  • RPGaDAY Thirteen and Fourteen

    Describe a game experience that changed how you play? What comes to mind is the first time I played the Call of Cthulhu RPG. Up to that point I had been playing Dungeons & Dragons, and other TSR games and their ilk. Games where we were very much the heroes, and as long as we…

  • RPGaDAY Twelve

    Which RPG has the most inspiring interior art? Not an RPG, but I have always found the old Dragon Magazine cover art to be inspiring, both as a young gamer seeing it as it was published, and now as a collector finding copies of the older magazines. And I enjoy it in a way I…

  • RPGaDAY Eleven

    Which ‘dead game’ would you like to see reborn? This was a harder question to answer than I thought, because so many of the games I used to play which are now out of print are either, a) coming back into print thanks to crowdfunding, or b) such a product of their time, I’m not…

  • RPGaDay Ten

    Where do you go for RPG reviews? I spend very little time hunting down reviews for role-playing games. Part of that is because I curate the feeds on things like Facebook and other social media to bring gamine news to me, so I rarely have to hunt. But if I’m honest, I’m not interested in…

  • RPGaDAY Nine

    What is a good RPG to play for about 10 sessions? Assuming we’re playing every week, 10 sessions works out to 2-1/2 months, which I would consider a short campaign. For short campaigns I tend to steer away from D&D or Pathfinder, and I look at some of my underplayed RPGs. Shadowrun or In Nomine…

  • RPGaDAY Day Eight

    What is a good RPG to play for sessions of 2hrs or less? If we’re talking a one-off, as opposed to a campaign, then I turn to my collection of Free RPG Day offerings. The vast majority come with quick-play rules and a short scenario, which makes them perfect for when you don’t have time…

  • RPGaDAY Five, Six, and Seven

    Sorry for the catch-up post, but a long-weekend of rest was too much to resist. Of course that just gave me time to think about gaming, so let’s knock these questions out so I can get back to it. Which RPG cover best captures the spirit of the game? So brand new that I haven’t…

  • RPGaDAY Day Four

    What RPG have you played the most since August 2016? Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition tops my play list over the last year, though if my regular weekly group hadn’t been plagued with attendance issues Pathfinder would have easily tied with it. But as I’ve mentioned a few times before, and posted here on the…

  • RPGaDAY Day Three

    How do you find out about new RPGs? Like most nerds in the current age, I spend a possibly unhealthy amount of time on the internet. I want to spend the maximum amount of time looking at cool stuff, so I subscribe to a number of game company newsletters so the new releases come to…

  • RPGaDAY One and Two

    And suddenly it was August! It has been a while, hasn’t it? My apologies, I was both ill and organizing a festival, and that ate my time like nobody’s business. But both those things are pretty much over, and August brings us to another year of #RPGaDAY. So you’re going to get sick of me…
