Blogging

From reading someone's blog post I thought I'd give this a try and see how it looked. The person started out saying to place a picture that caught the reader's attention and then lead into the bog with large gripping text.

After the large paragraph of text you could then go in and write what your current post was about. I thought I would start with a snowflake and the reason I chose the image being that I'm a designer for an industrial refrigeration company. We install refrigeration systems in warehouses for cooling or freezing product before it is shipped out to restaurants and stores.

Some markets around the U.S. aren't doing so well but we've been fortunate that the food industry seems to be strong. How's your industry and the company you work for doing?

Campaign Thoughts

I've been building up ideas and treasure parcels for a sequel to a Campaign called Sword of Seprpents that I've been running on-and-off now for about seven or so years. The campaign started using Dungeons & Dragons Second Edition and evolved to Third edition, but the sequel will be done in Fourth Edition. See Serpent Campaign in the sidebar to the right for more details.

A blog by Greywulf has an interesting blog called Confessions of a Lazy DM (http://blog.microlite20.net/tag/lazygm/), but I don't see his ideas as "Lazy" per say, I see them as creatively efficient. I use quite a number of these "Lazy" techniques myself because I feel that a good in depth background, story, and descriptive world building are more deserving of my time than building encounters. A good combat is important, but shouldn't be a place where lots of time is burned away when you could be creating a nasty memorable villain or some incredible backdrop where the encounter will take place.
