In #RPGaDay2025 Day 4, I responded to "Message" by talking about how difficult it is to communicate long-distance without telephones. This is an update after a reader reminded me of semaphore and other signals at a distance.

#RPGaDay2025 Day 31: Reward
The true reward is the friends we made along the way. And the tales we get to share. Plus the loot our characters found. And the levels they gained. But mostly the friendship thing. And the stories.

#RPGaDay2025 Day 31 - Reward
I see talk about "GM Rewards" sometimes, with clubs or conventions seeking ways to incentivise GM attendance, but the truth is, I'd run games without the rewards. I do it because its the only way to be sure there are games I like available and over time, I've become better at being a GM than a PC. As long as it's not made harder to be a GM than a player, I'll show up and run games. #ttrpg -
I’ve been offline for most of August, but here’s my whirlwind tour of #RPGaDAY2025 prompts 11–30: flavour, path, mystery, darkness, destiny, suspense, and more. From Moldvay nostalgia to imposter syndrome, and why Dolmenwood feels fated.

#RPGaDay2025 Day 30 - Experience
I'm leaning more towards games without experience, or with standard level-up stages across the board for all characters; there's still something to be said for that feeling of getting a new advance in PbtA games, but for story games in general, the experience is the story. 1/2 #ttrpg -
#RPGaDay2025 DAY 28 SUSPENSE. As with so much in life, suspense in #TTRPG s is about delaying gratification, but not for so long that it becomes frustrating.

#RPGaDay2025 Day 29 - Connect
There's a good idea for a game campaign, a group of PCs travelling around, trying to connect small towns & villages to some new service, like water, telephone, rail travle. It'd make a nice over-arching theme for a Discworld campaign! Nice inspiration! #ttrpg -
#RPGaDay2025 Day 28 - Suspense
I'll share my thoughts on this tomorrow. #ttrpg -
Well, it's the end of the month for me, and RPG A Day 2025 is over. I've cranked out a ton of words on a pile of subjects and even a little fiction. Want all of it in one place? It's right here.

#RPGaDay2025 Day 25 - Challenge
The challenge, as always, is to spend more hours per year playing games than making or planning them.
One of these years, I'll do it. #ttrpg -
#TTRPG #RPGaDay2025 #experience
It's been a long month, but RPG A Day is over, at least for me. We end it with a philosophical consideration of multiple ways to approach experience and why.

#RPGaDay2025 Day 24: Reveal
Slowly reveal the big bad with rumors and conflicts with their minions. Minimize contact with the PCs to delay proactive actions like attacking the big bad as soon as they show up. Their gloating speeches can be done remotely.

#RPGaDay2025 Day 24 - Reveal
A little bit of theatre with index cards in games: use them to track threats by writing what the threat is and putting a countdown clock on it, but prepare your cards in advance, so when that threat counts down to zero, you just flip the card over to reveal the next layer of threat. It's like having a second stage of a boss fight! #ttrpg -
Another triptych of articles as I move toward DragonCon today. It's all about narrative theory and execution, whether it be regarding your nemesis, what the true purpose of tactics at the table is, and how to keep someone in suspense and why.

Day 23 of the #RPGaDAY2025 Challenge and I talk about a recent #anime #TTRPG one-shot that I had a chance to try out. #RPGaDAY

#RPGaDay2025 Day 23: Recent
Recent games: Our group is dipping our toes into Tachyon Squadron for Fate Core. We're taking a break from "Nostalgia Tour" - an Old School Essentials campaign that's all classic D&D/AD&D modules. What's next? Still in the idea stage.

#RPGaDay2025 Day 23 - Recent
How's this for recent: Overpowered, a post-apocalyptic game where small survivor communities are defended by superhumans, the only ones who can fight the kaijus which roam the Earth. It's so recent I haven't written a word of it yet, I only had the idea last night! #ttrpg -
#TTRPG #RPGaDay2025 #starforged #coriolis
By necessity, I have to pick up the pace. We'll fold three articles into one today, targeting recent acquisitions, a revelation of gifts, and exactly what is a challenge rank supposed to do?
