Greetings from Boccob!
I have wanted to sit down and write a blog for some time now, but my duties as the supreme deity of magic were not especially conducive to such frivolities. Recent changes in the cosmological plan, namely Ioun being chosen as the goddess of magic, have freed me up a bit. (For those of you a bit tardy to the party: I was the chief god of magic in the Greyhawk game setting from 1983 until 2008. I was asked to retire prior to the release of 4th edition. You would think with limitless access to every divination spell, and an intelligence score over 50, that I would have seen that coming.)
Though I do miss my old job, retirement suits me. I have plenty of time to practice the arts, take long walks (though I do tire of people on the streets confusing me with Elminster and asking me for my autograph), and this Wednesday I am going to try something called Zumba, it should be interesting.
Boccob’s Blessed Blog is dedicated to all things related to gaming and gamer culture. While this site will emphasize Dungeons & Dragons (especially 3.5e), gamers of all systems will find useful, and sometimes entertaining information. There will be content for World of Darkness, Star Wars, GURPS, Shadowrun, Pathfinder, and Savage Worlds, just to name a few. For the most part, I will leave the articles and daily maintenance of the blog to my minions, but I will drop in from time to time.
Therefore, I hope you will subscribe, and if you like what you see, tell a friend.

Greetings oh powerful Boccob!
I look forward to your magical teachings and insightful stories. As a newcomer to the D&D gaming world, I know I will benefit tremendously from the guidance and wisdom that only the (retired) supreme deity of magic can offer.

Your groveling pleases the great Boccob. He asked me to tell you that after the day he met Lady Gaga in a wig shop in Harlem, this is the greatest day of his life. To show his thanks, Boccob grants you this gift.

Thank you Boccob. The plus 5 to my sexterity negates my -4 and gives me a whopping 1 point. Look out ladies.

Boccob says once you can cast charm person, you can stop worrying about your score.
