In #RPGaDay2025 Day 4, I responded to "Message" by talking about how difficult it is to communicate long-distance without telephones. This is an update after a reader reminded me of semaphore and other signals at a distance.

#RPGaDay2025 - 20 - Enter (catchup mode)

TL;DR: Thoughts on making the choice to enter the next part of a #ttrpg adventure significant, a threshold to be crossed.

My after-action report for the #RPGaDAY2025 Challenge. I did a lot of talking about various #TTRPG topics. I felt good about my #RPGaDAY entries.

Best of RPGaDAY2025

The RPGaDAY2025 challenge ended yesterday. I thought I’d put together a quick list of some of my favorite entries.

Maybe not a “best” list, just some of the entries in #RPGaDAY2025 challenge I found interesting. These are all blog posts, as those are the only links I bothered to write down. Quite certain I missed a lot of good ones.

Feel free to add your own favorites.

Patron

Timothy S. Brennan discussed a few types of fantastic Patrons. I particularly liked the bit about making deals with angels.

#rpgaday2025 Thanks to everyone who participated in #RPGaDay this year. I've enjoyed reading your posts, even as I've found the prompts difficult myself. You've all inspired me to keep going if nothing else.

Thank you, autocratik.com & castingshadowsblog.com . The summer wouldn't be the same without you.

A special thank you to @Sophie who's amazing and enjoyable dice rolling #app helped me out with randomised stimuli when I got stuck.
