So August is quickly approaching. This is the time of the year where AUOTCRATIK announces the latest #RPGaDAY challenge. There are 31 RPG topics to blog about for 31 days. You can read my past #RPGaDAY entries here.
As you can see from the graphic above, there are 31 topics, as well as modifiers and something that looks very familiar. They recommended a Character Creation Challenge. Well we all know that’s for January (new year, new you). But, they also gave us another option as seen in the graphic below.
They provided a blank graphic to come up with your own topics for the 31 days of the #RPGaDAY challenge. Suddenly I’m taping my fingers together and saying “excellent”. Because that’s where you come in.
I’m open to suggestions for 31 topics for me to blog about for the 2026 #RPGaDAY challenge. You can post them on the TardisCaptain dot Com Discord server. Or you can email me at Carl (at) TardisCaptain.com or even hit me up on one of the Social Medias that I still seem to be lurking in.
As per the rules, I will be posting positive things about our hobby. Sure, I may post a few things with constructive criticism, but this will stick to the positive side of the issues.
So I am requesting a topic or two (or 31) and when I get enough of them, I’ll use them in August. Will you help a fellow geek out? I’d love to hear what you’d like me to blog about.
Thanks in advance.

So apparently I am insane enough that I’ve been busy working on my two new campaigns (and getting ready for SaltCON End-of-Summer) that I haven’t blogged about them yet. So this is a quick catch up on what has happened so far.
We held a session zero where the players made their characters for the Starfleet game. We are going to run a six-episode season and then re-evaluate from there (keep going, change eras, etc.). We will be playing in the “Lost Era” just after the end of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country and before the end of the 23rd century. We did have one more player drop out, but that left us with seven players in total with the following crew:
Captain Fae Hy-Lyra- Efrosian Commanding Officer
Commander Jean LaFluer- Human Executive Officer
Lt. Commander Gemini Jones- Human Chief Engineering Officer
Lieutenant Clay Frtizberg- Human Chief Communications Officer
As for the vessel they would be serving on, while I was scanning their hand-written character sheets, I pulled out my massive book of FASA Starships and dropped it on the table. It was so heavy that it made the table bounce in a loud thud. I advised against any dreadnoughts or massive battleships. This crew would be filling in the gaps while there was a massive shift of fleet resources to help out with the Klingon evacuations. They almost went with the Chandley Class Starship, but they didn’t want to deal with a Marine contingent. They voted for the Miranda Class Starship that was used quite a bit in the show. The name of the vessel came down to USS Magnanimous or USS Taylor (to be named after Roger Taylor) with the Magnanimous getting the larger number of votes. So I reached out to a friend who was a massive starship fan and he generated the registry number of NCC-31947 (note the 47 in the registry). Another friend who generates starship SFX for several Star Trek fan films was generous enough to make a graphic that I could use for the campaign (see the image above). Thank you Dennis and Ross.
We were able to have the first session, but we haven’t completed the episode yet. So I’ll have another blog post when the episode is completed. So far, the crew is reacting in typical Star Trek fashion.
We had a session zero for this campaign as well. There are two less players for this campaign so we have five in total. I’m hoping that the last player who had to bow out at the last minute can get his his schedules freed up to play. I have a place in the campaign where he could be slotted in.
This world is a new one of my “making”. I’ve set down some basic items, but I haven’t filled in every nook and cranny. The reason for this is that I’m allowing the players to contribute to this world since this is a shared storytelling experience. They get to make up the names of the villages and kingdoms their characters are from. If they follow a deity, they get to make that up as well. This means that I don’t have to work on minutia that may or may not be used in the campaign. Already some of the players have come up with some items from their backstories that I’m weaving into the campaign.
The magic users in this world received a special “Puzzle Scroll” that challenges them (those that pass get a free 0-level cantrip that allows them to easily create the Puzzle Scroll on a blank parchment). If the magic user solves the puzzle, then they have made it to the next level and a new puzzle appears. This is how the player knows that their character has received enough experience points to go up to the next level. It also allows them to test possible recruits into the Magic User’s Guild.
After the session zero, I was able to get some one-on-one RPG sessions with individual players to find out why their characters are traveling to the Grand City of Roses. Think a medieval city with a cross between London and Venice where different races (even Goblinoids) have their own Petal (sector). Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get all of the one-on-one sessions done, so I ended up having a session 0.5 to get them all caught up. The players are under strict orders not to talk about what happened in their one-on-one with each other. I wonder how the married couple are getting along with this challenge? We will be having the session one very soon and I’ll blog about that separately as well.
So far the characters are:
Noturin Boshk- Half-Elf Rogue
Ellywick Cogsprite- Gnome Wizard
Victor Goldweller- Dwarf Bard
Lorelei Murphy- Human Cleric
Albert Shepherd- Human Ranger
I can’t wait to torture…. errr…. put the characters through the story that I’ve planned out.
Do you have any questions (that I can answer publicly) about the campaign? I’ve even set up special channels for the two campaigns on my Discord server.

June 29: “Ironic, isn’t it? Way back in the 20th century, the H-Bomb was the ultimate weapon, their doomsday machine, and we used something like it to destroy another doomsday machine. Probably the first time such a weapon has ever been used for constructive purposes.” Kirk- The Doomsday Machine, Stardate: 4202.9 #StarTrek #StarTrekTOS #IDIC #Quote
June 30: “An animal is always at its best when hunted.” Deanna Troi- Manhunt, Stardate: 42859.2 #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #IDIC #Quote

July 5: “When I play poker with my shipmates, it often appears to be a useful forum for exploring the different facets of humanity.

So far, it has proved most illuminating.” Data- Descent, Stardate: 46982.1 #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #IDIC #Quote
