I decided to rename this blog while it is still fresh and relatively unknown. I reactivated my old domain rpg-index.com and renamed the blog from “The Unhappy Guy” to “The RPG Index”. My old RPG Index a few years back was a database of roleplaying games. I wish to bring it back with a fresh look, new content and more features in the next 12 months.

Until then, I will present you a compilation of the newest rpg products and related gaming news. I will get rid of the old programming posts here in the next few days and clean up the blog to better represent its new focus.

 So enjoy your visit and let the dice roll!
