+Charles Akins has just completed the most comprehensive list / review of RPG / OSR related blogs that I have ever seen. I will spend the upcoming weekend reading each and every link he has posted on his blog to see what I may have missed previously.
Charles put a lot of work into it, and it shows. Do yourself a favor, your hobby a favor, and go to Charles's blog Dyvers and check the list out.
Do it now.
Really.
I mean it.
Go!
