David F (Autocratik) Chapman and Anthony (Runeslinger) Boyd have been busy again coming up with prompts to inspire us through August.
As always, the idea is to blog, vlog, draw, generate characters or otherwise create something to share with the RPG community related to the daily prompts ,to celebrate everything that’s cool with our hobby, starting on 1st August and running throughout the month.
Anthony’s introduction is here.
The prompts are in the image, and here for ease of reference:
- 1st: Discipline
- 2nd: Stature
- 3rd: Poise
- 4th: Charm
- 5th: Burden
- 6th: Reach
- 7th: Mercy
- 8th: Resolve
- 9th: Privilege
- 10th: Secret
- 11th: Tact
- 12th: Loss
- 13th: Strain
- 14th: Regard
- 15th: Endurance
- 16th: Composure
- 17th: Intensity
- 18th: Directness
- 19th: Desire
- 20th: Promise
- 21st: Charity
- 22nd: Grit
- 23rd: Fortune
- 24th: Distance
- 25th: Familiarity
- 26th: Regret
- 27th: Hunger
- 28th: Devotion
- 29th: Labour
- 30th: Pride
- 31st: Edge
If you find those prompts a bit sparse and uninspiring, Anthony has created questions around each one on his page, but I have to say I have usually found the freedom of interpretation of single-word prompts easier.
Want more inspiration? Each week has a theme:
- Week 1 – Drive
- Week 2 – Intellect
- Week 3 – Associates
- Week 4 – Instinct
- Week 5 – Emotion
- Week 6 – Ability
And the days of the week have the classic themes from the rhyme:
- Monday – Fair of Face
- Tuesday – Full of Grace
- Wednesday – Full of Woe
- Thursday – Far to Go
- Friday – Loving & Giving
- Saturday – Works Hard
- Sunday – Blessed
