Inaugural Posting

-

Wow! A new blog, in the year 2024! It must appear at least as ridiculous to you as it seems to me. But with the ongoing collapse of social media, I thought it would be nice to have a place to "post", and I'm hoping to do some more longform posting, of a kind that seems out of place even on Cohost. If you've found this blog, you probably already know that I publish games at benkrosenbloom.itch.io, but if you've somehow stumbled across this, welcome! Most of my blogging I anticipate to be about tabletop games or adjacent to games - reviews, after-action reports, design thoughts, etc - but I've been reading books again, and I can imagine being sufficiently moved by a book to write something about it here.

It's possible you've heard a cool game featured on an actual play podcast or stream or video series, and wanted to pick it up. And of course, you try to follow the trends and check out interesting new releases. Well, I don't know about you - but if you are  in such a position, having bought many more games than you've read (and read many more games than you've played), you might find yourself considering, like I have, what to do with such a vast treasure. Richard Kelly has provided me with one possible answer - save the world. Or at least, a library. Heroic Archivist is a game in which you accrue points by reading through your backlog of games, and potentially earn more points by rating and reviewing. These points can then be spent in a little dice battle again...
