2010-04-09 Looking for Old School Blogs

A while ago Rob Conley assembled a collection of Old School Renaissance Sites. He mentioned the Old School RPG Planet I’m running.

When I look at the list of blogs on that Planet’s sidebar, I can’t help myself but think “OMG, it’s full of blogs!” – 112 of them to be exact, at the moment.

The list of blogs has a very cool feature: At the end of the list you’ll find a link to the OPML file. You can use this file to mass-subscribe to all blogs at once if you “import” it into your feed reader (Google Reader, Bloglines, or any other site or application).

112 blogs and counting is a bit much for one person. It’s a cool place to start, but eventually readers will have to tune out of some of these blogs. It’s a lot to read. But it’s still a nice page to click every now and then and look for inspiration.

The RPG Bloggers is a similar site. They have a Legacy D&D category, but authors have to apply in order to be accepted. Maybe we’ll have rules later, if required. I’d prefer not to. ;)

In the very beginning, as I was looking for blogs to read, I carefully studied all the blogrolls in our little corner of the blogosphere. I can’t keep up anymore. Help me by adding them to the list of feeds. At the bottom of that page you’ll find a link saying Edit this page. Click it and follow the examples.

=> list of feeds

The format is really simple – the feed URL in square brackets, and the blog name on the next line:

[http://grognardia.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default]
name = Grognardia

Make sure you don’t supply the blog address!

http://grognardia.blogspot.com/ → blog address for humans → bad! ☹ 👎

http://grognardia.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default → feed address for computers → good! ☺ 👌

Nice list. I see that I was already on it, so I don’t have to do anything.
