RPGaDAY2025 Day 9: Inspire

Written by TardisCaptain 1 Comment on RPGaDAY2025 Day 9: Inspire

And here we are on Day 9 of the RPGaDAY 2025 Challenge. Today we are talking on the prompt ‘Inspire’. What inspires you not only with roleplaying games but in general? Well for me I find that quotes are inspiring. You may have seen all the Star Trek quotes that I post every Monday. Most of these are inspiring or entertaining and I share them daily on two social media websites (Star Trek Quotes on Mastodon and Star Trek Quotes on BlueSky). A short phrase that may mean something to different people at different times.

But there is one quote that I wanted to use to inspire my fellow geeks. It’s primarily about science fiction, but it could easily be associated with gaming. It is as follows…

“Science fiction is the fiction of ideas. Ideas excite me, and as soon as I get excited, the adrenaline gets going and the next thing I know I’m borrowing energy from the ideas themselves. Science fiction is any idea that occurs in the head and doesn’t exist yet, but soon will, and will change everything for everybody, and nothing will ever be the same again. As soon as you have an idea that changes some small part of the world you are writing science fiction. It is always the art of the possible, never the impossible.”

This was spoken by the famous sci-fi author Ray Bradbury. When I read this, it struck a chord with me. I talked about Exploring different roleplaying games in yesterday’s challenge post. A different system is a new idea, a different way to cook up the meal, a different way to do something. Perhaps the game itself is not so great, but the system sparks an idea. I’ve had a few of these hit me while I was using the system in the Character Creation Challenge. I’ve wondered if I could take the inspiration from these ideas and turn them into an RPG system? At a minimum, get it to the beta phase where I try it with a few other players.

I just need to get off of my duff and do it.

What has inspired you? Is there a quote that has spoken to you when you read it? Tell me about it. This article is open for discussion on the TardisCaptain dot Com Discord server. You can also email me at Carl (at) TardisCaptain.com with any comments.

RPGaDAY2025 Day 8: Explore

Written by TardisCaptain 1 Comment on RPGaDAY2025 Day 8: Explore

The prompt of ‘Explore’ is being used for the Day 8 entry of the RPGaDAY 2025 Challenge. There were quite a few blog posts that came up about setting up a game for the players to explore distant lands or strange new worlds. But when I was thinking about this topic, I looked within. I like exploring some of the different roleplaying game systems that are out there. How are they different? What twist was added to a similar system like D20? Does the system make sense for the genre it’s used for?

So, how do I explore these different systems? Well, I’ve been approaching this in different ways.

First and foremost is to just sit and read the book. When I’m doing this, I find that physical books are better for the first read through. Then when I’m doing research or in a game, PDFs and their quick search features are very handy. Most RPG books are well written enough to explain the system without making me want to claw my eyes out. Then there are others that I just toss the book to the side and say ‘nope’. The two examples of bad books are The Strange and my big disappointment known as The Cowboy Bebop Roleplaying Game (sigh). There are badly organized books with good systems such as the first edition Star Trek Adventures core rulebook that made me want to re-write it. I am very grateful that the people behind this game took the fans feedback to heart and made vast improvements with the release of Star Trek Adventures 2nd Edition. The system is nearly identical, but the presentation was much easier to read and understand. I give thanks to them for being willing to listen to the fans.

Another method of exploring new systems has been creating characters for the annual Character Creation Challenge. I’ve noticed that the better written books give you enough information about the system so that you can make good decisions while creating your character. Then it can do a deeper dive into the system farther into the book for clarity. I’ve mentioned before that a good RPG book will give me a quick one-minute pitch on how the game is played so I can try to talk friends into trying it at the table. Plus, if I can tell them how easy it is to make a character, the more likely they may take me up on that gaming offer.

And sometimes the best way to explore a new system is to just sit down and play it. At SaltCON, I try to sign up for at least one game that I’ve never played before just to learn the system. What has really been cool is that several designers have brought their own games to the convention for players to check out. I’ve had a lot of fun asking the designers questions after they have run their one-shots.

What methods have you used to explore a new gaming system? Tell me about it. This article is open for discussion on the TardisCaptain dot Com Discord server. You can also email me at Carl (at) TardisCaptain.com with any comments.

RPGaDAY2025 Day 7: Journey

Written by TardisCaptain 1 Comment on RPGaDAY2025 Day 7: Journey

We’ve made it to Day 7 of the RPGaDAY 2025 Challenge with the prompt of “Journey”. Once again, I’ve been reading other blogs and social media posts to see what inspires me, but I kept coming back to a conversation I had a long time ago.

Now a warning before I post this. I’m not making any legal claims, nor am I about to lawyer up and try to take any legal action. I have no way to prove what I’m about to post, nor do I think that I’m the only person who came up with the idea. When it comes to storytelling, there are only a limited number of plot-lines that are out there. What is different is how those plots are told in the medium they are presented.

I was talking with a friend at the “gaming clubhouse” which was a geek hangout near the Comics Utah store in Salt Lake City. The year was 1993 and we were talking about Star Trek roleplaying scenarios. At the time, only the FASA Star Trek RPG had been released (a lot of us didn’t know about the Star Trek: Adventure Gaming in the Final Frontier books) and my friend didn’t think there were very many challenging plots left to run in a Star Trek RPG. I disagreed and offered to come up with a campaign right on the spot.

I then presented an idea where a Starfleet crew would find themselves in a perilous situation where their resources would become limited. It would take a long time for them to recover because they were trapped on the far side of the galaxy. Some phenomena or plot device had thrown them to the other side of the galaxy we inhabit, and it would take a long time to return to Federation space. The journey would have been the campaign to get back home.

Now if this sounds familiar, later in 1995 the newly formed UPN network premiered Star Trek: Voyager on January 16th. I didn’t know how they were going to get this lonely starship across the galaxy. I also didn’t know that they would also be trapped with various civilians and Federation rebels known as the Maquis, which gave the show some internal conflict. But the basic plot was the same that I had come up with just a few years earlier. I was quite excited to see how the crew of the USS Voyager would make it home.

So, in a roleplaying game campaign, a long journey could be the entire story arc. What was the reason for the journey? Are they getting to somewhere, or trying to return from a distant location? Is this place familiar to the players, or are they facing the unknown? It doesn’t have to be a destination from this plain of existence. I could see a campaign where players from a certain timeframe get stuck in a pocket universe with NPCs from different timeframes or alternate universes all trying to escape. Greed and desperation may make for points of conflict when different factions are trapped together.

This is why we play roleplaying games. Where will this journey set up by the GM, but shaped by the players actions take all of us in this shared storytelling experience?

Do you have a memory of a past RPG event that is related to the term Journey? Tell me about it. This article is open for discussion on the TardisCaptain dot Com Discord server. You can also email me at Carl (at) TardisCaptain.com with any comments.

RPGaDAY2025 Day 3: Tavern

Written by TardisCaptain

Tavern is the Day 3 topic for RPGaDAY 2025 Challenge and I think this is a good one. The common thread of taverns with roleplaying games is the “you all meet up at the tavern for the start of the adventure.” Well taverns can be a bit more than that. They can be a home base of operations such as the Inn of the Crescent Moon seen in the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons comics from DC Comics, a common gathering place for the community such as Quark’s Bar on Deep Space Nine, a place to find transport such as the Mos Eisley Cantina or just a place to pick a fight…

“Funny, sir, how you always seem to find yourself in an Alliance-friendly bar, come U-Day, lookin’ for a quiet drink.” Zoe- The Train Job, Firefly episode 2

Taverns, bars, inns, etc. can be used as plot points in may different roleplaying games or stories. A place to find a contact or pass on information. Especially if it’s a last minute option for the GM to use. Just in case you suddenly find yourself in need of a name for that shady little dive the players find themselves in, here are some random tavern names.
