Which Game Do You Hope to Play Again? #RPGaDay

There a few campaigns I ran once upon a time that I would love to get back to. The one that stands out for me is a d20 Modern Urban Arcana campaign I ran for four friends, years ago. As I sometimes do with modern games, I set the campaign here in my current home…

From the Campaign: Emberhaunt

Here’s a little something I thought I’d share, that will make an appearance in one of my upcoming D&D sessions. I’ve been developing a haunted location in my game, and I wanted something a little special to spring on my players. Enter the emberhaunt. After I’ve had a chance to run it a few times I…

RPGaDay: Electric Boogaloo

Look, we’re all adults here. You know I’m bad at sticking to these post-a-day schedules, I know I’m bad at it. Let’s not dwell. Let’s just enjoy the post. What art inspires your game? When I got into the hobby in 1980, I was living in the northern town (now city) of Fort McMurray. The…

Describe the Best Compliment You’ve Received While Gaming #RPGaDay

If I had to pick a best compliment, it would be from Gen Con a few years back. I had a really good table of players, including a father and his son and daughter. As the game ended and I announced we were finished, the kids let out simultaneous disappointed groans. Then the father asked…

RPGaDay: Catching Up to the Ides

Yep, definitely a little behind on these. Let’s catch up, shall we? How has a game surprised you? This is tough to narrow down, because I read a lot of games and I’m constantly finding little surprises, good and bad. Star Trek Adventures, for instance, surprised me with how intuitively their game mechanics support the…

RPGaDay Catch-up: The Inevitable Sequel

I offer no excuses for getting behind on these, except that I am on holidays for the first time in a while and I have enjoyed catching up on my reading. If you can block out a day or two where you can just read, with breaks to eat and sleep, I highly recommend it.…

Big News and RPGaDay Catch-up

It’s almost become tradition at this point, I have to make a catch-up post for RPGaDay. Surprising no one. But first, some exciting news! The ENnie Awards were Friday night, and they announced the judges for 2019. I made it! I honestly thought it was a long shot, so thanks to everyone who voted for…

What Do You Look For in an RPG? (RPGaDay2018)

I am endlessly intrigued and fascinated by the variety of roleplaying games currently on the market, as well as all the systems that came before. So on the one hand I don’t really look for anything in an RPG, I just take them as they come and try to embrace what is unique about that…

What Do You Love About RPGs? (RPGaDay2018)

I’m taking part in RPGaDay 2018, so get ready for a plethora of posts all month long! I’ve talked in other posts about the many reasons I love RPGs. I mean, one rarely takes part in a hobby for thirty-nine years unless they really love it (and if you’ve been doing it that long and…
