In the D&D game I ran last night I gave my party a puzzle which they solved quite easily. It’s a bit meta but who cares. Can you figure it out?

I ran the first proper session with my new Dark All Day crew today. We're play-testing a new campaign book I hope to release for the one year anniversary of the game.

I ran the first playtest of my Dark All Day campaign book yesterday. It was mostly a session zero where the five players made their characters but we also played for a short while and set up the adventure. I'm looking forward to see where this goes.

I sometimes wonder what an archaeologist would make of my D&D notes if they found them in a thousand years.

I saw a strange structure near Reykjavik so took this photo out of the car window. It looks like it might be a Simon Stålenhag painting!

Instead of concentrating on Dark All Day I've instead been running a West Marches D&D game at D17 in Blackhorse Road for the last few months. This is the map so far!

After working on Dark All Day practically every day for a year and a half, it was finally released 4 months ago. And I have barely done anything with it since. But I’m starting to get the itch again and am starting to lay out the structure for a campaign book. Vampires are coming to The Sprawl.

I had a lovely time at Salute yesterday and met up with lots of old friends from Hackney Area Tabletop Enthusiasts. It was also great to see my friend's WWI game, 1918, smash its Kickstarter goal.

Who’s up for some D&D in a castle? The castle being the set from Ridley Scott’s Kingdom of Heaven.

Wow, I just hit 500 followers last night! For those that don’t know me - I’m Gary. By day, I work in film post-production, by night, I play ttrpg’s. Last year I started writing my own game, Dark All Day, which is now available to download for free from DriveThruRPG.

I ran a totally silly Xmas D&D one-shot last night featuring a mix of Die Hard, 80’s movies, high-fantasy and Xmas tropes. It ended with Princess Leia casting Thunderwave on Krampus Gruber who was stood on the roof of Wizard Nakatomi’s Tower. He rolled a natural 1 on his save and fell to his death.

Dark All Day launched over two weeks ago and afterwards I almost immediately got flu and have been out of commission ever since. It was almost like my body told me that it had had enough and it was time to take a break. But I plan to get back on track with new content coming soon.

Dragonmeet was such a great time. I met so many awesome people who seemed to be truly interested in Dark All Day and I talked so much that by 4pm I had lost my voice. It was lovely to meet @jmswallow.bsky.social, @cosmara.bsky.social and so many others and to briefly see @miramanga.bsky.social!

Note to self - don't launch your game on DriveThruRPG during Thanksgiving/Black Friday! They don't seem to have any staff available to approve my PDF upload, so it won't be downloadable until next week! #rpgdesign #rpg #dragonmeet

2 days to #dragonmeet. Today’s image is of an Offworlder. These exceptional individuals are the lucky ones, born into money and privilege, growing up in the luxury resorts on the Moon and Mars. But the danger and challenge of making it in the Sprawl calls to them. #rpg #cyberpunk

In the new Quinns Quest review of Slugblaster, Quinns says he thinks rpg folks are largely shit at telling stories. Paraphrasing: "We have spent decades arguing over dice systems, XP, world building. We've spent hardly any time on what makes a good character or the shape stories traditionally take."

This lovely thing I 3d printed and painted so I could actually show the rusty lock to my player group and later serve them the key when they found it. It is fully functional and you can find the STL files here: www.thingiverse.com/thing:5546793 #3dprint #prop #ttrpg #rpg #handout #painting

4 days to #dragonmeet! Eek, it’s getting real. My banner, some flyers and business cards turned up today! Today I’m sharing a pic of the Face character type. Faces are rock stars, influencers, and celebrities who use their charisma to survive in the gritty dystopian sprawl of Dark All Day.

9 days to #Dragonmeet! This year they’ve made some pretty cool maps of the venue (unfortunately the Novotel, Hammersmith doesn’t actually look like this). My stand is right at the entrance to the Lower Trade Hall so people will have no excuse but to walk past.
