RPGaDay 2024

saw this floating around, so let's give it a go!

1. First RPG bought this year

boy howdy I cannot believe you are asking me to answer this in August, yikes!! I think it's either gonna be a charity bundle that had just a ton of games in it, or it's a beautiful physical hardbound copy of Bluebeard's Bride that I picked up at GAMA. probably the former, though.

RPGaDay 2024 - Catch up post! (Days #1-6)

1 - First RPG bought this year

I bought the Solo But Not Alone 4 Bundle on Feb 20th, which as best as I can see technically contains/is my first TTRPG of the year!

2 - Most recently played

Root: The RPG my beloved Root! I just did session 0 of the campaign I'm running not too long ago, and we're playing again next week and I'm so incredibly hyped! ALSO, did folks see the new supplement book coming out? One of my players is the playbook where they seek out ruins so I'm gonna be all over that book!

3 - Most often played RPG

Alas, it's still DND 5e. It's the game I have the easiest access to, as I know multiple people running games who've invited me, and it's still an enjoyable time! I do wish I got to play other ttrpgs more regularly though. Or perhaps my game 'these little delusions', though it's an RPG in the loosest sense of the word, and it's not a willing playing.

4 - RPG with great art

Project ECCO has phenomenal art and layout, and combines those things so well. The use of colour and big blocks of it is incredible, and everything in the book is so so evocative in creating the feeling that the game desires to create.

5 - RPG with great writing

I know I'm not going to be the only one who says this, far from it, but I have to shout out Wanderhome for this. I mean, those picklists, c'moooon with it, ugh so incredible to read. Every word in the book is a joy to read, and has so much emotion in it. Nothing in Wanderhome misses. Ever. (Except maybe the swamp nature, I'm sorry Jay Dragon, I just love swamps too much to see them as anything except a source of joy and fun)

6 - RPG that is easy to use

stories around a fire is one I read a couple of years ago and sat in my brain for a really long time. It's very simple, but evokes a lot of feelings for me.
