Each year we celebrate Autocratik\u2019s #RPGaDay, where we spend a month celebrating RPGs, discussing what we love and what we love about them. Here are the responses of the TRF crew. Be sure to tweet, blog, or post your own with the #RPGaDay!<\/p>\n

For August 2, what has been your best game session since August 2015?<\/p>\n

Aser<\/strong> – There have been so many, it’s really hard to pick one that stands out as the best. If I had to pick though, I’d have to say it would be the Delta Green game I ran at GeeklyCon, the first time I’d ever run a game in person. I am so glad it was Delta Green, that I was able to introduce the game to a whole new group of players, and that they had fun watching their whole world come apart around them. I love it when everyone around the table buys into the particular brand of crazy the GM is selling and business was good that afternoon.
\nJohn D.\u00a0<\/strong> –\u00a0Wow, that’s tough.\u00a0 Maybe the playtest for Delta Green’s ‘The Star Chamber’ as we each had two characters and the stories kept contradicting each other. Megan GM’d that real tight too.
\nJonn P.<\/strong> – That is a hard decision because there have been a few over the past year. I narrowed it down to two sessions and but will talk about the one that doesn’t contain Rising Awakening spoilers.
\nMy Wednesday gaming crew wrapped up a year-long campaign called Mysterious Tavern. It was mostly collaborative storytelling game\u2014the D&D ruleset got incidental usage. The GM had presented a whimsical setting where the is a strong sense of realism, with sudden jarring shifts towards the stylized. Khyrs is good at changing the mood and tone to warp tradition themes and challenge PC way of thinking.
\nI was playing Captain Morgan Roberts; a merchant-rogue turn corsair who was chivalrous but suffered from alcoholism and an irrational hatred for spell casters. During the session, she revealed that the adolescent child that he’d grown attached had hidden the fact she was skilled sorceress in addition to being the younger sister of a sorceress he had been butting heads with the majority of the campaign. The conflict created by the clashing of the relationship, his beliefs, and his motivations\u2014not to mention the present danger\u2014made for some great drama and memorable spotlight moment for Morgan in the campaign.
\nLandan<\/strong> – In Rise of the Runelords when Megan had a Deck of Many things pop up in the loot and amazing things happened.
\nMegan<\/strong> – I think the finale of Mysteries of the Ninth World, episode 25. It was the wrap up of the first long term campaign I wrote myself, and I put a lot of planning into the whole thing. Seeing it all culminate in a really great session was very rewarding.
\nMike G.<\/strong> –\u00a0We played a Fiasco game where we all belonged to a community theater.\u00a0The way we messed with each other throughout, had to go \u201coff script\u201d at\u00a0random moments, and just how dark and sinister the \u00a0hole thing became\u00a0still makes me laugh at odd moments.
\nPatrick<\/strong> – Mostly spoiler free : It involves a Wendigo, a Bronze Dragon, and a really really good good initiative roll.
\nPhil<\/strong> – There are too many to pick one, but many of them involve beheadings…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
