Welcome to Gothridge Manor 10 Years Later

New Home, Same Dice

Ten years ago I opened up my blog Gothridge Manor on Blogger. I'm using a little creative license, it's actually been 3,562 days, or 9 years and 9 months. Almost ten. We'll nudge it. Back then I wrote about my origin story. I won't bore you with that here, but should your curiosity demand satisfaction here is a link to my first post, Welcome to Gothridge Manor.

A lot of gaming has happened in that time. I've met a ton of new gamers, good people, I wouldn't have otherwise met. I'm playing a lot of different games, bought even more games, and started making my own stuff. I grew out of my old space. With the demise of Google+ and Blogger overrun with spammers, it gave me the incentive to kick things into gear. I've owned GothridgeManor.com for several years and never did anything with it...until now.

It's cool. I'm able to host my blog, have my store, and share my podcast in one location. I know I'll need to fix issues along the way, but I'm up for the challenge. What I lack in tech knowledge, YouTube should make up for my ignorance. If I want to know how to build Staud's Castle out of cream cheese and matchsticks you can bet there is someone who's already done it and shared it.

GM Games Store

When you visit Gothridge Manor, you'll have it all in one place. I have divided up my store into categories. The Manors, Micro-Adventures have two categories for vertical and horizontal (you can only set one picture size per row), NPC Cards, and lastly my Used Gaming Books section. I've been clearing out space on my bookshelves for books I've read and no longer going back to, have duplicates, and just need to make room for new stuff that's coming in. All the prices including shipping in the US and an additional charge for the rest of the world.

Gothridge Manor Podcast

For those who don't know I've been podcasting for almost a year. I use the Anchor app and it is distributed to various podcasting sites (see below). I podcast from my car at lunchtime, driving home, and on rare occasions I do it from my office. It's a raw conversation about gaming. I usually steal ideas from others and give my own take on the topic. I don't edit. There are a few episodes where you'll hear me stop talking, get out of my car, fish keys out of my pockets, and get mauled by my dogs as I open the door. I have fun with it. I'm hoping to expand it more this year to include interviews or conversations with other gamers.

Patreon

My Micro-Adventures Patreon is another wonderful platform that helps feed my gaming book addiction. You'll see my store is full of my creations from Patreon. I've had several folks ask me about where they can buy them without Patreon and I never had an answer for them. Now I do. While not all of them are listed at this time, I've got a large batch available and it'll continue to expand.

Newsletter

It's important to get access to you. There is a newsletter option that allows me to let you know when and what I'm releasing. I intend to start campaigning for that to happen soon. There is a signup 'thing' and the bottom of my main page. I'm in the process of discovering its secrets. If you are so inclined, head over there and sign up. I plan on doing giveaways and that's what I'll use to do it.

Alright everyone, I want to thank you for stopping by my new home. I hope you find the accommodations to your liking. And if you have have an suggestions or issues let me know.

My gratitude.
