#ttrpg #artchallenge Day 31 - Apocalypse World (Grayson)

Wrapping up this challenge with my first Apocalypse World campaign. Grayson was a Maestro D who ran a diner on an old military base very much divided between its ex-military and civilian trader factions.

#ttrpg #artchallenge Day 30 - Masks (PC)

I've played as well as ran Masks quite a few times. Charli, aka Tremor, was a former villain turned hero who went to Phoenix Academy. She punched a dragon, got forced to betray the team, and saved the world a couple times.

#ttrpg #artchallenge Day 29 - Stewpot

I played this GMless adventurer retirement game about a month ago. Lily was a paladin of the Living God Zarel who retired to become a carpenter and stonecutter at The Wizard's Boot.

#ttrpg #artchallenge Day 28 - Apocalypse World (Agatha)

Apocalypse World is a game that creates experiences that I can't really get from any other game. Agatha was an investigator who joined up with a boat pilot and an amnesiac to uncover the mysteries of the world. They also became a polycule.

#ttrpg #artchallenge Day 27 - Burning Wheel

Burning Wheel is one of the games that inculcated my love for lifepath systems. Vivianne was a lawyer who wrote a constitution for a failed revolutionary state that ended up influencing politics across the setting thereafter.

#ttrpg #artchallenge Day 26 - Firebrands (Landowners)

Some more Firebrands goodness! You can tell how much I love this game. Reverie was a military-type turned hero of the Revolution, while Dox was an ex-mafiosa who learned that maybe there was something more to life than just living for today.

#ttrpg #artchallenge Day 25 - The Wildsea

I played a one-shot of this flying among giant trees post-apocalypse game earlier this year and would be interested to play it again at some point. Post was a quiet Wordbearer working on the restaurant ship The Tastemaker.

#ttrpg #artchallenge Day 24 - Firebrands (Bantraesh)

I adore playing Firebrands both as a one-shot and longform, with my most recent game ending only a few months ago. Matilda was a sidelined heir who became Queen of Bantral, while Nicoletta was a noble of divided loyalties who would leave Bantral.

#ttrpg #artchallenge Day 23 - DOGS

Dogs in the Vineyard continues to be one of the most intriguing games I've read, and DOGS does a very good job making it system agnostic. Roci Vilamosa was a phoenix-blooded pyromancer who was recruited as an imperial agent, an Eye of the Empress.

#ttrpg #artchallenge Day 22 - Golden Sky Stories

It was nice to run something this low-stakes last year. Cha, Koro, Nya, and Poyo were the NPC henge in the town of Kamuiyama, the "rival" group to the PCs who they were mostly friends with.

#ttrpg #artchallenge Day 21 - Urban Shadows

I've played this PbtA urban fantasy game a few times, but I only played a full campaign of it three years ago. Emma was an Oracle who saw visions of her own death and had an extremely complicated relationship with her powerful benefactor.
October 23, 2025 at 4:55 AM
#ttrpg #artchallenge Day 20 - Eyes on the Prize

I've played this game of fake marriage a few times, each in a different setting. Natalya, aka Lady Minerva, was a spy from a sisterhood of spies who entered into a fake noble marriage in a bid to assassinate the Galactic Chancellor.
October 22, 2025 at 1:37 AM
#ttrpg #artchallenge Day 19 - Heart: The City Beneath

I played Heart over the course of a year, delving into the nightmare that lies beneath. Ros was a Hound who broke free of the control of her former captors and ended up surviving (relatively) intact from the depths of the Heart.

#ttrpg #artchallenge Day 18 - Imperium Maledictum

I GM'd this 40K game last year in a subsector I've been working on on-and-off for a while. Galen and Glentz were guards of a Rogue Trader Dynasty assigned to protect (and test) the PCs, the Rogue Trader's nephew and a tech-priest.
October 20, 2025 at 1:17 AM
#ttrpg #artchallenge Day 17 - Befallen

Befallen is a game of obsession, corruption, and eldritch strangeness that I've played a few times. Cass is an ex-noble and Memento, a person cursed to be forgotten by anyone they meet unless they are left with a memento of the encounter.
October 18, 2025 at 6:46 AM
#ttrpg #artchallenge Day 16 - D&D 5e

I've played and DM'd a lot of 5e since I started playing TTRPGs, it was the first game I ever ran. Yinna was an air genasi wild magic sorcerer and flamenco dancer I played in two different streamed Tomb of Annihilation games six-ish years ago.
October 17, 2025 at 5:52 AM
#ttrpg #artchallenge Day 15 - Blades in the Dark (The Beacon)

The Doskvol Beacon was the name of the newspaper the crew in my last Blades in the Dark game that I GM'd ran. Octavius Netherton was the gruff but caring editor-in-chief of the paper, an established presence throughout the campaign.
October 16, 2025 at 6:45 AM
#ttrpg #artchallenge Day 14 - Scum & Villainy (Echo)

The Echo was a smuggling ship, the name of the ship's AI, and my first GM'd Scum & Villainy game. Yast was a former relic hunter who accidentally bonded with an artifact and joined the crew after they rescued her from a cult ritual.
October 15, 2025 at 3:56 PM
#ttrpg #artchallenge Day 13 - Blades in the Dark (Coral Snakes)

The Coral Snakes were a crew of assassins and the first Blades in Dark game I ever GM'd about four years ago. Prichard was an Inspector created out of a Devil's Bargain in the first session and ended up as a major NPC and client.
October 14, 2025 at 6:35 PM
#ttrpg #artchallenge Day 12 - Mythic Bastionland

I played a three-shot of this fantasy Arthuriana-esque game in-person a few months ago. Landry was the Free Knight, a serious and somewhat surly member of her retinue who fought an undead army, the source of the River, and a terrible Beast.
October 13, 2025 at 11:40 PM
#ttrpg #artchallenge Day 11 - Scum & Villainy (Pandora)

The Pandora was a ship full of amnesiacs ala Dark Matter. It was a fun challenge to modify the game to try taking memory into account. Raven was an operative for the Lost Legion and the handler for Zara, an ex-noble and one of the PCs.
October 13, 2025 at 7:04 PM
#ttrpg #artchallenge Day 10 - Court of Blades

I was a player on @rollwithitap.bsky.social's arc of this magical Renaissance FitD game. Gauntlet was a not-Swiss ex-mercenary and Fuse was criminal royalty-turned-revolutionary and romantic disaster, both working as cat's paws for House Bastien.
October 11, 2025 at 6:35 PM
#ttrpg #artchallenge Day 9 - The King is Dead

I've played The King is Dead several times now, both in one-shot and longform play. Thomasine was a warrior princess of the undead House Sandoreale I played in a longform fantasy game last year, determined to help retake their family's throne.
October 10, 2025 at 6:28 AM
#ttrpg #artchallenge Day 8 - Masks (NPC)

Masks is my favorite superhero TTRPG and one of my favorite games period. Factor was a mathemagician, ex-villain, Phoenix Academy teacher, and the foster mom of my Reformed in a game I did played/ran (hotseat GMing!) back in 2021-22.
October 9, 2025 at 5:56 AM
#ttrpg #artchallenge Day 7 - There's Been A Murder!

I made this Firebrands murder mystery game! This character, Lady Catherine Pembroke-Danton, was an impoverished noble masquerading as a servant who I played back in 2024. She wasn't the only one with a score to settle that day...
