#RPGaDAY: Day 4 – Charm (Intellect; Grace; Vagabonds of Dyfed)
The fourth day of #RPGaDay2026 gives us the prompt Charm. This week’s responses are all under the influence of the weekly filter of Intellect. The daily filter sticking its nose in on this Tuesday is Grace. I will endeavor not to turn this post into one about our Doberman Pinscher rescue of the same name, but there will probably be a picture. No apologies.

#RPGaDAY: Day 3 – Poise (Intellect; Fair; Vagabonds of Dyfed)
For Day 3 of #RPGaDAY2026 the prompt is Poise, the weekly filter is Intellect and the daily filter has shifted to Monday’s ‘fair of face.’ Let’s go where that takes us, shall we, and let’s explore a little of Vagabonds of Dyfed while we are at it~
#RPGaDAY: Day 2 – Stature (Drive; Blessed; Rivers of London)
For Day2 of #RPGaDAY2026 the prompt is Stature, the weekly filter is still Drive and the daily filter has shifted to Sunday’s ‘blessed.’ Let’s figure out a suitable foil for yesterday’s character, shall we?
#RPGaDAY: Day 1 – Discipline (Drive; Hard Work; Rivers of London)
Here we go with my first response for #RPGaDay2026 where we will take a look at a character I enjoyed playing in the Rivers of London RPG by Chaosium. Our prompt for today is Discipline. The weekly filter is Drive, and the daily filter is Hard Working. It was this specific combination of traits which brought PC Everett Balcom to mind again, and it is the nuance in BRP which makes these special traits something to actively play with, work toward or against, and have matter.
