December Blog Rankings

 Here's an updated listing of 240 old schoolish roleplaying blogs ranked by follower. The follower numbers are from 16 December 2010. You can find links to all of these blogs HERE. I'll post a December follower-gain hotness list (like this one) soon.

My usual blogometric caveats apply: (1) This list only has blogger.com blogs because follower numbers are not publicly available for WordPress blogs. (2) Yes, I know some blogs are missing. If your blog is not on the list and you want to be included next time, please send me the link. (Sorry, I cannot go back and update this post when I receive your new link.) (3) Blogroll aggregator sites were not included.

  2. Hey Professor - Sorry I missed you. I was able to squeeze you in pretty easily!

  3. THANKS for continuing to track this! Statistics are such fun!

  4. Love it! Inspires me to try harder. :)

  5. Good stuff, never heard of some of these. I should check them out when I have the chance.

  6. Woohoo, cracked the top 40! Of course, there are a lot of ties in there. :)

  7. Thank you from providing this service

    From your last rankings (26 Oct ??) ;
    I have acquired 17 new followers,
    I am PROUD of this fact, since my blog serves a very select niche . . .
    a CLASSIC RPG that simulates the Martian Tales of Edgar Rice Burroughs

    Dont worry, RPGs are not the primary source of my self esteem;
    I am an accomplished equestrian, skilled marksman and have a beautiful girlfriend.

    When I was younger, I was an avid full-contact martial artist. I had to quit, those kids are too fast – lost enough teeth. Thanks to the wonders of plastic surgery, I can now breathe thru my new nose.

  8. From your last rankings (26 Oct ??); I have acquired 17 new followers

    Tomorrow I will post the numbers of followers gained by all the blogs (1 Nov - 16 Dec), which I think is a more interesting number.

    Glad to hear your new nose is working out for ya!

  9. Thanks for taking the time to do this!

  10. Bummer. I guess The Dump Stat (http://thedumpstat.blogspot.com) is not old school enough (but I cover Classic Traveler now :( ). Got 10 followers though. So, I guess I would be somewhere around 111th as well.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I'd also like to be a statistic! Here's my blog: http://xyanthon.blogspot.com

    ReplyDelete
  12. I really raised since last time, but my gain was MUCH slower than last time around. Congrats to all those other guys who are so awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Still at 29. No higher, but then again, no lower either.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I think a lot of people check out "Playing D&D With Porn Stars" for the name alone, even though the content is largely porn free. As for the draw of the others, I don't know. A lot of them are repetitive.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Thanks again for updating the list.

    I'm up a few notches! Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year to all!

    Ciao!

  16. I made the top hundred. Huzzah!
    I'd like to thank the members of the committee...

    ReplyDelete
  17. You might want to add this one next time: The Doomed Wastelands
    http://doomedwasteland.blogspot.com/

    Not my blog, but I follow it cuz it's rad.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I guess The Dump Stat (http://thedumpstat.blogspot.com) is not old school enough

    Sorry, I just hadn't run across your blog before. I will include The Dump Stat on future lists.

    You might want to add this one next time: The Doomed Wastelands

    It's already on the list! Number 93. Great tip though - I agree it's a cool blog!
