#RPGaDAY2025 DAY 16: OVERCOME
I trust that you have no reason to disbelieve that this is the sixteenth day of #RPGaDAY2025 an that overcome is our prompt today. I like to think that we have come a long way together, Dear Reader, and that you have learned to trust that I won’t get stuck on yesterday’s prompt and deceive you. Because it is the sixteenth day, this means that we have crossed over the perceptual barrier that separates the first half of this social media event from its second.
#RPGaDAY2025 DAY 15: DECEIVE
I could tell you that this is the sixteenth day of #RPGaDAY2025 but that would be a lie and I would never intentionally deceive you. However, deceive is our prompt today and I am happy to explore some appropriate elements of deception with you, Dear Reader, in regard to the campaign pitch we are considering. Before we do that, though, let’s clear the air about the date. Today is the fifteenth day of August which makes it the fifteenth day of our RPGaDAY event for 2025, and our prompt is Deceive.
#RPGaDAY2025 DAY 14: MYSTERY
This is day fourteen of #RPGaDAY2025 and so it’s time for mystery to be our prompt. So far, we have established a framework to recruit initial, additional, and subsequent characters as needed to an ongoing cause. What it is time to start considering is a pivotal moment where as far as the characters are concerned, the time for inaction has passed. From this point forward, something must be done.
#RPGaDAY2025 DAY 13: DARKNESS
This is day thirteen of #RPGaDAY2025 and we have come now to darkness. We are creeping closer to the middle of the event, and through the preceding prompts several of the conceptual frames of the campaign pitch we are using the prompts to build have begun to coalesce.
#RPGaDAY2025 DAY 12: PATH
This is day twelve of #RPGaDAY2025 and we have come to the word path as our prompt today. One common way to run mysteries and horror in RPGs is to think of a path from some crime or troubling past event and link it in stages via clues to some future ending point. This isn’t the only path we can follow~
