#RPGaDay2024 Day 23 – Ritual

Day 23 of #RPGaDay2024. I continue posting about the alternative prompt challenge list by Skala Wyzwania. For more information on RPG a Day, see David Chapman’s Autocratik blog post for 2024.

The RPG challenge theme for today is Ritual. Rolling a 1d10 for the quest. The result is 10: Draw! Oh no, I’m sorry.


The Broken Mirror

Gavinia the Mighty raised her staff above her. It cracked with power, focusing her might on the ritual. The soldiers of her beloved Prince Urthen stepped back in awe. They brought the Mirror of the Worlds Beyond after their prince fell in battle. She would not let his death be in vain. She unleashed the power, and the mirror cracked. The way to the halls of the Nocturnal Potentates would at last be within their reach. Captain Arago and his companions were ready to accompany her to face their world’s oppressors.

But the ritual backfired; the portal was not a door but a conduit. With the unrelenting pulse of energy the ritual had unleashed, the face of a great enemy could be seen…


I am no good at drawing, and that’s the result of what you see above—excuses, dear reader.

Welcome, reader; thanks for taking the time to discover who I am! My name is Roberto, although I usually go by Sunglar online. I am a longtime tabletop RPG player, primarily a GM for the better part of that time; some will say that’s because of my love of telling a good story, others because I’m a control freak, but that’s debatable. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, an island in the Caribbean with a small but active gaming community. I’ve played RPGs for almost 40 years, and for most of that time, I played D&D in all its permutations, including Pathfinder and D&D 5th edition. Other games our regular gaming group plays include Mutants & Masterminds, Castles & Crusades, Savage Worlds, Stars Without Number, Alien, and more. I have played many games through the years and plan to play many more. I am a compulsive homebrewer and rarely play a campaign I have not created myself. You can follow me on social media as Sunglar, and I’m regularly active on Facebook where you can find me posting regularly in the Puerto Rico Role Players group. I am looking forward to hearing from you!
