  • January RPG Blog Carnival Roundup

    Whew! Sorry, everyone, January got away from me a bit. Between work getting busy and illness, I looked up and it was February. Nevertheless, we had several contributors to the January Blog Carnival, and I want to thank all the bloggers who took on our theme of “gaming on a budget”. Here’s a little round-up…

  • Give and Take

    As I mentioned in my New Year’s resolution post, I want to branch out and take on some guest blogging in the coming year. Writing for my blog is all well and good, and I obviously love it or I wouldn’t keep doing it. I love writing about any gamerly topic that pops into my…

  • 3 RPG Blogs You Should Read

    Recently I joined the RPG Blog Alliance, an agrigator for role-playing blogs. I wanted to get my blog in front of a slightly wider audience (which has happened), but I was equally interested in having a source of good blogs for my own enjoyment. While sites like Gnome Stew or RPG.net are great, sometimes I…

  • Altered States

    Starting the week off with updates about Renaissance Gamer, because some things are, you guessed it, changing. I’m going back to a M-F update schedule. I tried M-W-F, or sometimes T-Th-Sat, but that usually resulted in a single post and an “eff you!” to the rest of the week. Habit is everything when it comes…

  • 5 Blogs I Read for Fun

    I suppose it should go without saying that, since I write a blog, I must also read other blogs.  While that is weirdly not always so (I do know of one blogger who doesn’t read other blogs because “they generally all suck”… *sniff* But not mine, right?) in my case it is certainly true.  Besides…

  • Back in the Saddle Again…

    Okay, that was a nice little “vacation”.  I promise not to let too many more of those happen, but believe me when I say it was needed.  But I’m back and working on some new Renaissance Dork goodness for the new year.  Let’s get started. *     *     * I have toyed with the idea of…

  • Quiz Winners!

    Thanks to everyone that submitted an entry to my Centurion Quiz.  It was highly entertaining to see how much, and how little, you know about me.  The time has come to announce the three winners, but first the answer key: Let’s start with an easy one: I changed my Twitter handle to match my blog…

  • My Centurian!

    Welcome to the One Hundredth Post here on Renaissance Dork!  It’s a pretty exciting day around here; one hundred posts means I can finally sit back and let the sweet syndication money flow in, right guys?  Guys? Right? Seriously, I’m really happy to have made it to one hundred posts.  This is officially the longest…

  • Edmonton Nerdery and Future Plans

    Today is sort of a two for one post; I have some local nerdery to promote, and I want to talk for a bit about my plans for Renaissance Dork. But, nerdery first! Costuming Help 101: An Informal Affair Join the Edmonton Steampunk group for a casual afternoon of costume planning and instruction!  If you…

  • What My Blog Has Taught Me So Far

    Sorry if you looked for me at the end of last week.  I got slammed with a summer cold and decided to take Thursday and Friday off.  But I didn’t waste that time away, in fact I thought a lot about my blog and what I want it to become.  For those of you that…
