I started this blog 6 years ago. Here was the last retrospective. It contains the origin story and some badly-aged advice.
In the time since then, A Knight at the Opera has slowed down pretty significantly. Its best days are likely behind it. On average, I get a fraction of the views now compared to just two or three years ago. My own habits have gotten worse. I post less frequently. My drafts folder has grown to around 60 unfinished posts at any given time. I don't cut my post's length down nearly as much as I used to (although I also usually don't allow the first draft to get nearly so long to begin with. The average length of my posts has actually decreased over the years, believe it or not).
All the same, RPG blogging kind of took over my life, and it's brought me so many good things. I'm going to take a moment to talk about that, and a few other things.
