I’m constantly surprised in games by my player characters’ actions, so this is tough to single out one instance, but there is one time that a player shocked me enough that it stands out among the rest. We were playing Daring Entertainment’s War of the Dead campaign (though I rejigged it a bit) and the players had escaped a cruise ship of undead only to be standed [Read the article]
Apart from the actual game itself, what is involved in my ideal session? This has evolved over time and, although I have less time than ever, my expectations are higher than ever.
We have a wide range of options to devour books these days. While we used to be at the mercy of the publisher’s decision, thanks to Kickstarter, we now often have the choice of getting our gaming books in hardcover, softcover or digitally – or all three! So what’s your preference?
Undoubtedly, RPGs have given me greater confidence in everything. I was the typical geeky kid, bullied and pushed around until I found RPGs. Then, developing confidence through the games, I felt I could conquer everything and soon conquered my bullies and enjoyed a great childhood as a GM, running games for my friends, writing adventures and developing new RPGs. This completely changed my life and [Read the article]
This is another weird one as it doesn’t appear specific to my own gaming group, but any gaming group. I could google to find some neat examples, but I’ll focus on my own experiences.
Today’s RPGaDay question is a little tricky to answer clearly.
RPGaDay asks what was the most impressive thing another character did? I ran the first role-playing session for my nephew using Hero Kids. He was playing a ninja (custom-made for him) and I was running the first adventure. He faced a group of rats and managed to sneak past them, but then the next group noticed him, so he was stuck. Was this going to be [Read the article]
Today’s RPGaDay question is the character moment I was most proud of. This is tough one for me as I don’t tend to play as much as I GM. Most of the times I get to play are at conventions, which are not the best opportunities to truly develop a character. However, I would say that the one moment that stands out in my mind was [Read the article]
For today’s RPGaDay, the question is what was my favourite game session since August 2015? I had some great campaigns, but this is all about the single session. The one that comes to mind is the Call of Cthulhu adventure Dead Light, a survival horror adventure that is truly terrifying. I’ve run it for pretty much all of my gaming groups and, most recently, at a convention [Read the article]
Starting a little late, but let’s dive right in with this year’s #RPGaDAY series- real dice, dice app or diceless? I’d have to go with real dice, hands down. I’ve tried a few dice apps, and while they’re handy when I don’t have dice, or when using special dice (like Warhammer 3e or FFG’s Star Wars), it’s just not the same. The tactile sense of holding [Read the article]
