Time Keeps on Ticking
1 year and 134 posts later.. Huh… I am not joking.. I really didn’t realize it had been that long. Yesterday I was doing a post congratulating Shawn on doing Clockworks for a year and wondered how long I had been doing Wrathofzombie and took a look.. BOOM! On the nose! Yesterday was my one year anniversary. Yay for me!
Looking back at my original idea of what I wanted to do with this blob, I have pretty much stayed true to that goal. I have met some great people, tossed out different ideas that I’ve had, and learned more things about being a better DM/GM.
Going to the Future
I’m going to continue to blog when I get time and hopefully contribute some worthwhile ideas that people find interesting. I look forward to meeting other people in the gaming community that shares the love of the hobby as I do.
People
Over the course of the year I have met some really cool people and have exchanged ideas with many of them. I want to thank each of them for offering me great advice, just yaking and developing a cool friendship, and generally having great ideas and thoughts on their blogs and sites!
Take the time to take a look at their sites.

Go you! Surviving one year as a blogger is no mean feat. What would you say is the piece you are most proud of?
Thanks Phil 🙂 Moosh.. Which piece am I most proud of? That’s a hard one.. There are several that I’m proud of, I guess. The one I did for you, “Dude you Gotta Try Savage Worlds” got a bit of positive feedback and that was nice.. I would say that “What does the 4e DMG2 offer a 3.x player”, “My Game Mechanics”, and my Wrath of Zombie game that I build from the ground up for Savage Worlds are all parts I’m really proud of.
Those posts got good feedback, got people discussing ideas, or just got some decent traffic (which never hurts).
Congratulations on your first year of blogging.
Keep up the good work!
Congrats on your anniversary and thanks for all the great writing and ideas. I appreciate the time and effort you’ve put into it. Looking forward to year two!
Congrats on the anniversary! We passed our six months a couple of weeks ago and barely batted an eye at it, we were to busy writing content. From one blogger to another keep going and keep it up!
Thanks for stopping by 🙂 I’m looking at your blog now (sadly I haven’t heard of it before) and I am liking what I am seeing! 🙂
