JOIN THE BLOGWAGON: Your Rule of Three!

Chris McDowall's Bastionland Podcast is back and man is it good. If you haven't tuned in yet, here's the pitch in Chris's own words:

"Each week, I'll talk to a new guest about three games that are important to them."

I was thinking, "Man, I'd love to talk to Chris about this." 

Haiku is now available in print, The Iron Coffin just got its second printing, and Planet Pulp— a "lost world" pulp adventure for Mothership—is in the works. But I have more design work to do before Chris will invite me on the show.

So, I thought: why not make a blogpost about it? And why not invite everyone else to do the same?

So, inspired by the ostrich-lord himself, I cordially invite you to join... a blogwagon:

Blogwagon: [Your Name]'s Rule of Three

Talk about three games that are important to you.

The game can be anything: RPG, board game, video game, LARP, etc. Note that it's "important" to you, not necessarily your favorite or most played. (This series included a game Amanda Lee Franck made up with her friends and a game George Bickers has never played. How amazing is that?)

Optionally, you can also answer any of the following questions:

  • What was your process for making your three choices?
  • Looking back over your three picks, do you see a connection between them?
  • Did you have any honorable mentions?

I'll update this post with my own Rule of Three in the near future. For now, let the game (writing) begin!
