Starting tomorrow, October 1, I will
begin the 30 Day Vampire the Masquerade Challenge; each day I will update this
blog with a new article from a predetermined list of topics. Readers of other blogs will be familiar with
this challenge from the Dungeons & Dragons 30 Day Challenge and similar
challenges. The goal is to offer 30 days
of content for my readers, and given the content of the list, I hope that you
will learn a few things about me as a person and role player. The other reason that I am attempting this
challenge is because I want to improve my writing and the only way to do that
is by writing more. This challenge
forces me to write every day. The
challenge that I am using was developed by Todd Rokely for his blog ChimericalRealm. You should check out his
blog! It’s really great.
Here is the list of the 30 topics
for the challenge:

Day 3-Favorite Non-Camarilla Clan

I know that many of you are looking
forward to the last three clanbook reviews:
Nosferatu, Giovanni, and Lasombra.
I will be working on the Nosferatu review, but I currently do not own
the Giovanni or Lasombra clanbooks, and as you all know, I don’t pirate books
to review them here. But if anyone is
feeling generous, you can donate a book by clicking on the Amazon Wish List
button on the right of the page. My plan
is to review all 13 original clanbooks and then rank them from worst to best as
soon as I’ve reviewed all of them. I
will also write a review of the clanbook series, not only because I enjoy
writing about the clanbooks but I also hope that White Wolf/Onyx Path
Publishing will read my article and listen to my suggestions if and when they
produce more clanbooks.
Just because I am doing the 30 Day
Challenge does not mean that is the only articles that I will be providing over
the month of October. I plan to review
the TV series, Kindred the Embraced, because on October 22 a new version DVD
set will be released which will include a copy of the Book of Nod. You can expect that review before the release
date. I will also update the Player
& Storyteller Resources Section of my blog with more NPCs, more player aides,
and some helpful material for Werewolf the Apocalypse fans. So some days, there will be multiple articles, I hope.
Finally, I would like to thank all
of my readers for making September the most successful month so far! Keep reading and remember to share your
favorite articles on Facebook, Twitter, etc. & with your friends. You can follow me on Twitter by clicking the
follow button on the right.
Thanks
again, and hopefully, 30 Days from now, I will have written 30 articles.

Does it still count as a real challenge if you change the topics around?
I think it does! I'm not really too worried about the individual topics; instead, I am wondering if I can actually write for 30 days straight without missing a day. We'll see.
DeleteYeah, that's the trick. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
DeleteThanks! And good luck to you on finishing your challenge!
DeleteOOoh this sounds interesting. I wanna try this too. Can I?
ReplyDeleteGo ahead! Many of the VtM bloggers are trying this, and I certainly don't own it! Leave me a link to your blog, I'd love to see your posts!
