Blogs you should Follow

So, my brothers were in town all weekend so I didn't get a chance to prepare any new material for this week yet.

But instead I thought I use today for something my brothers pointed out to me.  I follow a lot of blogs.
Maybe too many really, but there is so much cool stuff out there and so many interesting insights that I keep following more.

So I wanted to share with you all some of the smaller, lesser known finds.  Now just cause I am linking these and say not someone else's blog does not mean I like these better or even best.  I may not know the other blog you are thinking of, or I might not just have anything I want to say about them yet today.

So here are some I like and think they worth checking out.

Swords Against the Outer Dark
http://swordandsanity.blogspot.com/
Old School D&D + Old School Cthulhu.  I like this blog beasue it has this cool almost 70's occult revival + pulpy dark 30s vibe to it. It updated often and always with something that can be used.  Reminds me of a bit of the games I liked to run back in the day.

Daddy Grognard
http://daddygrognard.blogspot.com/
Another cool Old School blog with a lot of content.  It's blogs like that that make me think "man we should get all the coolest content together into one PDF."  But I think someone does that now anyway.

ChicagoWiz's RPG Blog
http://oldguyrpg.blogspot.com/
Ok, this one really doesn't need me to tell people how cool it is.  But ChgoWiz is a local guy and I have seen his games a few times.  He is back in the Blog scene and frankly I like to hear what he has to say.

Asshat Paladins
http://asshatpaladins.blogspot.com/
I like this blog because it is a cool eclectic mix of things.  He covers a lot of systems and games styles and averages a new post a day.  So not too bad really.  Everything is tagged for easy reading of the archives too.

Destination Unknown
http://unknownzine.blogspot.com/
Not just a song by Missing Persons another cool, eclectic mix of things.   All sorts of topics are covered and there is even a weekly video blog entry.

Rhonin's Ramblings
http://rhoninsramblings.blogspot.com/
Thoughts and posts of a 30+ year vet of the game scene.  Greg may be the only person I know who has played more games than me.  My DM for my current Pathfinder game (which he will post actual play reports, so you see how I do as a player.) and, hopefully, his postings on how do re-make the Marvel Universe as D&D 4 characters.

So there are just a few.
Like I said, these are ones I like.  There are a lot more.  Hopefully I'll talk about them soon too.
