Day 23 Main Prompt: Peerless Player

I’m going to give a shout out to a player that will remain nameless but he was in the play test campaign for Joe Salvador’s Reaver Sword & Sorcery RPG which goes on Kickstarter next month, you can sign up to be notified when it launches here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ravengodgames/reaver-sword-and-sorcery-role-playing-game

Anyhow this player plays Lazlo, a warrior in Reaver, but has played with us in a number of other games as well and is the epitome of a great player. He takes time to learn the rules, is respectful of the other players, and works to get inside his character’s head. He also skirts the line between player his character honestly and “but that is what my character would do!” He is always welcome at my table and I truly look forward to every game I get to play alongside him. This one’s to you nameless Reaver playtester!

Day 23 Alternate Prompt: Ritual and my d10 roll is a 8, Present an Idea for a Random Encounter

1987’s House II: The Second Story doesn’t get the love it deserves. While the first movie with William Katt is a horror-comedy the sequel is definitely a comedy-action film. Just take the sequence with John Ratzenberger (Cliff from Cheers) as Bill Towner, the electrician they call to help with a wiring problem, and adapt it. I don’t want to ruin the sequence if you haven’t seen the movie but it is easily adaptable to just about any game. If you haven’t seen the film what are you waiting for? By the way you don’t have to watch them in order.

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.
