#RPGaDay2018 – Share why you participate in RPG-A-DAY

August 31, 2018 Ken Newquist Games, Projects, Role-Playing Games, RPG-a-Day 2018

There were a couple of reasons. Re-establish a writing routine: New content’s been spotty on Nuketown for the last couple of months. A big reason for my participation was getting back into the groove of writing every day. I don’t know if I’ll[…]

August 30, 2018 Ken Newquist Games, Projects, Role-Playing Games, RPG-a-Day 2018

My gaming group, the Blackrazor Guild. Over the last 22 years we’ve fought demons, slain dragons, burned down a city (not on purpose), and accidentally let demons invade our hometown (also not on purpose). We’ve also gotten married and had[…]

#RPGaDay2018 – Share whose inspiring gaming excellence you are grateful for

August 28, 2018 Ken Newquist Games, Projects, Role-Playing Games, RPG-a-Day 2018

Mike Mearls. The D&D 5th Edition co-creator’s posts about lunchtime gaming inspired my own lunch-time campaign. His work on Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition is a big part of what brought my gaming group back to the venerable RPG. Ken Hite and[…]

#RPGaDay2018 – Share a great stream / actual play

August 27, 2018 Ken Newquist Games, Projects, Role-Playing Games, RPG-a-Day 2018

“Get the hell off my lawn and take your damn streaming video with you.” I muttered when I saw this topic in the #RPGaDay list. “If I had time to watch someone else play video games, don’t you think I’d[…]

#RPGaDay2018 – Your gaming ambitions for the next year

August 26, 2018 Ken Newquist Games, Projects, Role-Playing Games, RPG-a-Day 2018

My overarching ambition is to continue making time for games. It’s difficult, with the day job, marriage, one kid in high school, the other in middle school, the day job, and all of the activities that go along with them.[…]

#RPGaDay2018 – Name a game that had an impact on you in the last year

August 25, 2018 Ken Newquist Games, Projects, Role-Playing Games, RPG-a-Day 2018

Blades in the Dark. At the risk of being repetitive, it’s one of the best things that came out of breaking my right ankle on December 30, 2017. The RPG is set in a fantasy world ravaged by a spiritual[…]

#RPGaDay2018 – Which game do you think deserves greater recognition?

August 24, 2018 Ken Newquist Games, Projects, Role-Playing Games, RPG-a-Day 2018

#RPGaDay2018 – Which game do you hope to play again?

August 23, 2018 Ken Newquist Games, Projects, Role-Playing Games, RPG-a-Day 2018

#RPGaDay2018 – Which non-dice system appeals to you?

August 21, 2018 Ken Newquist Games, Projects, Role-Playing Games, RPG-a-Day 2018
