RPGaDAY2025 Day 10: Origin

Written by TardisCaptain August 10, 2025August 9, 2025

While driving around a thought hit me for my Day 10 entry for the Day 9 of the RPGaDAY 2025 Challenge. If you’ll indulge me, I’m going to describe the origins of my little corner of the internet. This didn’t start out as a roleplaying blog, but as a way for me to gain some joy in this world (and share it as well). Originally I was going to use this like the old LiveJournal that was popular many moons ago. As I detailed in my very first blog post, I was planning to talk about anything that popped up in my head. And I did get a few different posts in here and there. But I noticed from the metrics that the bulk of my visitors enjoyed my roleplaying game posts. And I also noticed that I enjoyed talking about roleplaying games than trying to turn this into my private social media site. I gravitated more and more towards just RPG posts. Sure, every once in a while I scratch the itch with other geeky blog posts. And later I discovered that I could mirror the Daily Star Trek Quotes posts that I organize on a weekly basis.

There are a lot of visitors who come by every January when I run the Character Creation Challenge. These RPGaDAY posts are also popular. My reviews are getting a lot of views (and I’ve had a few people reach out to me with additional questions afterwards). One of the most popular posts has been my review of the RPG Dice that I Picked up from the Dollar Tree. I just received an email just a few weeks ago from someone who wanted to respond to that article. My convention posts have also provided both entertainment and feedback. I also really enjoyed sharing my past RPG homebrews for FASA starships and the characters that I had kept in a three-ringed binder from my early days of gaming.

I do have some pages (not blog posts) that I’ve put together. These cover the FASA Star Trek RPG, Dungeons and Dragons and many different photos in the Photo Album.

So, what do I want to do with this blog? Well on the RPG side I have a few themes in mind similar to RPGaDAY and the Character Creation Challenge, but without the monthly time-table. One would provide examples of combat in fantasy RPGs. Another theme would talk about how the different Star Trek and Sci-Fi RPGs handle certain situations. I did set up a TardisCaptainDotCom Discord server. Besides interacting with readers, I want to have a “Questions for the Blog” to publicly answer questions that fellow geeks might ask.

On the non-RPG side I want to give more reviews on some of the various books that I’ve got in my reference library. Details on the magazines and comics that I’ve collected. Displays of the autographs that I’ve been able to obtain from actors, astronauts and athletes. I want to fill out the other sections that detail some of my interests. I need to get my latest photos up in the album. But, the bulk of my blog posts will be about the different RPG that I experience. As I said when I started this blog, I wanted to get some entertainment out of it, and if I can help provide to entertainment to others, then it makes all the better.

I have received some feedback from past RPGaDAY posts. Phil H on MeWe responded to the entry on Journey by telling me about a D6 fantasy campaign where the characters had to go on a long journey. This campaign ran for 2.5 years. When it came to the post for Explore, Phil H commented how he enjoyed the 1st Edition of Star Trek Adventures, but used some of it with the Captain’s Log version of the game.

What would you like to see on my blog? RPG or non-RPG, I’m open to suggestions. 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 9: Inspire

Written by TardisCaptain August 9, 2025August 8, 2025 1 Comment

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 August 8, 2025August 8, 2025 1 Comment

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.

RPGaDAY2025 Day 7: Journey

Written by TardisCaptain August 7, 2025August 7, 2025 1 Comment

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 6: Motive

Written by TardisCaptain August 6, 2025August 6, 2025

Day 6 of the RPGaDAY 2025 Challenge and the graphic posted above shows “Motive” to be our topic of the day. Another vague topic that could cover just about anything. I’ve read a few other blog posts so far about today’s topic and I think I’ve decided where I’m going to take this.

What motivates you to participate in a roleplaying game related activity?

Do you just want to sit at the table to throw dice, eat pizza and spend time with your friends? Do you want to put together challenging puzzles and scenarios for the players to solve? Do you want to write the backstory to flesh out a set of numbers written down on a character sheet? Do you want to spend some time painting a small miniature that just came out of your 3D-printer? Do you want to attend a gaming convention where you play a bunch of one-shots over the weekend with possible new friends? Do you need more shiny math rocks that go klicky klack when they roll across the table? Do you love figuring out how RPG systems work and if they can be applied to the style of game you want to play? Do you love participating in the Character Creation Challenge even though you may never get a chance to play that character? Do you post on blogs or social media websites about our hobby? Do you get frustrated when the scheduling conflict monster and that damn real life gets in the way of your gaming time?

I feel ya. Well except for the painting miniatures part. I never had the patience to do that which only makes me appreciate those who can.

But our motivation to do this comes down to one word. Fun. It is fun to do? To play? To go through the frustration of getting things put together? The players should have fun, as well as the game master. When you commit to a game, be there on time, be prepared to play, pay attention at the table. Your fellow players planned to be there, the GM put a lot of hard work into the game. Don’t play the character in a way that it’s an asshole unless the game was set up to have the PCs be bad guys. Those types of people don’t last in real-world groups, why would a group of adventurers who are risking their lives want to protect someone like that?

A fun game is one where both the players and the GM are thinking about the next session. This type of energy motivates them to get ready for the next session. I have many memories of talking with the other players between sessions about what we were going to do next. I love it when my players have that same motivation.

What motivated you today about our RPG hobby? 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 5: Ancient

Written by TardisCaptain August 5, 2025August 5, 2025 1 Comment

I was wondering what I was going to do for the Day 5 of the RPGaDAY 2025 Challenge. The prompt is “Ancient.” A quick search gave me the definition of “Belonging to the very distant past or having been in existence for a very long time.” Then it hit me, something ancient that still exists would be worth a lot for its rarity, functionality or long-lost information waiting to be uncovered. This is system agnostic for any fantasy roleplaying game.

Adventure Idea: The Battle Record of Anthelstan:
The adventurers are in (or from) the long-lasting Kingdom of Anthelheim. The Royal Family of Anthelheim lays claim to the throne since their bloodline originated with the ancient warrior-king Anthelstan. This is kept in the royal tome known as The Battle Record of Anthelstan. This rare book is only accessible to the first family and the guild of scribes; however, it is brought out on special occasions where the different guild leaders read passages from the book to the public. It was written by the First Scribe who followed the young king on his adventures and recorded down the events for posterity. The first warrior-king brings about a sense of pride in the people of Anthelheim for his many good deeds in uniting the warring clans and forming the first kingdom.

The party is approached by a middleman/mysterious figure/confidant/??? who wants to hire the party to perform a discreet search. Apparently, a hireling of a known adventure offered to sell to a guild master/prominent figure/member of a crime family/etc. an ancient parchment which matches the first page of The Battle Record of Anthelstan. They were with the adventurer when it was found while searching for the lost battlefield of Draag’s Deep and claimed they just barely escaped from the traps that took their master’s life. The problem is the first page in The Battle Record of Anthelstan is still attached to the book that was seen in the recent Festival of Thrax and Alyton. Is this page a fake? Is it part of another copy of The Battle Record of Anthelstan? The benefactor hiring the party wants to confirm if this second book exists. Who wants the book? Someone wanting to keep an ancient secret? Someone who wants to present another record of a blood line? Who else knows about this page? Is someone else looking for the book?

Pushes adventure seed into the ground and pours some water on it. Take this tidbit and let it grow. But share with me if you run an adventure from this idea. I’d love to hear how it turns out.

Did this idea inspire you? What else could I have done with the topic of “ancient”? 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 4: Message

Written by TardisCaptain August 4, 2025August 4, 2025

Here we are on Day 4 of the RPGaDAY 2025 Challenge and our topic today is “Message”. I’m going to talk about an old-fashioned analog way to get messages to my players at my table without the rest of the party knowing what the contents of the message is.

A pad of Post-It Notes. No, seriously. These pads are small enough that I can have a stack of them behind my GMs screen. When I need to get a message to a player, I quickly write it down and toss it at them. The pad is stiff enough that they can write their response back and toss it back to me. Sometimes I’ll even just write down “Read this, giggle, and toss it back to me.” I can then remove the top layer and have the pad ready for the next clue/hint/joke/paranoia inducing information. The player themselves can then decide if their character wants to reveal the information they just gained or remembered.

I used this when I was GMing for the 5e group being introduced to OSR gaming (see the photo posted on that article). I’ve used it at a few one-shots that I’ve run at SaltCON as well. It allows me to keep players involved, drop hints (something the player would have known or observed) and just keep things interesting at the table. Simple and effective.

While I’ve been doing some of these articles, I’ve looked back on older RPGaDAY posts and recalled some of the feedback I had previously received. I had posted the comments given to me. I have had a few people tell me that they thought my posts (or twists on the theme) were very intriguing or entertaining. Thank you. Besides practicing how to write gooder, part of the reason I have this blog is to pass on information to other people. I even had someone recently send me an email thanking me for a four-year old article they had just read.

How do you communicate with the players at your table? Have you used messages to move the game along? 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 August 3, 2025September 1, 2025

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.
