Epic Words

I have been a member of Obsidian Portal for awhile now. The only thing is, I haven’t really used it. I have tinkered with it, but not too sure about it. Recently I came across EpicWords.com. They are like Obsidian Portal, but arranged a bit differently. The layout is simpler, but seems to be more robust. They have easy to use controls & features. The separation of a Campaign from having just a gaming group is a bonus. It comes as a boon to me, being the president of a gaming club. I plan on using this service to organize & keep track of my next campaign. Hopefully I can get all of the OGREs to get on there, too. I am still going to keep at it with Obsidian Portal. Maybe I will be able to do a side-by-side review of the two services.

Both have features that can be handy to any GM. I know that Obsidian Portal can be a boon to the Alternate Fantasy GMs out there. Plenty of home campaigns with some great material for you to explore.

For my first post that is not an introduction, let’s look at a promising project on Kickstarter.

My shiny new hobby: RPG Blogs

Hi there, I'm Dale Norman. Many may know me better from numerous message boards as Xorial. This is my delve into the world of RPG blogging. Here I will explore many aspects of the RPG world, with a concentration on the various Alternate Fantasy setting, hence the title. I have been in the hobby long enough to get somewhat bored with standard fantasy settings, so I decided to look more closely at those setting that break the mold. I will admit up front to a bias towards the Pathfinder RPG. That doesn't mean I won't look at other systems. Hey, there are more alternate settings that are not PFRPG than for.
