As mentioned in my last Actual Play post, we have two chapters remaining in Shadows of the Dragon Queen, and one of those is going to go fairly quickly. This means it’s time to start thinking about what the next game will be and taking it over with my group. Well, we have decided on our next campaign.

The campaign moves on to chapter 5, and a hex-crawl (which I tweaked to a Point Crawl).

The Things Your Tabletop RPG Needs
I’ve started the process of preparing for my next campaign, and pitching various games to my group, which has got me thinking about what makes an RPG easier for me to prep for and easier for me to sell my players on.

Read moreThe Things Your Tabletop RPG Needs
Those who have been reading along with my Actual Play of Dragonlance: Shadows of the Dragon Queen, and who are familiar with the adventure itself, may have noticed that I’m past the halfway point of the adventure. Which means that I, as the GM, need to start thinking about what comes next. This has, in turn, had me looking over some of the game books that are in my collection and coming to some serious thoughts on what things a tabletop RPG needs to help with onboarding – based on what I think would help my players consider some of the more niche games in my collection.
