I was just chatting with another member and it came up that he doesn't visit rpg.net.  That struck me as odd.

So, what other forums or blogs do you visit with some regularity?  I suppose the opposite is interesting too, if there are some forums you specifically avoid!


For me (in no particular order):

FORUMS

http://dragonsfoot.org - I scan some of the miscellaneous stuff more than the 1E discussions.
http://rpg.net - Sure, a lot of the threads are crap, but I just sift through and look at topics for games I'm interested in.  If for only the kickstarter tracking topic, it's worth visiting.
http://yog-sothoth.com - To keep up with everything happening with Call of Cthulhu.
http://www.gspendragon.com - To keep up with everything happening with Pendragon.
http://basicroleplaying.com/forum.php - To keep up on the wide variety of all the other BRP based games.
http://www.lythia.com - Everything Harn.
http://forum.strike-to-stun.net - The best WFRP site I've found.  If someone knows of others, I'd love to learn about them.
http://gringlespawnshop.proboards.com - The best old school Runequest site I've found.  Again, I'd love to know about other options.
http://www.kenzerco.com - The new Hackmaster is more fun than you'd think.
http://www.tomeoftreasures.com - Not super active, but the occasional discoveries/sales of obscure third party stuff are worth checking in for.
http://www.therpgsite.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2 - It's like the less crappy version of rpg.net, but of course there are still trolls.  I read only this subforum.
http://forum.atlas-games.com - To check in on Ars Magica.
http://www.thedesignmechanism.com - Makers of the current version of Runequest.

BLOGS

http://greyhawkgrognard.blogspot.com - My friend Joe Bloch's discussions of Greyhawk, OSR, and whatever else grabs him.
http://grognardia.blogspot.com - Whether you like James or not, this is definitely an influential blog about RPGs.
http://batintheattic.blogspot.com - Rob likes Harn too.  That's enough to check in and see what other things he's talking about.
http://tenfootpole.org/ironspike - (Mostly) OSR reviews - hundreds of them!
http://dreamsofmythicfantasy.blogspot.com - OSR news roundup.



Something I noticed at one point, when looking for other forums - there don't seem to be many (any?) others focused on collecting.  Sure, there are for sale listings, or occasional questions, but there aren't other collecting forums out there, unless they're all eluding me.  I mean, someone must be collecting GURPS or Runequest or whatever, right?  While the subtitle around here is "Dungeons & Dragons Collecting Forums" it effectively seems to be "RPG Collecting Forums" - I'd be much more likely to find someone here to answer my question about any RPG collectible than just about anywhere else.

I'm just an Acaeum daily, knights&knaves occasionally and Dragonsfoot occasionally, more for the 1E download section than anything else. And that's pretty much it.
Maybe I'll try some of the others too...

You're saying we aren't Eliteist here?? That was an old complaint bandied around a few years back

Currently in favorites (nothing really obscure):

Boardgame Geek: New and vintage boardgame info
The Comeback Inn: Blackmoor / Arneson
OD&D Discussion: Self explanatory
The Wizards Community: Keep track of D&D Next and currrent WOTC
Playing at the World: Added recently for tracking thoughts about the Dalluhn manuscript (Thanks Jon)

Since I have had very little free time of late, if I'm in the mood to do a little RPG centric browsing, it is usually on this site (oh and I can't get to The Acaeum from work so no posting until after work anymore   )

I occasionally browse:
Dragonsfoot: normally just to see what's up in the Gygax's Greyhawk thread, the Q&A threads with the like of Frank, Tim, etc., and the new releases in the Simulacrum games thread.  I never post there.
Canonfire:  It's Greyhawk so I'm always on the lookout for interesting Greyhawk related material.  I can't count how many awesome maps I've downloaded from there.
Knights & Knaves Alehouse:  I mainly check out this thread:  http://knights-n-knaves.com/phpbb3/view ... f=2&t=8986  Frankly one of the most awesome forum threads on the planet in my opinion.  
Zenopus Archives, Comeback Inn, and Yog-Sothoth I check out every so often as well.  Tome of Treasures I use only as a reference.

As far as blogs go....I usually go to Joe The Lawyer's Wondrous Imaginings:  http://wondrousimaginings.blogspot.com/
From there I scroll through his immense blogroll and pick and choose which topics/blogs look interesting that day and go from there.  And once in awhile I will check out Your Dungeon Is Suck for a cheap laugh or two:  http://yourdungeonissuck.wordpress.com/

Methinks you have waaayy too much spare time on your hands Steve.

The criteria was visit with regularity, not frequency.  I'm not hitting all of those daily.

This is the place I visit everyday and Piazza and Dragonsfoot occasionally.

It's not exactly a collecting forum but I go to Steve Jackson's forums for anything GURPS related and all questions. Sean Punch and other authors regularly answer questions and the like.

I mainly visit:

The Acaeum
Steve Jackson forums
White Wolf forums
Board game geek


I don't really do blogs...

Other than here at the Acaeum, I visit Dragonsfoot.

The BEST thing about Dragonsfoot is reading the CampaignJournals. It's amazing reading how other people end up running groups through the various D&D modules.
