Welcome to Apocalyptic Analysis -- a Blog About Gaming

Yet Another Gaming Blog

Ultimately, you have to blame the GURPS Discord server. That's all there is to say. Everyone else is doing it, and we clearly need more GURPS-specific blogs. I will use this blog to discuss other gaming interests as well, buuut...mostly GURPS. 

I will also need to learn about formatting and HTML and other boring stuff that I don't have time for. 

Because every blog needs a reasonable topic to focus on, this blog really looks at gaming-related analysis. Analysis of what? ANYTHING. Some ideas for future blog posts:

• Amusement Analysis: What makes for a "fun" gaming session? A "fun" campaign? 
• Systemic Analysis: How does a game's system interact with the campaign setting to create a unique experience for the players? 
• Kitchen Sink Syndrome: How do you know when you are putting too much into a campaign? 
• Meta-analysis: Let's analyze some gaming terminology and get our terminology straight. Without clear definitions, things just get confusing fast.

So there you go. We'll see if I can get one post per week up and go from there. Given the decrease in my real-life gaming time, this seems like a reasonable and fun way to exercise my GMing creativity.
