#RPGaDay2025 - 2 Prompt

The controversial take here is an AI prompt, whether it’s fed into ChatGPT or an AI art generator of some type. While I’m familiar with that side of things, an answer more specifically focused on RPGs would be the idea of a partial idea that is offered in the hope that someone else will complete the connection. In that way, a prompt is an open collaborative storytelling technique. A GM might provide a situation and prompt a player to take action based on the circumstances around them, a player might prompt actions from the other players around them. They might prompt elements of the story that haven’t been completely defined yet. The offering of the prompt is where the collaborative creative process begins, and where the chance to create something special moves beyond the imagination of a single person.

This is where the uniqueness of roleplaying games as a hobby is felt in its purest form.

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 7)

A working computer and scanner...that means it is time to get back to work on the geomorph sequence. A lot of the discussion in this set of tutorials has been focused around square geomorphs. They're the easiest for most people to wrap their heads around.  But my preferred form of geomorph is based around the hexagon, these tend to produce more organic and interesting shapes. This is true for natural environments, but it's no less true for urban environments. The example set of geomorphs above as a simple two-phase system. One edge type is plain, the other edge type has a road piercing the centre. There could be dozens of combinations and permutations for each of the two phases around the hexagonal edges, but a quick look at the variety of buildings and road shapes shows that there could literally be hundreds of possible options when drawing these map fragments. But you certainly don't need to create hundreds of designs for the system to be effective. Usin...

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 1)

After numerous requests to get back to map tutorials, it's time to start our new series. This time focusing on the concept of geomorphs, modular map fragments that can be mixed and matched. We'll start with a couple of theoretical tutorials before sinking into a few more practical posts. I'm predicting a dozen or so posts in this sequence, but let's see how long it lasts.
