#RPGaDay 1/? For day 5, a simpler character creation process, with less to read. Indeed I wonder is there a fewer words in the whole book than there were in the Assignments chapter of the Laundry. The book in question is Ronin, a #Borgian RPG from @slightlyrecklessgames.com This should be (more) fun
#RPGaDay 1/? Day four and back to proper unplayed game character creation. It's taken me this long to have these two thoughts: Do I actually have 30 unplayed TTRPGs in my house? And, if I do, should I be sorting my life out? This time though, we are looking at The Laundry from Cubicle Seven
NO! I am not posting any unplayed game character creation for #RPGaDay today. It ids after all about encouraging us to all to post a bit about TTRPG ever day, and today our retested episode whet live. Kevin Hassall's The Blood Tree KS is .... um "POISED" to go live... share.transistor.fm/s/18dea82e

Nice to see #TalesoftheOldWest get an #RpgaDay mention!
jwmuk ➡️ Owlbear 4-6 Sep@jwmuk.bsky.social · 3d agoMy take on #RPGaDay2026, a day late to post on Bluesky, but I'll put the rest here, however far I get. DAY 01 DISCIPLINE buttondown.com/theraspyrave... Thanks @runeslinger.bsky.social @autocratik.bsky.social #RPGaDAY #TTRPG
#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/?
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/?
In the latest (slightly truncated due to a recording mishap - can you see the join?) episode we talk about @garblag.bsky.social’s Heroic Deeds, @limithron.bsky.social’s maps and @shannagermain.bsky.social’s Between Earth and Sky, as well as setting yourself up as a PDF publisher…

Solo gamers! What are the situations where you want a simple yes/no (or yes/yes and/no but/no) oracle mechanic rather than a character skill roll?
It would be a game of dark brooding self loathing and loneliness, of loss of innocence and of mid-life crisis. It was be based off the novels alone, not the comics or any TV adaptations. It would be The Moomin family novels.

The first question that needs to be answered is, is it actually at risk? Then, if its potential to be a museum is to be explored, is it being sold with contents, and provenance linking said contents to Peter Firmin’s time there? (I think the V&A might now own a bunch of the Bagpuss stuff).
