Closure

Well it's been five months since the last real post here, I guess it's time to officially close the doors. What was originally intended to be an extended summer vacation stretched into a long hiatus, and at this point my gaming is not really matching up well with the stated goals of this blog. A few things:

  • I have no plans to take down the blog, and I don't think Blogger removes inactive sites, so there's no need to panic if you're using something here as a reference. It should remain for the foreseeable future.
  • I'd like to extend a big thank you to the various folk who have followed and commented upon the stuff I've posted here. Feedback from readers was always a big motivator for continuing this project. THANKS!
  • I have a vague plan to start a new blog with a broader focus sometime in the near future.  It'll cover traditional RPGs as well as MMOs, computer games, and various other forms of entertainment and media. Once I figure out what I'm doing I'll post up a link here for anyone that might wish to check it out.
That's about it. Thanks for reading! Good gaming!

Bah. Sad to see you pull up the tent stakes. Have you thought about banding up with some other like-minded folks and just being a contributer to a larger site?

It's always a sad occasion when a blog closes down. If you ever feel the need to blog again, I offer you a spot in the Stargazer's World team.

I really appreciated you blog when it was going and I still plan to refer to it in the future. if and when you return with a new blog, I'll be eager to follow your efforts.

There's a time to blog, and there's a time to live, play, eat, work, sleep, love, and all the other things out there. Enjoy everything! :)

And I wholeheartedly agree: These days there's no reason to ever take a blog offline that is being hosted by others, for free, unless what you wrote is damaging to your reputation. Certainly not a problem you had! I still remember the Mines of Moria posts… Good times!

Glad that you are living your blog up, I have enjoyed reading it.

All the best.

I hate to see you go! I kept wanting to hear more about your Moria megadungeon. Good luck with your future endeavors!

Ken - Eventually I'll be writing again, and I plan on including tabletop RPGs in the mix, I'm just not sure what the final mix will be yet.

Stargazer - Thanks for the invite, I'll definitely keep that in mind!

Those that mentioned Moria - I'm prepping the next session of that game now. Hopefully that'll be one of the early posts in the new blog whenever I manage to get it started.
