A Long Awaited Journey

I have been meaning to do something like this for some time now, but only now have I gotten around to it. I am starting another blog.

The mandate of this blog is essentially "Etarran reflects on the universe in whatever way he sees fit," and that's all very well, to be sure. However, politics-philosophy-gaming-dinosaurs-metaphysics-physics-mathematics-literature-psychology-sociology-and-anything-else-that-strikes-my-fancy was beginning to be a bit too much to handle, and is, I feel, leeching focus from any of the individual issues that I discuss. Furthermore, the project I have in mind for the new space is somewhat more ambitious than can really fit in a blog dedicated to other things, and demands its own space.

So you can (mostly) scratch out the "gaming" section of the above list.

The Games Of Castles is intended to be a space for me to discuss games: gaming culture, gaming as a hobby, individual games that strike my interest. But, more than all this, it is intended to be a place where I can catalogue games: campaign logs, setting information, story and character and plot and background, all woven together into what is hopefully a cohesive and interesting whole. Roleplaying games, after all, are in many ways like writing a story - and what good is a story if you don't share it with anyone?
