First three bags done of the new Lego set of The X-Files, while finishing off my latest rewatch of the series. Will probably wait until after the new cut if “I Want to Believe” before I go back to start the rewatch again. #thexfiles #lego

Day Five of #RPGaDAY2026 and I'm hoping that doing this challenge isn't too much of a BURDEN on everyone. I'm continuing to try and create NPCs for my game based on hastily drawn tarot cards. The Facebook page for #RPGaDAY seems really quiet... www.autocratik.com/2026/08/rpga...

Day Four of #RPGaDAY2026 and I'm continuing to create NPCs for my game based upon hastily drawn Tarot cards inspired by the prompt. Today's prompt is CHARM, which is quite apt for the game setting!! www.autocratik.com/2026/08/rpga...
Having Rascal in the TTRPG space is incredibly important, please give them whatever support you can.

Worth a mention that along with Sanction's hardcover, @allrolledup.bsky.social has discounts across the roleplaying section of their site for those hankering something new to add to their shelf. 13th Age, a|state, Alien, BRP, CoC, Mörk Borg, indie stuff... www.allrolledup.co.uk/product-cate...
Day Three of #RPGaDAY2026, and this one is all about POISE. I've tried to create another NPC for my game, based on a hastily drawn tarot card image for the prompt. www.autocratik.com/2026/08/rpga...

#RPGaDay day two - how long will my effort last? I have never created a character for #Dragonbane (Drakar Och Demoner) even though I have run it frequently on the Free League stand. The prompt today is Stature, so I will use one of teh extra playable Kin from the Bestiary (its that or Halfling) 1/?
Day Two of #RPGaDAY2026 and the prompt is STATURE. I've written a little about an NPC who is a little snooty based on my freehand tarot card art for the prompt. www.autocratik.com/2026/08/rpga...

I may regret this, I wasn’t going to do #RPGaDay this year, but @autocratik.bsky.social has inspired me with his first contribution. Can I create a character for a new (or new to me) game each day this month? The first attempt is #Invincible and today‘s prompt is Discipline! Oooh Mother! 1/?
Congrats and well done to Claudio Canellas Dias, Diana Grigorescu, and Siobhán Sheehy, and Tom Hutchings.

Day One of #RPGaDAY2026 and the prompt is DISCIPLINE. I'm trying to create a character a day, based on some freehand tarot card art I've done for each prompt. Hopefully by the end of the month I'll have 31 NPCs for the game I'm working on. www.autocratik.com/2026/08/rpga...

#RPGaDAY2026 Starts Tomorrow: My plan
August 1st is scheduled to arrive in a few hours and for the next 31 days, there is a lot of positivity and creativity ahead of us on the topic of roleplaying games. I hope you are looking forward to seeing and contributing to it as much as I am. Useful, actionable, relatable positivity is a choice it is often too easy to turn away from. To get the prompts or some direct and specific questions based on them, you can check this post. To watch the launch video with our explanation of the #RPGaDAY2026 event and some ideas for participating in it, you check out this link to YouTube. Now is the time to double-check that everything is in place for an enjoyable run through this month of celebration and sharing.

If you see me at GenCon it's actually an alien bounty-hunter. Its natural form looks a bit like Brian Thompson. The real me is thousands of miles away.
If you see me at GenCon, no, it's some other tall gamer with a goatee and glasses in a black t-shirt.
#RPGaDAY is kicking off once again on Saturday 1st August, and as opposed to me writing about it I thought I’d ask #RPGaDAY’s creator, David F Chapman, to write a guest post for Tabletop Sentinel about the month long event... So, over to David… you’re on! www.tabletopsentinel.com/news/hobby/r...

Speaking of #TTRPG creator credits, It's always been our practice to include creators' names on our covers. And did you know one of the authors receiving equal billing on this 1982 RuneQuest box—alongside such luminous names as Stafford, Perrin, & Petersen et al—'Hoffman', was a 12 year old kid?*
So here's our new newsletter, Hooks & Rumours. Basically the best of the Gazetteer & hopefully a load of stuff to interest, entertain and inform you This week you'll find links to everything from peasant metal to a haunted English county, crass & sublime art & Game Workshop's origin story. enjoy!

That's my evening's listening sorted! Can't wait. "Hey Danny, It's Mulder" is a brilliant podcast, really insightful into the creative process behind The X-Files, and he's interviewing Chris Carter!!! Amazing (and I'm so jealous).
For any X-Files fans, here's my interview with Chris Carter www.heydannyitsmulder.com/episodes/epi...
