@Wyatt: Hehe. Explicitly defining your content is not a bad idea, but I’d just rather let common sense dictate. I mean, if I’m blogging I want people to read the damn thing! And I hate binding myself to anything contractual (given my previous experience with contracts: enlistment, mortgages, car loans, co-signing).

@Mike: No problem! I find that categories/tags are useful if I, as a reader, want to find similar content. For instance, if I wanted to look at every post you had about monster optimization, I could just click on that tag and viola! As opposed to looking through all the archives.

Keep posting good stuff guys!

Thank you very much for the kind words!

I’ve never really understood the use of categories and I don’t post so much or so often, so I just stick them all together. I’m just not much into categories but I’ll give them another look.

Thank you again!

Thanks for the inclusion Madbrew. I always thought that people should know explicitly whether content on the internet can be used or not, and how, as well as believing that if it’s public content on the internet, people should be able to reference it and share it with others. There’s nothing technologically preventing anyone from downloading any page of my blog, so I thought there shouldn’t be anything morally impeding them either. That’s why I chose BY-NC-ND. It lets me keep a lot of ownership of my content but allows anyone to do what the internet does: downloading and passing things along.

@Jeff: I find that there is a lot of material that could be applied to other editions and even other systems. Good content transcends those boundaries.

@Wimwick: No problem. I enjoy shining the spotlight on people that deserve it.

@Ben: Today was the first time I’ve visited your site, but I definitely think it has a lot going for it. I really dig the design and what I am assuming to the seasonal banner (I also going to say that it was an excellent use of the Photoshop leaf brush!). The photography (I’m jealous of the Dwarven Forge stuff) and videos are great. Happy gaming to you sir, (especially since you have a 24/7/365 gaming store there!).

@Greywulf & Lazaro: No doubt about it, they’re all fine blogs.

I’m a fan of all of these guys; at some point I think I’ve borrowed ideas for my D&D games from every one. Good list and good gaming.

Excellent list of blogs – very well respected authors. That couldn’t have been easy to narrow the list down to just five. We’re not quite there yet but maybe someday BensRPGPile.com will get a nod: http://bensrpgpile.com/. Best wishes and happy gaming – Ben.

MadBrew, Thanks for the shout out! It’s really great to see Dungeon’s Master selected as one of your top 5 4e blogs and from the caliber of the other 4 selections I can see we are in good company.

You know, I don’t really do DnD 4.0 and yet I still read most of these sites. IMHO they are just that good.
