Summary Post for the d30 Challenge Which Ended Yesterday

OK folks...this is it...

My only "real" promoted post on this subject since I announced I'd be taking part in the d30 Challenge as proposed by Mark over at Creative Mountain Games....and subsequently tweaked by me,

As far as I know only three people took up the gauntlet....I could be wrong:
           +Mark CMG Clover
           +Matthew Schmeer
           +Me (duh)

The esteemed +Dyson Logos lightly complained that he didn't care for this themed post a day bit, and while he seems to be a pretty stand-up guy, his opinion probably means jack squat. I thought he did have a good point though, so while I participated in this d30 challenge I did not actively promote it. For me this was an exercise in making more frequent and smaller posts while not necessarily getting to choose the content.

I took this as an opportunity to stretch a small bit and get out of my comfort zone, something I think we all need to do more often I might add. Good content, bad content....doesn't matter as much as the effort.

Below is the question that was asked each day, a TL;DR summation of my answer, and a link to the post if you want to read it for yourself:

d30 Challenge Day 30

This is my 30th entry in the d30 Challenge, which is a bastardization of an idea I first saw on Mark "CMG" Clover's feed. Now I'm a sucker for these things and I know some folks aren't so while I'm committed to answering one question about my favorite hobby each day, and putting together a d30 table before the end of the month, I know not everyone is so interested. I'll put the question & answer after the break, posting late in the day, and not promoting this on G+ so those who don't like this kind of thing should be exposed only minimally.

I think this is the best I can do....

Free Frugal GM Product at DriveThruRPG: d30 Quick NPC Personality Generator

It is a day early, but I have my d30 table completed and up on DriveThruRPG for free downloading.

Enjoy....

I'll end up linking to this in tomorrow's summary post for the d30 challenge, but you don't have to wait until then.

Free GM Resource: TheDMGinfo YouTube Channel

This week's Free GM Resource is another great YouTube channel that luckily just showed up randomly in my feed. Now I don't know about you, but I get a lot of random crap in my feed. You watch one or two interesting videos about something and YouTube thinks I want to be flooded with seemingly related content.

Last week I happened across TheDMGinfo channel and initially thought "meh, nothing new here"....then I happened across some videos for creating your own minis. Now I don't think I'm that crafty, not that I let it stop me any, but after seeing the videos, which I think is still a series in process, I felt that I could do that!

I think maybe once I finish my other 2,437,612 other projects I have in progress I just might....
