RPG With Well Supported One-Shots
This is an interesting one that potentially opens the question what is a one-shot? Grim Tokens already posted the daily article and looks into the definition of a one-shot. My reply is going to consider the games that fit within a few criteria. First, I’m considering only those games that are explicitly not about a…

RPG You’d Like To See On TV
Most of my life I wanted good fantasy on TV. But as I grew older I started accepting that while I had the desire, my expectations would ever be met. In my brain fantasy and live action hardly ever click nicely. Even the greatest achievements like the Lord of the Rings adaptation is a bit…

An Accessory You’d Like To See
My tabletop gaming preferences are strongly tied to the table. Playing a session is my time to hang with friends, doing a nice social activity. It is equally about the game, as it is about the chit chat that is interwoven with it. In turn, when I think about RPGs I tend to think about…

An Accessory You Appreciate
There is no second choice – my top pick for a gaming accessory is my All Rolled Up – a game roll that can truly pack an impressive amount of stuff inside. More dice than you would think, a bunch of pencils, and a bigger pocket for some (index) cards. It was essentially my go…

RPG With “Good Form”
Laugh as much as you choose, but you will not laugh me out of my opinion that Good Society is the only correct answer to this prompt. Until tomorrow. After getting the stupid joke out of my system, my second thought on the prompt went to a really old quote by Tim O’Reilly, founder of…

RPG That Is Easy To Use
I thought today’s easy to use RPG prompt would be a breeze to type up. I had a draft in the bag, and then I started thinking about it and went completely sideways. In stead of focusing on the rules, rule book organisation, or how a game behaves in actual play; I’d like to look…

RPG With Great Writing
One more prompt that will bring regret as soon as I hit publish. There are so many well written games it is impossible to do them justice. Not only games, but authors whose work is always on point and it is hard to single out a book from their opus. Wraith: the Oblivion A local,…

RPG With Great Art
This must be one of the hardest prompts for me, as art in a RPG is almost as important to me as the game itself. A good cover opens the word inside the book, it entices like a siren song. And the interior art then builds upon that feeling, drawing you inside the world, creating…

Most Often Played RPG
Recent is theme of the first couple of posts, so I’ll take a look at the games I played in 2024. Fortunately for me I put everything into my calendar so this one was easy to check. I was a bit surprised by the results, my memory was playing temporal tricks on me. There was…

Most Recently Played
This is a really easy one to pin down, but there is a bit of backstory to the one-shot itself. The TL;DR reply is – I ran a rerun of a Mage: the Ascension 20th Anniversary Edition one shot called The Italian Pavilion. But there is far more to the story than that. This post’s…
