Hurray! I’ve written 1,000 blog posts for this website!

Lots of stuff about my own life and science when I started. That’s transitioned to the blog being mostly about Dungeons and Dragons. D&D stuff is more fun for me to write and less invasive into my personal life, especially after my kids were born and I wanted to protect their privacy.

My last navel-gazing blog post was only a few months ago in January 2026. The post laid out a list of items to complete prior to launching a crowdfunding campaign for getting the Cimmeria Campaign Setting officially published. I’m still working on those pieces and have made some decent progress.

  1. The NaNoWriMo novel continues to slowly chug out. I’ve taken a break from it over the last month or two but should be getting back to it soon.
  2. I’ve been writing a lot of Cimmeria crunchy rules stuff. New Species, new Subclasses, new Backgrounds, new Feats, new Monsters, new Spells, and new Magic Items! All sorts of new things! Those are scheduled to start posting in October (I have a large backlog of weekly posts).
  3. I’ve begun outlining the campaign I want to publish for playing in Cimmeria. The plan is to have the campaign as a companion product to the Cimmeria Campaign Setting book. That way you have something to play in the setting right away.
  4. In the interest of building my reputation before a crowdfunding campaign, I wanted to have a few things published on DriveThruRPG prior to launching the campaign. One of those things would be a Cimmeria Player’s Guide which collects some of the content from #2 in this list. Another thing I want to put together is a short adventure within Cimmeria. I’ve begun outlining that as well.
  5. I’m also continuing my work on having a bunch of Magic: The Gathering cards based on different characters, events, locations, etc. in Cimmeria. That work is going smoothly and the rules text for all the cards should be complete by the end of the year. After that comes flavor text, images, and putting all the pieces together. Maybe I’ll throw together a few custom Commander decks as well.

That’s all I’ve been working on! Along with everything else you’ve seen such as the podcast, RPG reviews, Races of Cimmeria content, and Tabletop Community Spotlight. This wraps up 1,000 posts on GoCorral.com! Now on to the next thousand!
