Coming up for air amidst all the zombies

I just spent the past several hours rounding out the Arcanawiki page on Zombies and various sub pages of zombie categories, types, and tropes, along with inspiration, ideas, and GMing advice on how to utilize them. If I never get bit by another zombie, it'll be too soon.


Update: That made me curious how many pages I'd made over at Arcana Wiki. I know my productivity has been up, and I've been writing a lot lately, but it's meant less here (and at my other blog).

Now, admittedly, a number of those (especially ones from mid-march) are basically mirrors of pages at the TV Tropes Wiki (but even those involved coming up with a bunch of ideas on how to use them in an RPG), or redirect pages (especially near the top of the list). Just the same, I'm kinda pleased with myself. That list doesn't include any of my many edits and revisions, just new pages I made.
