#RPGaDAY2024 Day 31 - Game or Gamer You Miss

Another year of #RPGaDay #ttrpg essays comes to an end with 4 games that I especially miss, from my long history of playing.

As always, thanks to Autocratik, et. al. for the great prompts!

#RPGaDay 2024 Day 8 - an accessory you appreciate. I've gone for two - the collection of GoGos Crazy Bones figures which do sterling service as characters and monsters, and my Hexers Game Masters Screen with pockets. @runeslayer @autokratik

Picek and I were gaming buddies. That was our glue that held us. More than anything else we played Legend of the Five Rings CCG. We played each other so much we would casually call each other by our chose clan names – Phoenix and Crane. At one point I started playing Scorpion decks and running a Scorpion fan site, but he still called me Crane.

I got the call while Buffy was in the desert, First Slayer walking around her in Restless. Christophe Beck’s music still plays in my mind when I think of it. He was caught in an avalanche and didn’t make it.

#RPGaDay 2024 days 2 and 3 - most recently played and most often played #RPG. Both the same - lightly house-ruled #DnD 5E, so here's the story of the last couple of sessions in my campaign.

#RPGaDay2024 Day 31: "Gamer you miss"

I grew up a Navy brat. There are crowds of folks I moved away from and would like to see at the table again.

A Game or Gamer you miss.

Me. I miss the gamer I used to be. I miss the love for RPGs I once had. The passion that let me create entire game worlds, write thousands of words a day, truly develop characters and adventures.

Now? I numbly scroll through RPG social media. I read the right blogs. I buy each month's hotness. I dutifully show up once a week for our Discord game, where I drink and joke until it's over.

But I don't create. I don't really care anymore.

#RPGaDay2024 -31- Game or gamer that you miss.

TL;DR: The various gamers (especially in the #travellerrpg scene) who've passed away.

However, that was a bit of a downer to end this year's #RPGaDay on so I also call out the Conspiracy of Shadows #ttrpg which I had a lot of fun with running at conventions.

Have been doing RPG-a-day on the Garblag Games discord so compiling them all on the blog since it is the end of the month.

#RPGaDAY2024 – DAY THIRTY: Person you’d like to game with

#RPGaDay2024 Day 30: "Person you'd like to game with"

As a lifelong Star Trek fan, I'd go with Will Wheaton. Or Todd Stashwick as an alternative.

And, no, I wouldn't ask them to play #startrekadventures. That's a little too on the nose, I think!

Get ready for the most corny response to the person you’d like to game with prompt. Ready?

It is my best friend. We go way back. Unfortunately we grew up and our schedules, and kids schedules, and life schedules … all the schedules prevent us from finding a time slot to play some games.

Another easy prompt. My pick for an awesome app is the Drivethrough RPG app. For a good long while I was bringing my digital files in my Dropbox. But then I broke my setup and was to lazy to fix it; so I tried their app. And it is good and solid. Handles PDFs OK, handles their zip files.

This one turned out to be very easy. I like my tabletop gaming as analogue as possible. Not that I am a technophobe, quite to the contrary, but I need a break from screens and all the digitalia in my daily life. And that break is my tabletop experience.

Some years ago I bought Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2, a portable Bluetooth speaker. It turned out to be a great investment, and I love using it to play music or background sounds during sessions. It is in my setup, so I don’t need to connect to other people’s systems – if there are any. And I can easily hide it away. Once i played sounds from my backpack, and they were good enough.
