Why I Do It
The past week has been spent contact people in the RPG community and offering help with various projects that they have undertaken, and during this time it occurred to me that I have never explained why I am doing any of this.
RPGs are a defining aspect of my life, and have been since I first started playing them. Much of my knowledge in diverse areas of history, religion, geography, weapons and a dozen other things has come largely from experience garnered during play. (Pun possibly intended.) Further, it was through gaming that I first began to develop any real social skills. Without exaggeration, I can say that RPGs have made me who I am today, and without them I would be an incredibly different person, to say the least, which brings me to why I do this.
I love RPGs. As I explained above, I owe the life I have to them, and because of that I can think of no nobler task than giving back to the RPG community in any way that I can. I started this blog with the hope of offering help and insight to people. I join communities with the hope of offering help and making a real connection with people who share my greatest passion.
Anything I can do to give to the community, I will do my best. If you are involved with an RPG related project or otherwise know of one, please get in touch with me. You can leave a comment on this article or send me an e-mail at Daniel (at) AlephGaming (dot) com.

Hi,
I run a tabletop RPG campaign website called Obsidian Portal ( http://www.obsidianportal.com ). Put simply, it’s a way to organize all your campaign material online and easily create a campaign website. We have a dual focus of making it easier to run a game by organizing all the material, while at the same time giving groups an online space they can use to present their campaigns and stories.
Come check us out! We’d love to be featured in an article and linked in the sidebar.
