Other Language RPG Blogs

Although there are a few links in other languages here, you might want to look in your own language, or find something to listen to instead of something to read - on RPGs.

German:   http://rsp-blogs.de/
Italian:      http://www.gdrblogs.it/
Spanish:    http://redderol.blogspot.com/ 
Portugese: http://www.rpg.blog.br/
Danish:     http://alexandria.dk/feeds
Polish:      http://planeta.wieza.org/
Finnish:    look at the sidebar in http://nitessine.wordpress.com
An RPG podcaster network (huge): RPGPodcasts.com

Meanwhile I well passed the 400 mark some time ago. I try to list only active blogs, which have been posted on at least once the last few months. So I'm probably missing a few still. Let me know who!

Aha...

I just stumbled on a post which gives some insight into why applications to the RPG Bloggers Network take a tad long.  And maybe why their board (of dedicated hobbyists, I well suppose) seems a bit frightened of allowing "off topic" content. And why they sort of hide in anonymity.

I wasn't actively around then, so I missed the episode where the whole board considered to resign over the issue of banning a blog. Actually I can relate to this sort of turmoil, and how bad that feels. With a few dedicated friends I also ran a gamer group of around a hundred members, and we had a similar problem: a few players who made life hard for the rest. We also were not transparent enough. Or not transparent enough about not intending to be transparent. Our group kind of fell apart because of it. Or more maybe of making a big thing out of things.

Worst though was that we stayed scared for this sort of issue for the next decade. Even if we did not admit it. And that's a shame. I think 99.9% of the hobbyists is bona fide. And just playing. No more. No less. Not worth staying in trauma for.

Just passed the 350 mark

Well, just a day later I passed the 350+ blogs on this roll. As you may notice there are quite a few here that RPG Bloggers at the moment does not have. Then again, they may have a few gems hidden that I haven't found yet. I think I can still find a few more, and that's not counting other languages.

So, keep me posted what I'm missing out on. Or what's waaaay off the mark.

Over 275 blogs in a day

Well, it's way too late - since I have to be up and running in 6 hours again. But this first sunday showed me that there is a zillion blogs on role playing - or closely related to role playing out there. I already found over 275 of you, just following other blogrolls. And I think there are less than fifty who didn't post recently. Most are in english, a couple in spanish, german, italian or french.

So, if you think you're missing, or think someone else who's cool is, let me know in a comment, and I'll add them if I agree!


BTW I did hit on at least two other initiatives to log all the other rpgblogs: Eternal Keep and Old School RPG planet - the last one dedicated to Old School Renaissance.
