All you have to do is move to a different group. There's always an interesting topic going on. The RPG blogging sites are like a big party with small groups of people.

Gnome Stew is now 10 authors strong, and gearing up for a kickass launch in the next week or two. As for competition, it might sound odd but I don't look at Musings, Gnome Stew, Dungeon Mastering, Stupid Ranger, Roleplaying Tips and any other GMing sites I haven't mentioned as being in competition. We're all generous with link love and, in my experience, genuinely focused on creating fun, useful stuff for the GMing community. If gold-plated Lexuses hung in the balance based on our web traffic numbers, maaaaybe we'd look at things differently -- but I still think the cooperative-not-competitive spirit would be there. ;) Thanks for the link, ChattyDM!

I'm more skeptical of some of the author's grasp of the game's crunch... but I now believe that D&D 3.x is a thankless mistress for adventure designers... Creativity takes a hard hit when comes the time to arrange the crunch. No wonder some of the best adventures were written by those who created that edition of the game. @Gazza: One Lasagna recipe post coming up soon. @Brian: Hey Trollsmyth. Thanks for the links on your side, I tried commenting once or twice and the system ate my posts. I'm really happy to have showed up on Jeff's blog. He's the one who inspired my original Rule of Cool post that set me on the whole blogging path! I'm done reading Broadsword and I've gone through most of World of Broadsword. I'll put up a review of both soon, nice beer & pretzels game. @Michael: I’ve subscribed to Pathfinder and on the whole I like what they do with the stories.

I'm on a diet all year, but it's not so strict that I can't have pasta every now and then. :) Maybe I’ll take that recipe.

How about them (local sports team in season)s? Gnome stew? I'd always thought that gnomes went best in a hollandaise, you know, like in the old song "There's no race like gnome for a hollandaise." Amusingly enough, the adventure he reviewed? It was one of exactly two adventures I have bought since the inception of D&D 3.x. Actually, I take that back. I forgot that I also bought the omnibus edition of the OD&D Keep on the Borderland series.
