I should warn people that is is about 4e primarily, though he also plays Pathfinder with mister Särkijärvi. Gastogh is a long-time friend of mine. There’s quite a few kilometers between us, so we rarely get to play together, but his commantary is amongs the most insightful I have read regarding 4e particularly. Besides, he is a good writer.
The first post is about the adventures of Korvakopla and is edited copy-pastings from a forum. URL: http://gastogh.wordpress.com/2009/02/25/the-chronicles-of-korvakopla-1/

I’ve been somewhat busy due to university and visiting my parents for (now third) consecutive weekend. I make no promises, but more posts are possible in the near future.
1. Reynard’s blog on Enworld has material on sandbox play and random encounters. Of especial notice is this post. Unfortunately the RSS feed does not seem to be working.
2. Jonathan‘s rpg blog anthology project. If the project works, more people will be able to read the ramblings of random rpg bloggers. If it does not, J will hopefully still list the nominated blog posts or some best-of summary, so it will still be a way to find good posts. Contributing takes little time and gives you an excuse to re-read a few good posts, if you are so inclined.
The following are links to my own projects. So, not much to see, unless you are especially interested in my projects. Both the wikis have an RSS feed available. There is a page about wikis, including a link to Abulafia, which you should use.
3. Wiki of persistent fantasy rpg / In a Wicked Age clone / my default no-prep game.
4. Wiki of the dungeoncrawling rpg I have GM’d a few session of, and have been developing during my free time. Rules update is the most relevant page there. In the unlikely case of some reader wanting to contribute, ask via email, blog or the option in the wiki.
A few links

Yax of Dungeonmastering provided a list of rpg links (including me; thanks!). Here are two good ones he missed and which are not in my blogroll:
First addition is the great NearbyGamers, where you can enter tags and it locates other nearby people who share tags with you. Also supports card and board games. Useful if you don’t live in Finland or some similar distant wasteland. If you do, marginally useful.
Second is Abulafia, a random generator wiki where you can add new generators and improve the existing ones. It has several name generators, plot generators, and more. An excellent resource and toy.
