How Long Do My Games Last? – RPGaDay 2022
The question is: How long do your games last? One or two sessions; between two to five hours. For a decade, most of my games have been about that long. I have played a few long-term games and those have lasted anything between 3 months and a year; they were unusual. The majority (99 games…

Why Has My Favourite Game Stayed with Me? – RPGaDay 2022
The question is: Why Has My Favourite Game Stayed with Me? Aside from the theoretical (minimal) value of this out-of-print game, I find the Middle-Earth Role Playing game fascinating. The Rolemaster system, even simplified, was not the best fit for this license, but there’s something fascinating about the way each supplement contained so much potential.…

Where’s My Perfect Place to Roleplay? – RPGaDay 2022
The question is: Where’s My Favourite Place to Play? Hmm. Some of these questions are quite hard to answer, aren’t they? I guess my perfect place is at a convention, as it’s an opportunity to meet new people, play new games, and not feel that the outcome has to be perfect. It’s about fun and…

My Perfect Game – RPGaDay 2022
The question is: What would be your perfect game? Hmm. I think the perfect game is one with friends, online or around the table. It’s the game that everyone looks forward to and misses when it doesn’t happen. The game where memorable characters emerge and unforgetable moments are forged in the moment. It isn’t necessarily…

Gamemaster! I Choose You! – RPGaDay 2022
The question is: Who would you like to Gamemaster for you? Matt Mercer. I just want to see him GM “unplugged” and do so in a way that resonates with me. Critical Role has such a following, but after several attempts to get into it, I haven’t clicked. He’s clearly a performer and an individual…

6 Roleplaying Games You Should Try – RPGaDay 2022
The question was: Roll 1d8+1, and tag that many friends and suggest a new RPG to try. But, I hate being tagged or intrusively engaging people in social media activities, so instead: Suggest 1d8+1 RPGs to try, it is. I rolled a 5, so I will be suggesting 6 RPGs. I’m not saying that they’re…

How Would I Change My Introduction to Roleplaying – RPGaDay 2022
The question is: How Would I Change My Introduction to Roleplaying? I wouldn’t change a thing. We chose classes and created characters, then played the introductory adventure included in the boxed red booklets, launching an assault upon the ruined castle in search of the renegade magic-user Bargle and fighting a Carrion Crawler. If I could…

Why I Started Roleplaying – RPGaDay 2022
The question is: Why did you start RPGing? It’s been covered in the last few posts, but initially, I was just getting out of the rain and looking to spend that time inside doing something other than practising the trombone! I’ve always enjoyed reading fantasy and science fiction, making up stories and characters, and even…
