A few years ago, I experimented with another blog. While not gaming related directly, an observant member of the gaming hobby can identify instances where the skills I learned as a gamer and roleplayer enabled me to do my job better. With less hassle. With some people skills.
I haven't posted to Saturday Knight Special in over three years. It's pieces of stories of my early years as a cop in the South Bronx in the late 90s. The winding down of the "crack years."
It took work to keep it updated, as the vast majority of the posts were written, rewritten and then written again, all trying to find the right voice. It was fun but work. Then work became lots of work, and I stopped the writing and focused on The Tavern.
I was surprised my the number of inquiries I had at NTRPG Con as to when there would be more Saturday Knight Special. Not a lot of inquiries, just a half dozen, but for a blog I haven't updated in over three years, significant on it's own.
I'll have lots of free time in about eight months, but does this deserve some attention now?
Damn, that reminds me I owe someone an historical police themed piece for their zine...
Sounds more interesting than "here's the latest D&D module you can buy." I'd check it out.
ReplyDeleteI just found it interesting I had read that blog and didn't know you were the author. Almost makes me want to blog more about some of my military experiences....
ReplyDeleteI found the SKS blog incredibly interesting and would love to read some more!
