Last year at a time when energy seemed to be waning on #TTRPG Mastodon I tried initiating a discussion-prompt activity called #PrompterHawk that I hoped would be more interesting than the typical list of "what was your first ____" and "what's your favorite _____".
Qs 1to10: https://dice.camp/@DanMaruschak/108743069660023469

Out of curiosity, would you want to see the Prompter Hawk return? If someone ran an activity like this, would you post in it?

Attached: 1 image The Prompter Hawk is a giant magical bird which, according to legend, cannot see those who answer its probing questions, so that is the safest way to avoid being devoured. The Prompter Hawk will present discussions here on Mastodon each day of August. This post shows the first ten, there will be daily posts for each one. Reply to individual posts or use the prompt-specific hashtag. (Feel free to re-use any images, and it’s OK to miss days, jump ahead, catch up later, etc.). #TTRPG #PrompterHawk

If anyone wants any sort of TTRPG-based icebreaker questions to generate some energy or posting activity here, feel free to resurrect, reanimate, or summon the ghost of the #PrompterHawk from earlier this year.

This mystical bird appears to be leaving as mysteriously as it appeared, but is leaving us with at least one more prompt:

15. Post a review of the #PrompterHawk experience. What do you think about it? How do you feel about it? #PostHawkAnalysis

11. Have you ever played an RPG character that was different enough that it felt truly other than human, beyond just wearing virtual SFX makeup? If you haven’t, do you think it’s possible and do you want to? #NonhumanRPG

The #PrompterHawk may be showing signs of fatigue, but this majestic yet terrifying beast will continue to hunt the area for at least four more days! #TTRPG
