234 Roleplaying Blogs Ranked by Follower

In response to requests I've received, here is an updated listing of 234 old schoolish roleplaying blogs ranked by follower. The follower numbers are from 1 November 2010. You can find links to all of these blogs HERE.

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 won't go back and update this post when I receive new links! (3) Blogroll aggregator sites were not included.

  1. Hmm..down from 29 to 33. That'll teach me to ask for tables by follower number!

    That having been said, lots of new blogs for me to investigate. I've also been having a look at my stat counter data and boy, is that interesting to view!

  2. #32, Eat it, Daddy...

    Actually, not bad for me since I haven't posted anything in over a month (just rectified that).

  3. #43 here and couldn't be more pleased to be in such good company. If I can just get three more followers so I have an even hundred... (hint to anyone interested in post-apocalyptic gonzo goodness!)

    Thanks for compiling this! Very interesting, and a great list of blogs to pursue!

  4. No "Your Dungeon Is Suck"?? :)

    Actually I'm just trying to speed up the eventual "treatment" of these blogometric posts by YDIS!

    Seriously though, thanks for pointing that out. It turns out this post is actually missing several blogs (especially WordPress) off of the RPG Blog List link page. It's a pain in the butt trying to keep these lists synchronized. I'll try to fix this post in the next few days.

    WordPress bloggers please accept my apologies in the mean time...

  5. There's lot of great stuff out there to read and plenty of creatively named blogs too. It occurred to me that there's not blog titled, Never Split The Party, yet.

  6. 204! I think I actually gained a couple followers from this post, so thanks Cyclopeatron!

  7. I would call your attention to one more great RPG'ing blog, "Back Screen Pass" (43 Followers):
    http://backscreenpass.blogspot.com/

    Great work here, thanks!

  8. Thanks for the shout out, Carter (back screen pass), as well as the link to this post: I had no idea my mutant future blog (Warning - Mutagenic Substance) was the #76 blog in the land. Guess I better get my posting in gear and get me some more followers!

    Thanks for the fun post and the great list of reading inspiration!

  9. Krikey! I'm near the top 50-ish?!
    I'm going to have to post stuff with actual relevance now. ;)

    Thanks for the publicity! I appreciate your work on this.

    Ciao!

  10. As a footnote (thanks for the shout-out), the visibility you get on Blogger is seemingly better than on wordpress.

    I've been at it for nearly 2 years on wordpress, and get about 500-700 viewers a day.

    And have 6 Subscribers.

    Six.

    Oi.
