#RPGaDAY: Day 6 – Reach (Intellect; Far to Go; Vagabonds of Dyfed)
The sixth day of #RPGaDay2026 gives us the prompt Reach. This response remains under the influence of the weekly filter of Intellect. The daily filter is Thursday’s possibly optimistic ‘Far to Go.’ I quite like the ambivalence of this day’s filter. Even if generally taken in one light by most people, it’s likely that people being people at least some of them will take it another way entirely.
#RPGaDAY: Day 5 – Burden (Intellect; Woe; Vagabonds of Dyfed)
The fifth day of #RPGaDay2026 gives us the prompt Burden. This response remains under the influence of the weekly filter of Intellect. The daily filter sticking its nose in on this Wednesday is Woe. As none of my dogs are named woe or any of the other filters for the week, you will sadly be deprived of a dog picture… until next week. Several of my dogs do participate in my RPG activities, so their inclusion in this event is not a complete surprise. Anyway, none of them are going to show up today, so let’s get on with today’s response.
#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. She embodies her name, is incredibly charismatic, and is one of the smartest dogs I know. Ok. There will definitely be…. there already is a picture.
#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?
