Ok, before life got really complicated, I read a lot of RPG/OSR blogs. At least until the middle of last summer, I felt like I could still read everything on my blogroll within 24 hours of posting. Yes, not everything was strictly relevant but there was a heck of a lot of good stuff. Useful stuff. Stuff that actually improved my games.
And that's what this is all about.
Anyway, I can't even hope to remain that current anymore. But that's where Google Reader has come to my rescue. Now, I can work through the blogs that I like at my own pace and be fairly sure that cool stuff isn't going to slip through the cracks.
The drawback, however, is that I do not get the chance to comment on blogs as much as I used to to. I do a lot of reading in the corners of my work day or on a mobile device and it's not always convenient (or allowed) to drop comments. (Another drawback, is that I may be get to posts several weeks after the fact).
So please, do not interpret my lack of comments as lack of interest. I'm still reading most of you folks. I just may not always get a chance to tell you directly unless it comes up in a post of my own (or if I happen to be reading from home).

Man! And here I was going to stop blogging because you stopped commenting! :)
I read all my blogd via Reader too, and try to comment but not as much as I would like. Too many to read!
Well, this was really such a nice article. Very entertaining and full of sense to read. Great!
Reader is both a boon and a bane. It makes skimming too easy, and there's just so much cool stuff out there.
@Matt: :P
@Simon: Indeed, too many to read. But so much good stuff out there...
@Lowell: I agree. Too easy to skim on Reader. But at this point, it helps me manage my information overload. I'm still managing to find the good stuff, even if it is a little dated in some cases.
