Another Friday, another #RPGaDay2017 post. I was a little stumped for today’s topic, unsure whether I should be comical (Whiskey & cupcakes!), or serious (How about a gift card?). But talking with my...

This week of #RPGaDay2017is just flying by… Today’s question is about freebies: August 24: Share a Pay-What-You-Want publisher who should be charging more. This is a tricky subject. Pay-What-You-Want products are a wonderful...
Yesterday night I played the John Sinclair Abenteuerspiel for the first time. It’s a German roleplaying game based on the popular John Sinclair pulp horror novel series. In the game you play monster/ghost...
Hello readers! Thanks for dropping by on Sunday for the next question on #RPGaDay2017. Today it’s all about change, specifically a game experience that changed how I play. The question read as follows:...

Hello dear reader! This is a follow up to a previous post where I shared a Savage Worlds House Rules document I was working on. You can read the reasons why this came...
