Greetings gents! (and the occasional awesome gamer-ladies!)

I am starting a new blog called "Adventuring Archives":http://adventurearchives.blogspot.com/2012/02/first-and-seven-wonders-of-world.html. Seeing as how I am now a father of a very active 8 month old, I doubt I will get to game again anytime in the foreseeable future. I have decided to start blogging my game ideas in an effort to get my Dungeons and Dragons in. Please take a look and let me know what you think. Any critiques, ideas or topics for future posts would be appreciated

Thanks!

    Agreed. Sadly, my lack of free time these days restricts me quite a bit, so I probably won't have time to follow your blog, but from what I've seen of it so far, it looks to be very interesting. I hope others take advantage of your great adventure ideas. Best wishes in your adventures in Fatherhood though!

    Cheers,

    I'm loving your blog, but I do want to point out that "BeyondTheStatBlock":http://www.beyondthestatblock.com/ is freaking awesome and I'm glad you linked it there. I have a feeling it's going to take up a lot of my down-time at work.

    "On Dragons":http://adventurearchives.blogspot.com/2012/03/on-dragons.html is now up. Please check it out.

    Also, I asked this over on facebook and didn't get much of a response: Can any one recommend some topics for posts they would like me to cover? While I have plenty of my own ideas that I want to post on, I think I am going to make my "idea notes" a regular feature on Adventuring Archives that I will update two or three times a week, instead of making it the sole focus. Any ideas would be welcome.

    Thoughts on the seven mounting heavens of celestia maybe? Or the nine hells even? Cosmology? More articles on reskinned creatures would be sweet. Maybe do a weekly or monthly spotlight for that? Just spitballing here.

    Speaking of spotlight, I think I'm going to add a spotlight section for your blog to shared creations after I get home from work.

    A weekly article on Reskinned creatures was something I was already considering. I am glad you liked that. I will definitely do that now.

    Thank you very much for the spotlight. That is awesome!

    Hey Guys,

    I haven't been on or posting on Adventuring Archives this last week. Just moved last week and my internet just got set back up last night. I will resume my posting on Adventuring Archives today and will be trying my hand at the Blogging from A to Z challenge. If you have any suggestions for topics I would love to hear them.

    Alright my first blog for the April *Blogging from A to Z challenge* is up now. "A is for Ancile":http://adventurearchives.blogspot.com/2012/04/is-for-ancile.html is a summary of the real world mythological shield called the Ancile which was the inspiration for the "Ancila":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/verdenheim/items/ancila, a set of items within my campaign setting Verdenheim. Please check it out and follow me on Blogger.
