Kill It With Dice - a New Blog on the Block!


Gamer Life General Discussion

Hey all,

I've been a longtime lurker on these boards. It's only been in the last year or so that I've become more active and joined in the conversation. But the overall sense of community that these forums has fostered makes me want to do what I can to give back.

I'd like to introduce Kill It With Dice, a pen and paper RPG blog authored by myself and a couple of friends from my local gaming group. We're fairly system agnostic right now but have a pretty strong background in Pathfinder/3.5 D&D which I think fits in pretty well around here.

We're trying to publish content about twice a week and so far we've been doing pretty well. If there are any particular topics you'd like to see discussed please feel free to suggest them. We're absolutely open to ideas, especially in these early days of figuring out what exactly it is we're trying to do and say.

You can check us out at Kill It With Dice or like us on Facebook. Comments, feedback, or other thoughts would be very much appreciated.

Thanks everyone!

looks interesting - always room for more Pathfinder fans and content out there on the interwebs :)

One comment from a visual perspective: reading large walls of white text on a dark grey background is murder on the eyes when looking at a computer screen for many many people. I would look into a layout that is much easier and less tiring to read.

Best of luck on the blog!


Great title!

Thanks!

Will look into a new color template. At the moment we're just using a prearranged template from blogger. I'll see what I can do to customize it so it's easier on the eyes.

Just figured out how to add a banner logo and a Subscribe button...

Can you tell I'm not overly tech savvy?

Also, new content!


I would normally bawk at blogs, but there is some decent content in there for people to read over. Feel free to post in this thread occasionally about updates. I'll look through em at least.

If you don't mind, what kind of things do you typically NOT like in blogs? And what would you want to see more of?


Keep it clear, concise, and to the point. Stay relatively on the topic mentioned and don't go off on a 50 line rant about your cat that has nothing to do with the original topic. If something in the post isn't necessary, cut it as it's better to be short than repetitive and long.

You've already gotten the life story part out of the way and that's good. I'd keep it to giving helpful and creative advice on how to DM, how to play characters etc. Things that help people in their own gaming and provide tips they may not have considered before.

Couple of updates.

The first, "Benchmarking Your PCs?", by Jeremy talks about comparing the relative power levels of the PCs at your table with where the game expects them to be.

The second, "Measured Response," by Anthony discusses how to be a better optimizer at your table.

First impression : the small font makes the text hard to read.

Appropriate font size would be between the current size and the size of the titles.

Compare it to the font size on these boards ;-)

Do I need some special account to make comments, or is there a way to make them just passing-by (anonymously, I guess) ?

Thanks for the feedback! We're trying to get a handle on text formatting. Can't quite make up our minds.

Bumped up the font size a bit. Hope it helps.

I've just enabled anonymous commenting. But there's always the option of using Google account if you have one.

Blogger has a helpful little FAQ here
