#RPGaDAY: Day 16 – Composure (Associates; Blessed; WILD)
This is the 16th day of #RPGaDay2026 and we are now finishing the weekend in which we segue into the second half of the 13th run of this celebratory event. Today our prompt is Composure. Our weekly filter is the last day for ‘Associates,’ and our daily filter is the one that all the other days get jealous about, ‘blessed,’ despite the obvious propaganda by the Ra Foundation.
#RPGaDAY: Day 15 – Endurance (Associates; Hard Work; WILD; Independence Day)
This is the 15th day of #RPGaDay2026 and we are in the weekend in which we segue into the second half of this event. Today our prompt is Endurance. Our weekly filter is ‘Associates,’ and our daily filter is ‘works hard for a living.’ This is the first half of the mid-point in this 31-day event. For those of you who are still managing to post every day you have our respect. Champions like the Pink Phantom are doing daily podcast releases starting with world building an old-fashioned way, and event-founder David Chapman is still posting character art daily. That’s impressive, right? RPGaDAY is not a competition though – it’s an opportunity to blend your voice with other gamers and praise our hobby. Life might not give you enough time to post every day, but we all appreciate the days when you can and do post, and are curious about what it will be. This pep-talk is brought to you by Saturday, the number 15, and the magic of roleplay. Don’t give up! We are cresting the hill and from tomorrow it’s all a downhill grade~
#RPGaDAY: Day 14 – Regard (Associates; Charitable; WILD)
This is the 14th day of #RPGaDay2026 and it is Friday. We dodged a bullet with yesterday not falling on this date! Today our prompt is Regard and the tone shifts from some of the darker prompts of earlier this week. Our weekly filter is still the very neutral ‘Associates.’ I guess it is up to you how to take the remaining daily filters. Today’s is ‘Loving and Giving,’ so that is harder to turn to the dark side, as it were.
#RPGaDAY: Day 13 – Strain (Associates; Distance; WILD)
This is the 13th day of #RPGaDay2026. I have been finding lots of interesting and thoughtful posts out there to recommend and share, as well as insightful and quirky short ones. It’s always fascinating to see how people respond to what they see suggested in the prompts. This year, with weekly filters such as this week’s ‘Associates,’ and the daily filters like today’s ‘Far to Go,’ each daily prompt or daily question can be put into different contexts, dealt with on their own, or used to inspire something else. Today’s prompt is strain, and at this point in a monthly challenge it is normal and understandable to start feeling some. Fortunately, with a game like WILD to support my responses this week, I am not feeling any. Let’s get into it!
#RPGaDAY: Day 12 – Loss (Associates; Woe; WILD)
This is the 12th day of #RPGaDay2026. Our weekly filter is Associates, and the daily filter is ‘Woe.’ The prompt for today is ‘Loss.’ We are doubling down on the sadness it seems, but on the bright side, this woe is the fun woe, because it is RPG woe not real woe. This feels like the ideal time to add a reminder that RPGaDAY is all about celebrating our hobby and putting a lot of positive messages about roleplaying games out into social media to shift the tone of conversation for the month of August and hopefully beyond. Amazing things happen during the event. This year, I have already seen bursts of creativity for game supplements, ongoing reviews of lesser-known but very cool games, tremendous art, and of course the main course of great stories by and about gamers doing fantastic things.
