A Complete D6 Occult Cyberpunk RPG

For context, this post is part of #RPGaDay2026 happening throughout August 2026.

This is part four of a series exploring the source material from The Rivers of London novels by Ben Aaronovitch which has given rise to a charming RPG from Chaosium. This series explores inspirations for and attitudes about playing the game, hoping to encourage gamers to look past the expectations of typical urban fantasy and police procedurals to find the beautiful and moving moments of something much deeper. It would be nice too, if readers who have not yet tried a roleplaying game but love the series, could be enticed by this series to give it a try. The world you love in the books can come to life in your own play. It's a kind of magic.

This is part three of a series exploring the source material from The Rivers of London novels by Ben Aaronovitch which inspired and supports a streamlined BRP roleplaying game by Chaosium. The motivation behind the series is to explore approaches to playing the game, and to acknowledge and inspire gamers to look past the upbeat and humorous writing, punctuated by police procedure and magical action, to find the beautiful and moving moments of perhaps unexpected potency which make the books stand out. The combination, if grasped and brought into a game, is killer.

This is part two of a series exploring the source material of The Rivers of London roleplaying game by Chaosium which should surprise no one is the Rivers of London book series by Ben Aaronovitch. In part one, we did a ridiculously quick overview of the premise of the series, an even faster overview of the game, and made a note about how the upbeat and humorous writing, punctuated by police procedure and magical action, was also home to beautiful and moving moments of perhaps unexpected potency. In this installment, the first three books are to be brought into the Achieving Best Evidence suite and without benefit of Molly's cooking, will give up some of the secrets they have been hiding.

The reason I am doing this small series on the Rivers of London is motivated by the existence and quality of the RPG, of course, but it is also about the real moments of truly beautiful writing which present moments of profundity in what could otherwise be taken as an yet another urban fantasy or police procedural. Looking at a book cover or hearing a description is more likely to be reductive or simply comparative. Those moments, secreted throughout the series, deserve better.

Hello! Long time, no speak etc. How are you doing?

We've reached the end of August, and this year's #RPGaDAY initiative is over! Thank you to everyone who took part this year. The last couple

What if, for the sake of discussion, everything that you believe to be true about roleplaying games were true, but let's also note that that "you" is not the singular, but the plural. We can rightfully expect, I think, for the sum of all those perspectives to seem chaotic. Of course, not all that each of us believes to be true about RPGs really is true, but a lot is - at least, from a certain point of view.

Today is Monday, August 31st and the final day of #RPGaDAY2026. As usual, it has been a privilege to witness how different communities all over the world have taken time out of their lives and social media activities to share their love and appreciation for roleplaying games and the people who play them. It's fantastic. David and I talk a little about it in our Closing Video so I don't need to use space and your time to write about it here. Instead, let's get to the final prompt: Edge. On the infographic, today starts its own single-day week, so we get 'ability' as one filter, and 'fair of face' for the other. The game I have chosen for today is one that is out on the fringes of RPG conversation. Today, my response will be drawn from Continuum: Roleplaying in the Yet by Aetherco / Dreamcatcher Multimedia.

This is a Bonus episode swiftly covering my participation on the written Casting Shadows blog in the second half of this year's #RPGaDAY and some updates about current events and mention of a list of cool #RPGaDAY2026 responses.

The most important aspect of #RPGaDAY in any year is not finishing all of the prompts or being on time with responses, but being positive about roleplaying games and gamers. Over the course of 31 days, that positivity sparks fond memories, reignites old interests, or fans the flames of new ones. Below I have taken a special or representative post from 31 different sources that caught my eye during August 2026. I hope you will take some time in September to take a look at what these sources had to offer for the event this year and, if you can, let them know that you were there~

Thanks to Autocratik and Runeslinger for bringing RPGaDay together, this year and over the past decade. I appreciate everything that you and your many contributors have brought to the hobby. This y…

It is Day 30 of #RPGaDAY2026 and the last day of using Space: 1999 by @Modiphius for my responses. Tomorrow is the last day of this yearly RPG-positivity event. It will also be the first and only day I use the game selected for the final "week" of this event. We started with a two-day "week"and the Rivers of London RPG and we will end with a one-day "week" and a game you will have to visit here tomorrow to find out about. The weekly filter ending its run today on Day 30 is "emotion." The daily filter for Sunday is "blessed." The prompt for today is "pride."
