Sphere of Annihilation, one of the blogs I met via the A to Z Challenge, brought to my attention a similar item. #RPGaDAY is an event where gaming writers are asked to answer a series of questions, one per day during August, with personal anecdotes and opinions about gaming. The A to Z Challenge was a ton of fun, so I figured I might as well run this one too.
One thing I have noticed as I worked on the questions was that this event is a lot more about the author. The A to Z Challenge could be about anything, so I spent it bragging about my players. I can’t really do that here because most of the questions are of the “who are you and what do you think?” variety. It kind of makes me a bit uncomfortable, and that’s probably just because I’m old. I can only spend so much time talking about myself, but that’s probably what I should expect from any event that puts a hashtag in its name.
This is bearing itself out in the posts I’ve done so far. In April my posts averaged around 500 words, and in August they’ll average around 200. If you’re not interested in that sort of thing, come back in September. I’ll compile all the posts at the end of the month and probably link to them from the “About” page, and then we’ll get into the Zelda Campaign postmortems. If you are sticking around, feel free to share or link or do whatever you do with the hashtag #RPGaDAY. I don’t know how to work this newfangled social media nonsense.
