RPGaDAY2025 Day 3: Tavern

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.

RPGaDAY2025 Day 2: P.R.O.M.P.T.

For Day 2 of the RPGaDAY 2025 Challenge our prompt is…. Prompt? Uh… yea. Let’s give it a twist instead by designing a sci-fi engineering tool for characters to use. I’m keeping this system agnostic so you can drop it into any science fiction roleplaying game.

Here is one of the new items presented in the Engineering Section of Issue 39,247 of the Spacers Catalog and Bargain Basement Yearly by Crapola Inc.

Art by Aurora Stark at https://aurorastark.art/

Introducing the Mark IV version of the Programmable Reconfigurable On-demand Multi-function Portable Tool or P.R.O.M.P.T. for short. Designed by the team of Allyce, Auroro and Noxx who had previously developed the Neural Duct Tape and the Tachyon Muffler.

The Mark IV P.R.O.M.P.T. has three times the battery length of the Mark III and re-charges 27% faster from a standard interface power port. The memory has been increased to include 95 more common and exotic engineering tools which become instantly available from it’s short-range programmable matter paddle field. Just use your P.R.O.M.P.T. to scan the engineering challenge and the hand-held device will present three possible engineering tools extruding from the top of the device to assist the engineer with their duties.

So how much would you pay for this? Well before you answer, there’s more. Now the Mark IV P.R.O.M.P.T. can link up with other Mark IV devices to coordinate repair efforts. Tired of filing those pesky engineering reports? The Mark IV is now Interstellar Organization for Standardization Alpha-60009 certified so it can link up with your primary shipboard computer. This allows your engineer to provide exact reports on the repair jobs and close the assigned duty tickets upon completion.

Mark IV P.R.O.M.P.T. Statistics:
Weight- 200 grams
Length- 24 cm *
Width- 12 cm *
Programmable Matter Extension Length- 1-8 cm
Battery Life
Constant Use- 59 days
Standard Use- 128 days
Internal Processor- Holly V Pro
Maximum Programmable Matter Tool Storage Limit- 287
ISO Alpha-60009 Certified
HBZZ Cybersecurity Enabled

*= without programmable matter tool extensions

Pre-Installed Programmable Matter Tools:
Reverse Polarity Enabler
Metric Hyperspanner
Duotronic Probe
Regulated Coil Spanner
14B Dispenser Cleaner
14F Dispenser Cleaner
Flux Coupler
Interlink Sequencer
Quantum Flux Regulator
Sonic Screwdriver

Interested in expanding your engineering toolbox? Authorized accounts can order directly from the catalog or by visiting one of Crapola Inc.’s many retail locations on Earth, Neptune, Venus, Ganymede and Titan. And remember, if we don’t sell it, then it’s not Crapola!

The art was last minute as the idea struck me today. Did this entry bring a smile to your face while reading 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 1: Patron

Welcome to the month of August. I didn’t get a chance to do a “Prepping for…” blog post (damn real life getting in the way) but I’m planning to participate in the RPGaDAY 2025 Challenge as coordinated by David F. Chapman. As you can see in the image above, there are 31 different topics to inspire discussion. There are also additional Questions, Moods and Subjects. I might use these if the topic fails to get my fingers typing. This morning I’ve had a chance to read a few other blog posts that were participating and I think it triggered some ideas in my brain. So, without further adieu, here is my first entry.

Patron: For some, this term evokes the Warlock Class from the fifth edition of Dungeons and Dragons. A spell-caster has a pact with some sort of patron that provides them with the power to use as they see fit. Another use of the term Patron is the subscription service that I see advertised on various websites, podcasts, blogs and videographers. I haven’t really used this service as a sender or a receiver. What are your impressions of this? The Merriam-Webster dictionary tells us that a patron can be a special guardian, protector or supporter.

The inspiration that hit me while reading the other entries was the player character being a patron. Not just giving someone else ‘power’ but more like a mentor position. Consider the following ideas:

The Wanna-Be Magician: What if a mid-to-high level non-Warlock magic-user suddenly found out that someone wants to learn the ways of sorcery (or Jedi powers) from them? Perhaps this person was assigned to them by a guild or magic school so they couldn’t just dismiss the person outright. Perhaps this apprentice could be an eager beaver wanting to impress their superiors, a brat of a rich family who thinks that they are already destined for greatness, someone scared of the powers they might obtain, etc. The NPC options are endless and could make for an interesting addition to a mid-to-high level magic-user.

The Voices in my Head: I’ve thought about springing this on players previously, but it never came up in a scenario that it could be properly role-played. The player character (could be any genre) reaches for an ancient artifact, statue, scroll, tchotchke and gets an electric shock. When they recover, they can hear a voice in their head of a long lost archeologist/wizard/supernatural being/etc. that only they can hear. I wanted to have this happen to a strong non-learning character (barbarian, mercenary, etc.) on purpose. Perhaps they felt the stronger character would protect their conscious/spirit/??? and help them achieve their goals. Not following the instructions of the voice, could lead to madness, but the voice could be helpful in sticky situations.

The Next Next Generation: For Star Trek Adventures or any space opera style game with a structured fleet, the characters could be assigned a junior officer that they need to mentor. Like the Command Training Program or younger Ensigns asking Lieutenants for help as seen on Star Trek: Lower Decks. Space navies always need to have officers fresh out of the academy mentored by seasoned officers in real-world scenarios.

Training the Peaceful Villagers: “Across that valley lies an army of darkness such as mankind has never seen. The only thing between them and total victory is this pathetic pocket of resistance. Without a leader, without a plan. Into this bleak arena steps a man, the man for the moment.” Rimmer- Meltdown, Red Dwarf Series IV, Episode 6. The characters can be samurai, gunfighters or even an obnoxious, trumped-up, farty little smeghead who need to train a group of common people into a fighting force. They may not be much of a fighting force, but with the character’s help, they just might pull it off. And who knows, if they survive, perhaps they will want to become followers of the seven… err… characters.

Are there other ideas? Did I miss a possible patron opportunity to put the characters into? 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.

The Monty Python RPG (no it isn’t!) Kickstarter Reward

The contents of my Kickstart reward package.

All right, I’m sorry to my regular readers. I know that I owe you guys a LOT of catch up articles. Let’s just say that 2025 has been very sucky on a lot of different fronts. So I’m trying to catch up with this and other articles. I’m also going to attempt to participate in the 2025 #RPGaDAY challenge coming up in August. So the first of my catch up articles will be a look at the Monty Python’s Role-Playing Game Cocurricular Mediaeval Reenactment Programme published by Exalted Funeral.

I had received this package back in January during the middle of the Character Creation Challenge, so I didn’t open it up then. Since those blog entries take up the bulk of my blog time, I elected to wait until later to do a review. Yea, that was a bad idea.

What I saw when I first opened up the shipping box.

This Kickstarter campaign actually started back in October of 2022. Those who had pledged for the physical items also received PDFs of the rules. This is how I was able to make a character for this game in the 2024 Character Creation Challenge. I discussed some of the items from the game in the challenge entry, so I’ll try to concentrate on the physical items that I received as part of the reward. I wasn’t able to get any of the big-ticket items, but I picked up the book, the special dice for the game. Since several stretch goals were met, the physical backers also received coconut dice rollers.

Yes, they make hoof noises when clapped together. I tested them.

You probably can’t see it very well in the photo above, but the game logo is on the inside of the coconut halves. I’ll have a chance to play this game at the upcoming SaltCON End-of-Summer, so I’ll bring both the dice and the dice rollers to use at the table. And speaking of dice… err… Certified Polyhedral Random Number Generators.

The top of the dice box for the game.
The text at the bottom of the box.
The contents inside the box.
The only item that seemed to have a printing error.
No, it’s a female aardvark.
The types of dice used in the game.

Yes, I had to get the dice for the game. No, I don’t have enough dice. While I’m not up to full dice goblin mode, I’m getting closer. I can’t wait to see how these are used in the game.

As for the hardback book itself, it’s beautiful. Brian Saliba and Craig Schaffer are the names posted on the front of the book. The cover art is by Keith Lowe. The ISBN is 979-8-88756-079-3 with a suggested price of $50.00. There are 450 pages with content on both inside covers. There are nine chapters and several appendices and an index. The hardbound book also contains a bookmark ribbon.

The first chapter is “An introduction to cocurricular reenacting” followed by “A brief historical remediation for those who didn’t apply themselves at school.” The third chapter provides the information on how the system works with the “How the programme programmes” and character creation is in the fourth chapter under “Participant Primer.” For the game masters, chapter five gives us “Head of Light Entertainment Handbook” with the “Heads of Light Entertainment Directory” following right after. A whos-who of characters from some different Monty Python films are included in chapter seven’s “Notable Historical Figures” with chapter eight providing “A field guide to creatures, historical, mythical and mundane.” The last chapter contains various “Quests” that the HoLE (aka GM) can use in a campaign. Since I’m going to be playing this RPG soon, I did not read any of these adventures. A character sheet is included (also available for download on the Exalted Funeral website. While I was looking at the book I noticed that they had provided different colored pages for the different chapters. This was also reflected on the edge of the pages for quick searches.

Hopefully the different colored pages show up in this photograph.
The text on the back of the book.

While I covered the character creation steps in the 2024 Character Creation Challenge entry, I didn’t really go into detail on the system. Each class… err… situation that the participant (aka character) is a part of has a series of traits. The player describes to the HoLE what their participant is doing and a trait is selected to roll against. Which of the many die is selected depends upon if the participant is being serious or silly. There are also accouterments that may give the participant bonuses to their roll. The HoLE will roll for the opposing NPC or situation. However if the player describes the action well (or silly) enough, then the HoLE may just declare “Intercourse the Dice” and award an automatic success. I’m not certain if I’m describing the basics very well. Perhaps I’ll be able to explain it better after SaltCON. But the feel that I’m getting is that this is has a lot of narrative feel, but keeps the soul of randomness going with the different types of dice.

The traits in the game are Animal Husbandry (aka Animal Handling), Argumentation (aka Debating, but I wanted an argument), Authority (aka Leadership), Bardistry (aka Performance), Chasity (avoiding temptation), Decorum (are you trained to be high class or are you just a peasant), Druidry (healing through nature), Glibness (the ability to use quick wits or not), Heartiness (aka Charisma), Lorefulness (aka Intelligence and Wisdom), Luck (self explanatory), Nimbleness (aka Dexterity), Purpose (aka Force of Will or Faith), Sorcery (There are some that call me… Tim), Strategy (aka Tactical knowledge), Subtlety (aka skills a thief would have), Valour (aka battle skills and bravery), and Wisdom in the Ways of Science (aka Thinking outside the box). Not all situations will have all traits. If the player attempts to use a trait that they don’t have, then they roll the lowest die (d4), but they can still try.

Going through the book there is a ton of in-jokes from the various Monty Python episodes and movies. Primarily it is geared towards The Life of Brian and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. But fans will notice other entries as well.

I am glad that I backed this Kickstarter campaign. I can’t wait to actually try it out at the table. It will probably be one of the first Kickstarter games that I’ve picked up that I’ll be able to play. So I will hopefully have more to say after SaltCON EoS is over.

Do you have any questions about Monty Python’s Cocurricular Mediaeval Reenactment Programme? Have you backed any Kickstarters lately? Tell me about it.
