Here we are. Last Day. Another month of RPGaDay posts has come to a close. But we’ve one last prompt to attend to. Why? Why do we do this, every day for a month? What makes us take part in this crazy thing? It is, at its core, a chance to express your love and…

#RPGaDAY2018: Day 30 — Share a thought about playing characters
Today’s prompt was to share something you learned about playing your character, but I don’t get to play rpgs very often. I’m a DM. I’ve been a DM almost exclusively for 40 years. I do however have some thoughts about playing characters and I thought that would be a good thing to share with you…
#RPGaDay2018: Day 29 — Share a friendship you have because of gaming
Share a friendship I have because of gaming? Well, the first three guys I thought of are the ones no longer with us: David Farr, Brent Smith, and John Hall. It’s hell losing friends, especially when they’re taken from you far too soon. Dave, of course, was just a kid, barely 17, while Brent was…

#RPGaDAY2018: Day 28 — Share whose gaming excellence you’re grateful for
Kind of an odd prompt today. “Share whose gaming excellence you’re grateful for.” Okay. A lot of different ways you can slice this one, so let’s hew this a little close to the bone. None of us would be involved in RPGaDay if not for David F. Chapman, aka Autocratik. Chapman is a writer, game…
#RPGaDAY2018: Day 27 — Share a great stream / actual play
Here we go. Five days left in this year’s RPGaDay Experience. This week is “share” week and the first prompt asks us to “share a great stream/actual play”. I suppose the majority of folks are going to mention Critical Role, which is the gold standard for actual plays. They are slick, professional, and entertaining as…

Detailing the Eldritch: THE ABYSS Part One of Three by Abraxas Silvermane with collaborations by his good friend Kosmo Ralpartha No one knows when, or how, but the chaos of the Abyss was there long before the gods, a great and endless hole from which the evil in the multiverse is thought to have been…

And so it comes to pass that we close out the last weekend of 2018’s RPGaDay. Only five days left. Today’s prompt asks what your gaming ambition is for the next year. I want a permanent club house for us to play in. I want to film our sessions for posterity. I want to launch…
