It’s been a crazy year for me and Raging Swan Press. I’ve posted well over 200 times to the blog in the last year. Some of my posts have been crazy popular, others less so. Some have even attracted controversy (I’m looking at you, Why I Hate 0-Level Spells and How I Fixed Them).

In any event, enjoy the best and worst of 2015!

One thought on “My Top Posts of 2015”

  1. in the “bottom 10” list, every entry is from 2014.

    in the “top 10” list, six entries are from 2015.

    given that people have a lot longer to check out articles that have been around awhile, kudos to your article on “zero-level spells” which is the most recent article to make it into the top 10 — and which came out in May of this year.

    number 3, “10 Dungeon Delving Tips for Beginners,” is among my favorites.
