For some reason, July was a huge month for the site despite the lack of updates, with
1217 views for the month that honors Julius Caesar, straight-up demolishing the previous monthly record of 818 (set this past April). If you're curious-- though I know no one is-- the months intervening between my last monthly update and now (that is, May and June) had a bit over 600 views each, which at one time would've been huge, but compared to the expectations set in March and April, were kinda lackluster. (I'd thought perhaps interest was waning in my character generator, or even that interest might be waning in
Numenera more broadly. I guess not haha; maybe
the announcement of a new Numenera source book and novel has rekindled interest?)
As one might expect, a bit more than half the
Troy Stories traffic in the month of July was to the
Numenera 2 character creator. Another 20% or so of the traffic went to the generic
Cypher System character creator. Another ~2% of the hit parade marched on over to the relatively new
Numenera 2 Character Sheet index, and about the same number of hits to the
Scrabble Two-Letter Word List. Other hits were scattered around the site here and there, with little apparent rhyme or reason. (Must have had a ton of hits on the front page; visits to the site's main front page count toward overall stats but doesn't have its own individual views stat that I can find.)
One announcement: though I have not had time for blogging lately, I did manage to get a story finished in time to meet the deadline for the
Vintage Worlds 2 call for submissions. I sent in an 11,000 word novelette, the longest I have ever submitted to one of these contests. I don't yet know if it will be selected, but I feel pretty good about it.
That's all for now...
