First RPG Bought – RPGaDay 2023
The original question was: First RPG Bought (this year) And that’s a complicated old question, right? The key issue that spirals out of this one is that I have played none of these games yet. Not for want of trying, but it hasn’t happened. I like to pick up new games, especially those that skip…

First RPG Gamemaster – RPGaDay 2023
The original question was: First RPG Gamemaster Graham, a percussionist in the Beanfield Comprehensive School brass band, presented me with the chance to play a game of red box Basic D&D one lunchtime.

The question is: How has the character changed? This is the last of the questions that deal with characters, which is something that I don’t have being more GM than a player and currently not running any games.

How Does My Game Do What It Does – RPGaDay 2022
The question is: Why does your character do what they do? As mentioned in Monday’s post, I don’t have a current character. So, I intend to repurpose this week’s questions to be about a game project I have in playtest, Divided Horizons. So, the adjusted question is: How Does Your Game Do What It Does?…

So, I thought I would repurpose this week’s questions to be about a game project, Divided Horizons. So, the question is: Where Have You Run This Game? Conventions. The opportunity to run a…
