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:...
The 7th day of #RPGaDay2017 is here, we’ve finished the first week. Thanks for coming back every day to read these posts, and to those of you who have watched our videos at...
If you haven’t been living under a rock, you probably have heard about Stranger Things, a Netflix series, which came basically out of nowhere, but thrilled its audiences. It’s also the only TV...

Yesterday I ran Shadowrun Anarchy for my friends. Six of my “Stargazer’s Irregulars” showed up at 2 pm and after chatting, making jokes, and putting way too much snacks on the table we...
Shadowrun: Anarchy is the game I have been waiting for since I first played Shadowrun 1st Edition back in the 1990s. Anarchy is an alternate ruleset for 5th Edition Shadowrun which allows a...
First things first: XXVc is not necessarily a broken system. I am sure there are GMs and players who are perfectly fine with the system. But for me and my group it doesn’t...
Even though Traveller is almost as old as D&D it never had something similar as the Old School Revolution/Revival community. I guess one of the reason is that even today the original editions...
Before I even knew that pen & paper RPGs existed I was a fan of computer RPGs like SSI’s Gold Box Series. My two favorite games from that series were actually the games...
Greetings dear readers! Michael recently wrote about our efforts to revitalize the blog, and I think we’re off to a good start. He invited our readers to discuss the types of posts and...
I am a terribly lazy GM. If possible I try not to do any prep at all and usually rely on my improvisational skills to run my games. But this had led to...
