C’s final post was this past Thursday. She’ll be leaving us to focus more of her time on her RPG company. We will miss having her around here, but you can always hang with her on Twitter.
Hopping into the RPG Girl Thursday spot for 2012 is the amazing and talented L, who you may know from around the web, on Twitter as @lilyorit, as the assistant to our former RPG industry expert, JLB (Jennifer Brozek), or from her work editing various RPG books. We look forward to reading L’s posts!

Wow. I had no idea my guest post was that popular. You just made my day.
@Matt – It was in the Top 20 for the entire year, in fact.
The Great Dates series does particularly well in Google since folks are often looking for date ideas, tourist ideas, etc for a particular city.
