So I’ve been writing tabletop roleplaying games off and on for over thirty years now. None of them are very good, but I’ve had a lot of fun with them, and have learned a lot in the process. That is why I plan to post my progress on my current game here on this website, and eventually release it for free here and hopefully on other outlets (DriveThru RPG, for example). But that’s for the future, we’ll get there in time.
What I would like to talk about today are my influences, TTRPGs that had an impact on my design concepts, writing style, and so forth. What I’d like to do is write regular blogs about each of these games… I had planned to do so here today, but work was busy this week, so it will have to wait for a couple of weeks. Regardless, I’ll be writing up little blogs about these games… some old, and some much newer… talking about what aspects of these games impacted me the most. Some I discussed here before the last Website Apocalypse, which of course wiped out all of those former articles, and some will be new to you.
Anyway, I have a good one coming soon, so keep a look out for it.
… Oh and yes, that is my collection of TTRPGs (pictured above), at least a good portion of it. That photo was taken in 2022, if I recall properly, and I’ve added a lot more over the last three years.
