Classic Campaign
Talking about a classic campaign for RPG a Day 2024 is pretty hard – not that I haven’t played any of them, I have barely seen any. Once I flipped through a fe Dragonlance adventures, and I’ve seen new The Enemy Within on a shelf for a minute. So I need to turn and talk…

Amazing Adventure
Day twenty of RPG a Day 2024 asks us about an amazing adventure. An amazing adventure is the one that sets itself up honestly, but still manages to surprise you.

A sensational session is a hard thing to accomplish. I think it always takes a little bit of a fortunate event to push it over the edge of greatness. In today’s post I’ll write about one of each – a sensational session I GMed, and one I played in. Mage: the Ascension – The Italian…

Evocative Environments
Once again we get a prompt opened to many interesting interpretations. What is an evocative environment? A place where we choose to game? Is it a location within a game itself? Or maybe the totality of the world our character inhabit? I decided to focus on the settings that shaped my gaming life. Epitome Settings…

Either we are talking about games that support campaign play really well, or we are talking about games with well made published campaigns. So let’s tackle both!
