For example, I like reading someone's experience on creating and running a sandbox game. I enjoy writing styles in which someone is sharing with me like they would in a workplace setting, not at a bar.<br /><br />I like news in blogs too like new games coming out.<br /><br />I like reviews that are thorough and professional.

Sometimes it is old, but sometimes it has a nice twist on it that I do like.<br /><br />The idea of praxis is a good one. I know I'm probably guilty of play advice being too detached, something that happens when you try to make it A.L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05306497273874881493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624244242117701070.post-68909827602516331152010-11-04T09:59:40.704-04:002010-11-04T09:59:40.704-04:00What I look for are thoughts upon design, house ru...What I look for are thoughts upon design, house rules and ideas on how to play, and reflections upon what roleplaying is and can do, and once in a while an AP - but only if that AP reveals to me what is happening around the table, the interaction between the players and the rules.

I don't want a blog that is just what I look for. I scroll down the list of blogs on the RPGBN and I go into posts that interest me. I want to see the person's perspective and the topics they want to cover. You won't get everyone. You won't get me all the time.
