Beginning to Migrate (some) Content to the NEW Doug Alone

  Beginning to Migrate (some) Content to the NEW Doug Alone I have had the idea since early on in this blog to possibly move it from this sort of hosted/third-party set-up to something more owned by me. This past week, I started to make this a reality: https://www.dougalone.com There are a lot of reasons behind this but let us start with caveat. I have exactly one real complaint about Blogger/Blogger and otherwise most of the decisions are about my creative process itself.  The One Real Complaint The newer Blogger themes tend to be plenty responsive as they are but there is still some degree of back-end handling that tries to serve up a "mobile-friendly" version of the page [note, this is based on looking into the errors and messages sent, I could be wrong].

At that time, a dozen or more quests in, I put it aside and said I would come back to it if any more DLC got released and that did not happen. I am honestly not sure if it will ever happen, and that's a shame. Books 4 [new rules] and 6 [realm building] would both go a long, long way to helping people to have a longer, more enjoyable experience. With that being said, I think it is a good to maybe come back to it and a bit and just play it out more Doug-style. Use the Computer Companion for the first couple of quests to help me relearn the system and g...
