Sometimes thought and action are quick and decisive with me, while other times I just sit around indecisive. In this case, I'm being decisive. I had already created a new YouTube channel for my D&D discussions specifically, DarkFantasyGamerX. I decided to create a new blog, DarkFantasyX, and I'll amend my Dark Heritage 2 game to be called Dark Fantasy X. I was never super happy with the name Ad Astra for my space opera, because it was a little too obvious and too many other people had also just used the Latin phrase for various spacey related things, so maybe I'll call that Dark Space Opera X too. That blog will be devoted specifically to my gaming related discussion once I get it running with some actual content, in the next weeks. I've also created a new blog Archaeoeuropean, to talk about archaeology, history, genetics and linguistics of the Indo-European peoples. All of them will get fewer posts than Dark Heritage, but all of the blogs will be much more focused on a particular topic rather than bouncing around between topics that may or may not be related to each other at all.
I'll probably also migrate some of my older series of posts to the new blog, particularly with regards to Remixing/Revisiting posts. And because I'm renaming and possibly reformatting the documents, I'll probably go ahead and finally synchronize the rules systems for Ad Astra, Dark Fantasy X (formerly Dark Heritage 2) and Fantasy Hack. I'll also talk more in depth about why I made the decisions I made with regards to those design details.
I'll also go back and forth between YouTube videos (eventually; I may need to get more gear and stuff to make better YouTube videos than I do now) and blog posts in talking about my games and gaming projects. Don't expect this change to be immediate, but I doubt I'll spend much time getting this set up and ready to move.
What will I continue to do with this blog in the meantime? I'm not sure. Probably random and pop culture related posts will be here. Mostly, though, this blog will start getting quieter over time as more and more posts are relegated to the blogs to which they really should belong in a set up where I have a more focused family of blogs.
