RPGaDay Day 9 – What are my favourite dice

RPGaDay prompt 9 is “Favourite DICE”. I’m a bit of a sucker for sets of funky dice, and if you’re reading this, I imagine you are, too. Here are my favourites, including @yarrostudios FlipDie.

RPGaDay 18 – Favourite Game System: The War Machine Mass Combat System

RPGaDay Day 5 – Oldest game you’ve played

RPGaDay day 2 – First RPG GAMEMASTER

Today’s prompt for RPGaDay is First RPG GAMEMASTER. Maybe I’ll answer this in two ways. My first dungeon master, as I said a few years back, was a friend who had the classic B2 Keep on the Borderlands.
