among the three of us of having blog post at least once per week or more often on the blog. I want to get back to blogging on my blog and I would do one per week on this. I think you can post it in the Fanzine area and we can look at it, before you post it. I imagine they will be good, but minor tweaks would be OK, maybe we all should let each other proof read and make suggestions before we post them. |

The Perilous Dreamer Is there a "schedule" feature by which you can set a time for it to be posted and then forget about it?

The Perilous Dreamer Is there a "schedule" feature by which you can set a time for it to be posted and then forget about it? Yes, you can do that, I have thought about (on my own blog) of writing and scheduling one post per month for the next 20 years as a start. Who knows how long blogger will be around. But when I die, I want someone to post my obit and a note that all posts from this point on are posthumous. If I live long enough, it would be cool to have a post scheduled for 50 years after I am gone. |

This is post #60,000 happening in the first few days of Year Eight. What are things you guys want to see happen in the next 40,000 posts to reach our first 100,000 posts as a forum? As others have said, more interaction and more discussions going on in the threads. |

That is a term a couple of us have been throwing around, Morose: it means Murkhillian Gaming. So (I think) not specifically house-ruled OD&D but any kind of sandbox-based, open-world, rulings-not-rules gaming. That makes sense. I like it Murkhillian Gaming, the real genuine old school gaming. |

How about this, The Perilous Dreamer could go through OD&D here on the forum, kind of like he did on his blog, except in more detail and others could comment too. That way we would possess the definitive commentary on OD&D as a community resource. Have you seen the Men & Magic thread I started doing just that? If so, would love to have your comments. Oh, cool, I will start reading it. That is going to take a while.  good! |
