So another RPGaDAY challenge has come and gone and I think this is my best one yet. I think one of the biggest reasons is how I prepped for this challenge. Because I knew of my schedule with real life items, concerts and SaltCON End-of-Summer, I would prep some posts ahead of time and schedule them for posting. I had done this last year as well and I remembered how it helped me keep some of my sanity (what little there is left of it).
When I participated in last year’s RPGaDAY event, I ended up connecting with a lot of other participants on Mastodon and BlueSky. This year I experience the same phenomenon. For those of you who started following me (and also reading my blog for the first time), I thank you. The RPG with Great Writing resulted in a few responses from different people and in person at the recent SaltCON End-of-Summer.
Another thing that was successful was the feedback I received from various readers. All of them came from various social media posts. I tried to note most of them here, but I’m certain that I may have missed a few. If I didn’t mention them here, don’t worry. I did read and respond to most of them. Thank you, the interaction added to the enjoyment of the challenge.
Some of my favorite posts from the month include Most Often Played RPG, RPG with Great Art and RPG with Good Form. The What RPG would you like to see on TV was an interesting post. I had the opportunity to post a character from a book of characters I had kept from my early days of gaming in the Compelling Characters entry. I also got to publish a review of the GM’s Screen that I’ve been using lately in the Day 26 entry “Suburb Screen“.
Thank you to those who read my posts. Thank you to those who sent me feedback. And thank you to David Chapman for putting this together. I’m looking forward to the #CharacterCreationChallenge in January 2025.
