Hi, latest wave of Blueskites!

I'm Gaz, an American in Aotearoa, and you might see me in the background of your favorite shows and films. Occasionally I'm even in focus.

And if you're in Tamaki Makaurau (Auckland), you might see me in a play (I'm the chokee in the pic).

#RPGaDAY2023 still catching up

9) Favourite DICE are my lovely black and gold mini d6s (got a whole bunch of them for exploding dice games) (standard d6 for scale)

#RPGaDAY2023 Catchup time! Missed a couple days.

7) SMARTEST RPG: Here I'll go with Epidiah Ravachol's seminal horror RPG Dread. The use of Jenga to facilitate a rising sense of (indeed) dread is a marriage of mechanic and theme as yet unbeaten in my mind. Plus Eppy is a cool dude.

#RPGaDAY2023: OLDEST game.

Rolemaster (1st ed and then revised), which I played with my GM Casey in the mid-late 80's. I remember the endless tables of character options -- at one point I played a barbarian who was allergic to conifers.

#RPGaDAY2023 Day 4: A bit of a repeat here as the DIE RPG I mentioned yesterday is still my most RECENT game bought (we've been on a pretty tight gaming budget this year).

If you don't know it, DIE is a portal fantasy TTRPG based on the excellent graphic novel by Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hans.

#RPGaDAY2023 Day 2:

First GAMEMASTER would be me, figuring out Red Box D&D with the help of my fellow Cub Scout adventurers.

First who wasnt me: Casey Worthington, running D&D and Rolemaster through middle school.
