#RPGaDay2026 Day 5: "Burden" In @danielblandyrpgs.blusky.social's Eco-Mofos!! and Islands of Weirdhope, when you "Pick your punk", roll d6 for a Burden. These are emotional debts which take up Inventory slots. You risk gaining additional burdens whenever you attempt to use certain abilities.

Well, 7 - 10 August is shaping up to be a four prompt run for the next #RPGaDay2026 I'm not certain whether many are reading (my blog's backend suggests very little interaction, but I could be reading it wrong). So, I'll throw it out there that after The Feed, our next stop is the future!

Yesterday’s post left me with three Resources that felt as though they belonged together: Charm, Reach, and Burden. What if those Resources belonged to a group of future influencers, hungry for both mystery and attention? #SanctionRPG #RPGaDay2026 #TheFeed www.boreders.com/2026/08/rpga...

#RPGaDAY: Day 5 – Burden (Intellect; Woe; Vagabonds of Dyfed)

The fifth day of #RPGaDay2026 gives us the prompt Burden. This response remains under the influence of the weekly filter of Intellect. The daily filter sticking its nose in on this Wednesday is Woe. As none of my dogs are named woe or any of the other filters for the week, you will sadly be deprived of a dog picture... until next week. Several of my dogs do participate in my RPG activities, so their inclusion in this event is not a complete surprise. Anyway, none of them are going to show up today, so let's get on with today's response.

Day 4: Charm The most charming GMs I know share one trait. It’s not that they’re the best storyteller, top improviser, or most confident. It’s simply that they’re genuinely excited to be there. They love the game, love seeing players surprise them, and that enthusiasm is contagious. #RPGaDAY2026

In 2020 I did the whole month of RPGaDAY playing through a Ghostbusters call to a very strange location. This year I was very pleased to find a blog called Decidedly Six-Sided which is sharing character ideas for Ghostbusters for #RPGaDAY2026 decidedly6-sided.blogspot.com/2026/08/rpga...

It definitely feels like blogs are coming back, which would be nice. I found this post by a fellow blogger from days gone by which hits on some excellent games and the relationships that matter so much in a campaign game - this time for Stature. blackcampbell.com/2026/08/02/r...

RPGaDay 2026, Day 2: Stature

The American Heritage Dictionary defines stature /stăch′ər/ as noun meaning 1. The natural height of a human or animal in an upright position, 2. An achieved level; status, 3. The natural…

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...

#RPGaDAY: Day 4 – Charm (Intellect; Grace; Vagabonds of Dyfed)

The fourth day of #RPGaDay2026 gives us the prompt Charm. This week's responses are all under the influence of the weekly filter of Intellect. The daily filter sticking its nose in on this Tuesday is Grace. I will endeavor not to turn this post into one about our Doberman Pinscher rescue of the same name, but there will probably be a picture. No apologies. She embodies her name, is incredibly charismatic, and is one of the smartest dogs I know. Ok. There will definitely be.... there already is a picture.

If I have the energy and focus, I think I might have half a dozen sketched out #SanctionRPG Genre Setups during #RPGaDay2026 with a scattering of shorter posts. I think I would be open to other people developing these ideas, if they want to reach out to me. I will never have the time. 1/2

Day 2: Stature, as in elevated status and perceived success. As you progress thru cases in The Occult Detective Roleplaying Game one’s stature is raised in the occult community, attracting the notice of potential allies… but also of antagonists. #rpgaday2026

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 2 of #RPGaDay2026 is on Stargazer's World! Today's prompt: "Stature". Meet Nathaniel Morrow, a daring aviator who survives a disastrous experimental flight and discovers a lost world. Drop this NPC into your pulp games! ​https://stargazersworld.com/2026/08/02/rpg-a-day-2026-day-2-stature/

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...

There are many things I enjoy about #RPGaDAY2026 but high on the list is sharing cool responses by others~

Day 1 of #RPGaDay: Discipline. One of the best games I've written - and one of the most overlooked - is Disciplinary, in which you play a 1950s disciplinary committee reviewing a decision to dismiss a (probably) queer employee. www.goldencobra.org/submissions2...

Preparing for what is to come with an explanation of... well... what is to come. For me, #RPGaDay2026 will be a celebration of all things Sanction, with the bonus that you will be able to pick up the Sanction hardcover at a discount from @allrolledup.bsky.social from this weekend 😱

#RPGaDAY: Day 1 – Discipline (Drive; Hard Work; Rivers of London)

Here we go with my first response for #RPGaDay2026 where we will take a look at a character I enjoyed playing in the Rivers of London RPG by Chaosium. Our prompt for today is Discipline. The weekly filter is Drive, and the daily filter is Hard Working. It was this specific combination of traits which brought PC Everett Balcom to mind again, and it is the nuance in BRP which makes these special traits something to actively play with, work toward or against, and have matter.
