For the past several years I have invited people to join a Facebook Group dedicated to discussing my various RPG projects.
The purpose of this was to share links to my blog posts and hopefully create more interest in my blog, which is the place that I choose to talk about my TTRPG game designs, as well as other things that interest me like board games and geeky fandom.
The problem was that the infrastructure of blog networking had shifted dramatically, and I wasn't even sure people read blogs all that much anymore. I had hoped that sharing links to my blog posts in a Facebook group would help.
Whether this has worked or not, is moot. I have come to see the community on Facebook as toxic and have stepped away from that platform. This has lead me to a variety of changes as I have begun to reorganize my online presence.
I am going to continue to share links to my blog posts on the social media platform, Bluesky. I do this because, open discussion of ideas in the form of blogger comments is cumbersome and slow, and commenting on a social media post is much easier.
In addition, as I begin to promote my itch.io page and try to set up print-on-demand options for some of my better TTRPG zine creations, I want to make better use of the two domains that I am paying for: dreamsdragons.com and comicbookheart.com. Originally, these were for two different blogs, one about TTRPG design, and the other about comic books.
It didn't take long before I found maintaining two blogs to be too much for me and merged the two, pointing both domains to the same blog address and merging the two blogs. Now, I want to branch the two domains again.
- dreamsdragons.com redirects to my itch.io creator page
- comicbookheart.com redirects to this blog

I hope that you will join me there and continue to follow me in the future.
Regards,
Jeff
