Why a Blog?

I've been having all these thoughts recently about writing RPGs again. My head has been filled with scraps of game ideas, technical rules, adventure seeds... in general, a bunch of unrelated stuff. I have been meaning, for months, to write a bunch of this stuff down. However, I've been generally too busy to spend a concerted effort to organize a bunch of my thoughts into one item.

I also had a hard disk crash about six months ago. I didn't realize at the time, but I had lost most of my old writings. I am particularly saddened by the loss of the first adventure for Cultists & Crystalwavers. I had spent a lot of time on that, and really liked how it turned out. I'll have to rewrite it, before it all fades from memory.

That's all very interesting... but, why a blog? It doesn't seem like the right medium... Does it? Well, there's really three reasons why. First, I wanted to share some of these ideas with my friends. Mostly in hopes of getting some feedback in what they would be interested in playing and tweaking the concepts. Second, this is being stored on Blogger's server. I don't have to worry about disk crashes, or backups. Third, I can access it at any time and post a quick entry. So, now I won't have an excuse not to write this stuff down.
