Day 31; Share why you take part in RPG-A-Day In all honesty, I wouldn't have known this project existed if it wasn't for @grimjim who is also doing this and I happened to catch it across my feed a few

I like the opportunity to shill my stuff. OK, not exactly. There's also the fact that it provides useful prompts for a month's worth of blog content. OK, not exactly that either. Rather, simply, just that

I'm usually the Games Master, but in playing characters of fundamentally different mindsets to my own I think I've learned – imperfectly but better than most – to understand (but not really empathise with)

Day 30; Share something you learned about playing your character. I tend to gravitate towards a few directions - bards and sorcerers of some kind, officially speaking, and the witch and alchemist homebrew

Day 29; Share a friendship you have made because of RPG's Most of the people I've played with that haven't been kicked out of or left/ghosted various games. Z00T is a great friend of mine now and of the

Pretty much all of them that mean a damn thing. Hey, thanks for stopping by. I'm an independent RPG (and other games) designer and author. You can check out my stuff via the links at the side of

Day 28; Share whose inspiring gaming excellence you're grateful for. Literally everyone I play D&D with. My players, the DM's, everyone. Many of them have taught me things about the game itself and

Satine Phoenix gets a ton of praise from all and sundry, to the point where a lot of people are probably sick of her. The praise is deserved. Satine is an indefatigable dervish of enthusiasm, love, creativity

And Hey, thanks for stopping by. I'm an independent RPG (and other games) designer and author. You can check out my stuff via the links at the side of postmortemstudios.wordpress.com. If you feel so inclined,

Day 26; Your gaming ambition for the next year I want to get paid to be a DM. roll20 allows for this, and paid games I see typically have DM's with 1000+ hours of experience with the site being the ones

Day 25; Name a game that had an impact on you in the last year. The obvious choice is just overall D&D 5th Edition, but honestly it's just.....the games. My Monday, Wednesday and Friday night games

I need to play more games. It's an old song at this point, but people who get into games as designers and writers often find that they no longer play the very thing they devote themselves to. This fact

We've been playing Eclipse Phase – a game I actually get to play when I'm not Games Mastering Iron Kingdoms. I generally don't enjoy playing as much as Games Mastering, but I have enjoyed this game a great

Day 24; Which RPG do you think deserves greater recognition? Two games, actually; I didn't even realize there was a Dragon Age tabletop RPG until I was looking into other things related to the series and

Well obviously all the ones that I have written or worked on, clearly. I'm a friggin' game design genius! He said, tongue firmly planted in cheek. Most of the games that I think deserve recognition already

Day 23; Which game to you hope to play again? Considering that right now as far as tabletops go I only play D&D, I might do this differently to others because my first thought is to describe campaigns

As I have belaboured extensively, I'm usually the person who Games Masters, and that's where I'm most happy to be. If you include 'Games Master' as one of the players, then just looking at the games currently

Day 22; Which non-dice mechanic appeals to you? Character creation, outside of the obvious dice mechanic of rolling for stats. I recently joined a game on Thursdays and got to set up for one on Saturday

There's a poker-mechanic I began developing for a Japanese/Western game I stopped work on after Far West began being developed. Maybe I shouldn't have stopped, given that game is still nowhere to be seen.

Day 21; Which dice mechanic appeals to you? I don't think I could pick, honestly. I have physical dice for rolling as a DM and online stuff for rolling as a player, usually built into the roll20 system
