Creative Reckoning Celebrates 10th Anniversary

In March 2014, I started Creative Reckoning as a blog centered on Fudge, one of the most innovative role-playing games ever created. Ten years earlier, I had started Fudgery.net and its accompanying blog, Fudgerylog, for the same purpose. Fudgery.net, had it continued, would be celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. The majority of its Fudge-related content lives on in Creative Reckoning, so it's a dual anniversary of sorts.

Ten years ago, I expressed my wish "to see a rebirth of Fudge-related Web logs." It has not happened (yet), but I would like to repeat that wish. Play and write about Fudge. Spread the news via blogs, vlogs, podcasts, and 'zines. Keep on Fudging.

Minus

Apparently, the most popular pages of Creative Reckoning are, in descending order:

  1. List of Attributes by Game
  2. Fudge 1995 Edition (rendered in HTML and hyperlinked by me)
  3. Alternate Rules
  4. What Is Fudge?

The reason I was curious about the numbers is that I was thinking about "correcting" a minor typographical error for #2 on the list (substituting a proper minus sign wherever a hyphen appears in its place) and I wanted to ascertain whether it was worth the effort as it is a laborious process. On the one hand, it is the second most popular page on the site; on the other hand, no one has ever commented about it (or much of anything else here), which leads me to question whether the views are accurate. If I bother to make the changes, would anyone notice? Would anyone care? Probably not. But I am a perfectionist, and I might do it just to alleviate the annoyance it causes me. Of course, if I correct the issue on that page, I'll feel compelled to correct it throughout the site (and all my other sites). 'Tis a fool's errand.

Conclusion? None at this time.
