  • Share Why You Take Part in #RPGaDAY

    Final day of RPGaDAY 2018, and I hope you’ve found my posts useful and/or entertaining. I enjoy taking part in these every year, even if I haven’t quite mastered the “aDAY” portion of the event. Sometimes the questions posed are things I’ve never given much thought to, or they help me look at my hobby…

  • Share something you learned about, playing your character #RPGaDay

    Over the years I think the main thing I learned about while playing myriad characters, was how to share. I know when I started playing I was all about the cool things that I could do, the sweet treasure I could get. I think that’s normal, especially if you start playing when you’re a child/adolescent.…

  • #RPGaDay Fiver

    Obligatory apology for missing some days. Let’s begin! Name a game that had an impact on you in the last year. I actually acquired a copy of this game very recently. While I was unable to attend Gen Con this year my buddy Dave was there and snagged me a copy of Crossroads Carnival: One…

  • Which RPG Do You Think Deserves Greater Recognition? #RPGaDay

    What’s this? Two daily RPGaDay posts in a row!? What crazy dreamworld is this!? Yes, but first you have to read through my shameless plug. It’s that time of year again, nerd folk, when I begin my run up to Extra Life. If you’re unfamiliar with Extra Life you can follow the handy link for…

  • 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…

  • 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…
