| 279 RPGaDay 2024 Days 3, 4, 5, 6 | 07 Aug 2024 | 00:09:55 | |
#RPGaDay 2024! Apologies, I've been remiss in putting in my RPGaDay 2024 entries -- Day 3 Warhammer Fantasy is the most played. I don't have the chart done yet, but based on 1 game a week with a handful of misses, that seems to be the winner. Traveller is close 2nd! Day 4 Warhammer Fantasy gets another nod! It has had great art since the 1st Edition an continues to show the Grim Dark Old World in a fantastic, and sometimes phantasmagoric way! Day 5 The RPG with Great Writing -- [Only because Reaver isn't out yet], for me is Hyperborea. Love the Swords, Sorcery, and Weird Science vibe. Love Jeff's use of funny words and 'mis-spelling'of armor, and color... Day 6 The RPG that is most easy to use (i.e. little prep, and short learning curve) is Call of Cthulhu. Also a call in from Joe Salvador of Raven God Games (https://ravengodgames.blogspot.com/)...he gives some hints about his game world! Cover clip art by Amy Lee Rodriguez.
