RPGaDay 2025. Days 1 and 2, or the ballad of cussing Goldberry.

 Oh it's RPGaDay again and as I've got a blog, I may as well answer some of the prompts.

Albeit late.

Day 1: Patron

So Patrons then. An unkind blogger may say that Patrons are just a way for the GM to railroad the players (It's not me making you fight the dragon it's that shady wizard you work for) but lets ignore that.

So I was thinking about patrons and how I hadn't played many games with hem then I remembered The One Ring, which seems to do patrons right. And also I can talk about my adventures in the Shire. 

Anyway we were playing online and getting close to the end of an adventure but also it was quite late at night. We had encountered Tom Bombadil and Goldberry who had offered up a song that would help on the quest but we the players were messing around instead. 

So the frustrated GM, in Goldberry's voice, said something along the lines of "Look, take this fucking song and sing it at [redacted quest location]" to much hilarity.

And thus Sweary Goldberry was our new patron. 

Day2: Prompt

So the prompt is prompt. How meta.  Let's roll some dice to get some more inspiration: Why, Envious, Lesson. Doesn't help much.

Hmmm... why am I envious of GM's with players who are prompt when it comes to their turns? Is there anything I can learn from them? Probaby. But would I? Probably not.
