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 18, what innovation could RPG groups benefit most from?
\nAser<\/strong> – I think RPG groups could definitely benefit from improvements to telepresence technologies, to bridge the gap between online and tabletop gaming. I love gaming with the TRF crew, but I’m sure many wish they had a more interactive or immersive way of communicating with their friends while they play.
\nJohn D.<\/strong> – I think the advent of technology like Roll20 and app- or tablet- driven play is amazing even though I am old school. It really aids online play which itself is a major innovation that has helped the rpg boom… I think immersion in AR\/VR to include all five senses is the next leap forward (especially if it’s designed to be accessible to disabled gamers or emulate their experiences for abled players.)
\nJonn P.<\/strong> – This is an interesting question, at this point the things I believe would benefit groups have been around for too long to be called innovation. A social contract, verbal or written, is really important for forming new groups or recruiting for established groups.
\nMegan<\/strong> – I’m not the most innovative, but I’d love for online play to get a lot easier to manage. Roll20 is amazing, but it can be a little cumbersome.
\nMike G.<\/strong> – Anything that makes the GM\u2019s life easier and provides quicker interactions with players. Maybe a shared virtual tabletop\/library\/character depository that is affordable? Although I think those are out there now.
\nPatrick<\/strong> – I’d REALLY love to see some full immersion VR system where the DM has complete control over the landscape and such. For a great example, read the book Killobyte by Piers Anthony. think of a massive MMO world but only the players are the only active people.
\nPhil<\/strong> – Tablet (iPad) character sheets built for the specific game that handle everything, including rolling, and communicate with a GM app to make their tasks easier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
