Today we have a new entry in our blog carnival, this one from Stargazer’s World: New Year, New Game. If you’re curious what Michael’s planning with Shadow, Sword & Spell, check it out!

I also got a great email from Robust McManlyPants (of the west side McManlyPantses, and a blog carnival praticipant) that summed up what NYNG is all about so well that I asked him if I could share it with you:

I’m trying to encourage one of my co-player-co-DM peeps to write an entry because it turns out the next thing we’re doing is using a session of Microscope (new to all of us) to develop a steampunk sci-fantasy world and then running a limited-series Burning Wheel game (new to all of us) set in one of the historical periods we define. I’ve also taken an early vow to use that setting and game as at least a launching point for my tenth year of participating in National Novel Writing Month. NYNG has inspired three of the five of us to specific new creative endeavors already. How awesome is that?
