Weekend Three: Media

18. What art inspires your game?
19. What music enhances your game?

(There’s some kick-ass original art under the cut. So maybe check that out. Just saying.)

RPGaDay 2017, Day 28: What film or series is the most frequent source of quotes in your group?

RPGaDay is an annual celebration of tabletop roleplaying. This is the first year I’ve tried to do it.

What film or series is the most frequent source of quotes in your group?

Well, this is a bit of a cheat, but it’s probably The Lord of the Rings, purely because we’re playing a game of The One Ring at the moment. If I was in a Force and Destiny game, it’d probably be Star Wars. Outside of games we’re currently playing, I don’t know what series we quote most often. My groups have a lot of different tastes.

RPGaDay 2017, Day 13: Describe a game experience that changed how you play.

Describe a game experience that changed how you play.

This example might seem a little shallow, but the Dungeon World campaign that I ran in 2015 was when I really decided that accents are great and that I should use them more often. There’s a rundown of some of the accents I used in that game in my blog post 10 things I learned running Dungeon World (part 1). It wasn’t the first time I had used accents in a game, but I’ve used them regularly since, particularly as a player character. For example:

• Pheric, my cowbell-playing Pathfinder barbarian, sounded like Christopher Walken the Bruce Dickinson;
• G’Wayn, my Knight of the Round Table in CAMELOT Trigger, had a Scottish accent, which forced the GM to affect three different Scottish accents for other members of G’Wayn’s family;
• Ted Bracegirdle, my Hobbit in The One Ring, has a West Country accent inspired by the best Hobbit of all.
