[PUBLIC] Done With That
Today the last regular post to Ten Years on Terra went up, the weekdaily blog I've been keeping of the A Time of War (MechWarrior) tabletop I've been running for the last year. Writing that has been a major contributing factor to the lack of posts on this LJ -- most of my content creation effort has been going there, trying very hard to keep up with the once-a-weekday schedule I was holding myself to. The first three weeks were definitely the hardest, but anytime the frontlog dropped below three entries or so was stressful.
On the other hand, maintaining the log was a tremendous boon to my as a gamemaster, and made sure that I spent at least a few hours a week thinking about the game, even if I wasn't running that particular week. I think I may make this a regular feature of my GMing style -- perhaps not publicly (this one was partially done as a service to the rest of the BattleTech community) but the public exposure definitely motivated me to keep writing.
I could make comments on the game itself, but I've already done so (quite exhaustively) there.
