RPGaDay2019 - Ancient - Classical Hack

My dad's obsession with Ancients, the Romans in particular, set me on a path to play RPGs.  

Lately, he has been on to bigger and better stuff. From his Facebook page: 

Or his webpage, Classical Hack.com: 

My dad has a passion, and he passed that on to not just me but many people. I love that. Check out all of his titles, produced by my mom at LMW Works. 

RPGaDay2019 - Space - SF-0

I wanted to switch things up an ran a Star Frontiers campaign, starting with SF-0. My players broke the scenario horribly, but it was fun as hell. They managed to get their hands on every survival pack in the shuttle by capturing pirates using a stunner. Then they liquidated them on the surface of the planet.

They were the kings of ambush tactics.  

RPGaDay2019 - Share - The Music

My friend Mark would create a mix tape for each campaign and hand them out. They were themed to the scenarios and what he planned. He would quietly play one for our sessions.

I lost every one of those tapes, but damn did they leave a memory. Good thing, too. I don't own a cassette player.

One of my favorite songs from all of those tapes was Biko.



He shared more than he knew. This song still raises goosebumps every time I hear it.

#RPGaDay2019 - Engage - "Engage!"

From '87 to '94, all of our games, D&D or otherwise, started with the word: "Engage!" We would gather at a friends house and do all of our housekeeping while watching Star Trek: The Next Generation.

More often than not the episode ended with Picard saying "Engage!" and the end credits rolled. We complied.

RPGaDay2019 - Unique - Red Spot

Every campaign is unique. A friend based his campaign on the Chronicles of Naria and no one noticed, we were all bemused by a serious, somber Father Christmas needing help. 

Another DM determined that all red Will-o-Wisps were good and helpful creatures. They became ubiquitous in his campaign and even had their own sound effects. After a while, we all noticed that they were the Red Spots from the 7-Up ads.
