Laid Out on the Page – #RPGaDay 2017, Day 23
August is RPGaDay month. Yep, a month solid of RPG-related posts, answering these questions: Today’s question is this: Which RPG has the most jaw-dropping layout? I’m going to make a bit of a departure here, and interpret jaw-dropping both in a positive and in a negative way. I’m doing that because, as I said earlier in this series of posts, the bar has really been raised in a lot of ways in the RPG publishing world. Good and even excellent layout ends up being kind of invisible: you only notice layout when it’s incredible—at which point it can become a …
Taken As Written (RPGaDay 2017, Day 16)
August is RPGaDay month. Yep, a month solid of RPG-related posts, answering these questions: Today’s question is this: Which RPG do you enjoy using as is? I touched on this a bit yesterday: it’s not so much for me that there’s any game I would necessarily want to use as-is, so much as that I find there are different degrees of freedom to adapt games to different kinds of play… or that different rulesets are more or less intertwined with settings, since a big part of what I like to do in homebrewing is adding setting material that takes on …

It bet those who’ve read previous posts in this series know at least some of the answers I’m going to offer. Oh, and one or two of these images might be NSFW, I suppose. Here’s my picks, with some mini-galleries to show off the best examples. Oh, and this page will probably be a little slow to load. Lots of images, and I think the gallery plugin is preloading the bigger size for when …
Gaming Miniseries (#RPGaDay 2017, Day 9)
August is RPGaDay month. Yep, a month solid of RPG-related posts, answering these questions: Today’s question is this: What is a good RPG to play for about 10 sessions? Funny fact: I’ve never actually played any RPG for only ten sessions. Or, wait, no, that’s not true: I’ve played a couple, I’ve just never run them that way. The thing about running an RPG in that way—as a sort of miniseries run, or a short term or “single season” campaign, as some are calling it now—is that it requires a couple of things:
