The Best: 2008-9
Updating the list of the “best posts” at Campaign Mastery has been on my to-do list for years. I’ve decided to finally bite the bullet and get it done, even if it means doing it as posts-in-progress here at the site. I’ve learned from past exercises not to try and do too much in any single post, so I’ve broken it up into five, and I’ll be doing one a month or so for the next five or six months. To look at, these posts might seem extremely empty. That’s because 99% of the job is throwing things away that didn’t make the cut. So, without further ado:
The Best Of 2008-2009
2008-2009 contained Campaign Mastery’s baby steps. Johnn and I were feeling our way towards a unique style and format for the site, learning as we went. We managed more than 100 posts in this period of time, so there were plenty to choose from. In fact, there were so many great articles that I found I couldn’t pick between these 17 entries.
In order of publication:
- A Quality Of Spirit – Big Questions in RPGs
- Guilds, Organisations, and other Bad Company
