Day 26 Main Prompt: Superb Screen

Oft times the first is still the best and that is the case with the Judge’s Shield from Judges Guild. It was the first game master’s screen to hit the market and is still one of the best implementations of one. For reasons I won’t go into here Judges Guild products are now something you have to primarily get on the used market but I do believe it is important to give credit where credit is due and this product remains one of the best examples ever produced.

Day 26 Alternate Prompt: Tattoo and my d10 roll is a 4, invent an item

Of course this is a cursed tattoo gun. When used it opens up a connection between the person with the tattoo and a demonic dimension. The percentage of total body area covered by tattoos made with this gun is the percentage chance a demon can take control of the body of the person with the tattoo. They will remain conscious but will be helpless as their body is possessed and used by the demon for all sorts of unsavory activities.

That’s all for today, until tomorrow be excellent to each other!

August is #RPGaDay2024 and I am going to posting daily responses to the prompts. You can find more information about #RPGaDAY2024 here: https://www.autocratik.com/2024/07/announcing-rpgaday2024-for-august.html

There are two sets of prompts this year and since I have room to do so on the blog I will answer both. In episode S2E6 of my podcast titled RPGaDAY2024 Panel Discussion I assemble an esteemed panel and we go through the main prompts for the entire month’s so I will try to give different answers here on the blog but may end up repeating myself occasionally.  

On their podcast Mirke the Meek suggested using the alternate prompts to create a setting and that is a great idea so I’m going to steal that. The setting I am going to craft for this month will be a modern, conspiracy style setting. Nominally I think we’ll set it in the 1970’s to avoid the problems cell phones and the internet can cause if player characters have access to them.

Here are the main prompts:

And here are a set of alternative prompts suggested by Skala Wyzwania, look at the day on the left, pick the theme, then roll d10.
