[...] I tend to avoid talking about my campaign, as I’m not much into writing about my campaign. (In fact, I find that doing post-game recaps to be something of a chore, and yet can’t hand it off since I want to make sure important information gets recorded.) Obviously, I learn a lot about running D&D by actually doing it which turns into articles about what I’ve learned, what annoys me, and what advice I can give.

The real missing part is that “nobody wants to hear about your character… if it’s not interesting.” Generally the people who want to tell you about their character aren’t interesting about anything else either, so it should be a more blanket rule.

Bat Loaf, however, is the opposite of not interesting.
