I tweet and I blog, yet some ideas are the wrong size or shape for those places.

So here I am, becoming entumbled. Yes, I have started a tumblr. It’s called Worldforge.

I plan on posting ideas and thoughts there that don’t have anywhere else to go. Sometimes they will be something I think is great. Sometimes they’ll just be something I need out of my head. Some will be about roleplaying games or stories or other worlds. Some will be about whatever.

Sometimes I see pictures and things I want to interpret and comment on: an ecology for a creature, the origins of an item, what’s going on in the place depicted. Those sorts of things. You may see them here from time to time. I’ve already done some Dungeon World stats for some cool art I found online of a creature called The Mushroom King (yes, you can see Alice in the foreground of the artwork, but I was imagining the thing about the size of a wagon. So I say that’s shrunken Alice, not giant mushrooms… though maybe there is a giant Grand High Mushroom King. Who knows?).

Other things are likely to appear from the Worldforge too.

Right now, it is all experimental. What could possibly go wrong?

So, that’s paraphrasing my introductory post on my tumblr from yesterday. Why do I need to tweet, blog and now tumble, too? Mostly because I have some ideas or sometimes find cool things, that are too big to tweet but that I don’t feel warrant a post here. As I said, it’s also an experiment. You’ll find non-roleplaying stuff there too.

Anyway, if you’re interested, my tumblr tweets every post I make, so you can grab the RSS of Worldforge or just follow me on Twitter. I hope that tumbling will let me make and share some new and different content.

Thanks, as always, for reading.

I haven’t posted in over a month. Nanowrimo is one reason, but not the only one. I mentioned several post topics back in September and had a pretty good run that month then less posts in October and November. Looking back at the topics I intended to post about but haven’t yet, some still interest me and others don’t. So I’ve been thinking about what Pyres of Vam means to me and what I intend to do here.  

Spoiler: I’m gonna keep posting but change how I do it a bit. Read on for why and how.
