#RPGaDAY2026 Day 5: Burden, Intellect, Full of Woe - What burden is a character willing to carry until the end? Harika (fire genasi sorcerer/cleric) is the sole survivor of the island where she grew up, and refuses to let herself forget who she is despite hiding her identity for decades.

#RPGaDAY2026 Day 4: Charm, Intellect, Full of Grace - An enjoyable moment of charm gone right or wrong? In the Paranoia oneshot I ran for Origins, one of the NPCs has Charm. During one of my practice games, a player immediately shot her in the face when she used it. There were consequences.

I wonder if students today would be less likely to lean on AI for writing assignments if schools had made sure they could touch-type (at least 60wpm) before having them submit all their assignments online. 1/🧵

#RPGaDAY2026 Day 3: Poise, Intellect, Fair of Face - How does one character present themselves? Beywell Specksun (human wizard) is full of enthusiasm and a desire to learn more about the world, as she discovers that reality isn’t exactly the same as her books.

#RPGaDAY2026 Day 2: Stature, Drive, Blessed - What does one character’s stature in their community mean to them? Jarsali (my Shadar-Kai bard in a play-by-post game) wants to be seen as a valuable asset, and wants to be respected. Which is a bit difficult while she’s hiding something from her party.

I’m finally going back to Gen Con this year after a few years away! I’ll be spending my afternoons and evenings (plus Sunday morning) GMing for Lurking Fears, but I’ve still got some time to wander - any suggestions for people to chat with/booths to locate?

People should be able to tell the difference between "Good Books" and "Fun Reads". There are many books that are objectively NOT Good Books, but they're Fun Reads, and there are many books that are NOT Fun Reads, but are very Good Books They're not mutually exclusive, but they're different criteria

57 years ago today, queer people resisted a police raid at a gay bar in NYC. These activists bravely defended their right to exist in the face of government oppression, causing a major turning point for LGBTQ rights. We honor Stonewall's legacy as we continue the work for liberation.

The character who was on death saves survived! Playing low level wizards is not for the faint of heart.

This is totally a normal setup and definitely not me being paranoid about inviting bad luck onto my death save d20. (Dice blessing’s from @thegeekpreacher.bsky.social and timeout chair‘s a freebie from the @lorelink.com Origins booth, Lawful Good pin’s from Dbl Feature, healing potion was a gift.)

A 20-sided die rests upon a 3D printed Time Out chair. The visible faces of the die are two white skulls, two red hearts, and a golden potion. In front of the chair is a green Lawful Good pin, and a green mushroom is attached to the back of the chair with a wire.
There is a dice blessing to the right of the chair. Left of the chair is a glass bottle half filled with red resin, the other half filled with red 4-sided dice, that is labeled “Healing Potion For What Ails Ye” with a heart.
