Saturday is here, and so is another post for RPG a Day, day 23 this time, the prompt Recent. What recent games have I purchased? I have probably bought fewer RPGs in 2025,...
As I was preparing to write today’s post for RPG a Day 2025, a friend shared with me a video by a pair of Puerto Rican reactionary intolerant grognards, repeating tired clichés, “this...
Sunday funday! Today’s prompt is Renew, and I’ve been thinking about how to approach the topic. Renew is a verb that means to resume (an activity) after an interruption. I have historically run...
As far as RPG a Day 2025 goes, this has been a very musical year for me. So many prompts immediately make me think of music. The prompt for today is Darkness, and...
