Take on all Comers
Written by Tyson J. Hayes on 2010/03/05 – 00:00 -
While writing Don’t Break the Chain I got to thinking of challenges I set for myself as a GM and as a writer. I find myself when writing blog posts to have the uncanny ability to write just about anything and somehow relate it to gaming. I decided it’s time to level up my writing and creative thinking skills. So I issue this challenge:
Give me a topic, any topic, and I will then relate it to gaming and give you a blog post.
Now to issue a further challenge to myself I will try to focus on GM/Player advice. I will not take any shortcuts on any ideas and the post will make sense. I will write them in the order they have been received and it will dictate my posting schedule until this is done. For my sanity please include references to what your referring to so I can make sure I’m meeting the challenge. Please note these posts will not interrupt Savage Mondays or any special posts we currently have on schedule. You my dear viewers now control this mouth piece. Please, don’t be gentle.
Below will be the List. Every time I write a new post I’ll link to it here. Check back periodically to see my progress.
The Big List
- Your Mother is a Whore – Brian Williams
- Poop Jokes – Grak the Dragon Rider
- “Accepting Failure” – Cole
- Robert’s Rules of Order – Will
- Ontology – Will
- Pokemon – Will
- Trees – Will
- Refinishing the dining room table to original spec. – kimberlyunger
- Mandelbrot Set – tehgeekmeister
- Diagnosing Your Pet’s Illness Through Inspection of its Fecal Matter – kinjikai
- Bob Uecker – kinjikai
- Statistics on divorce in the state of Wisconsin – kinjikai
- The Tommy Westphall Universe – kinjikai
- Batman – Jeff Carlsen
What challenge can you issue yourself? Call everyone out and throw down the gauntlet. It’s time to see what your made of.

I have a post scheduled for the 15th of this month titled “Accepting Failure.”
The third paragraph from that post reads:
I was wondering what would be your take on this topic.

If I don't get enough comments to pad me out that far (I was planning on writing nothing but this until I ran out) I'll bump my response back until after I read your article.

Just to clarify on a couple of points:
By Robert's Rules of Order you mean http://www.robertsrules.com/ correct?
Ontology you are referring to the philosophical study of being correct?

oooOOOooooo…. A Challenge :) For you *and* I because it's awfully hard for me to come up with a topic *not* directly related to gaming :)
Here's one: Refinishing the dining room table to original spec.

Apparently my girl can give advice on this one.
By Will on Mar 9, 2010 | Reply
Yup, although Ontology has more to do with the study of existence and the properties of things that exist (I felt that “all of metaphysics” was just too broad a topic).
