15. Longest campaign played The longest game I’ve ever played was (QAGS co-founder) Leighton Connor’s “Ficton” super-hero game (not to be confused with The Hex Ficton), which I’ve mentioned here before. It think it lasted around six years, but I’m not sure if it would technically be considered a single campaign; the climax was rooted…
I just found out about the #RPGaDay2015 meme that’s going around. Since I’m coming in halfway through (and since a lot of my answers to the early questions are very short), I’m going do the first 14 of them today, start doing the “A Day” part tomorrow with #15 and post a new one every…
Role-playing is like Vegas: What happens at the game table should stay at the game table. That’s not because gaming stories are scandalous, it’s because it’s very rare for gaming stories to be the slightest bit interesting to anyone outside of the group of people who played the game. A lot of of them boil…
The Awesome People Hanging Out Together blog, as the name implies, features pictures of awesome people hanging out together. The blog basically just posts pics with absolutely no context, so you’ve got to guess at what brought them together. Why not make the reason something that you can use in a game?

This weeks’ table is by QAGS co-creator Leighton Connor (who also wrote GILGAMESH! and Laser Ponies and co-authored Leopard Women of Venus). You can use this one whenever your mad scientist or engineer character needs to sound like he’s doing something complicated. But before we get to the table, we should mention that Hex…
To go along with the Reverb Gamers thing Atlas is doing, here are my answers to the GM Questionnaire from another blog. I couldn’t pass up a list with such as perfect number of questions. 1. If you had to pick a single invention in a game you were most proud of what would it be?…
REVERB GAMERS 2012, #20: What was the most memorable character death you’ve ever experienced? What makes it stick with you? (Courtesy of Atlas Games. Visit us them www.atlas-games.com) Since I usually play in very story/character-driven games, there aren’t a whole lot of deaths and when characters do die it’s always dramatically appropriate, and therefore memorable,…
REVERB GAMERS 2012, #18: Have you ever “cheated” on a die roll/random chance outcome, or looked up a quest solution on a fan site? Why or why not? If yes, was it worth it? (Courtesy of Atlas Games. Visit them at www.atlas-games.com) Have I ever cheated on a roll? Well sure. I’m reasonably sure that…
Here we are nearly halfway through the first month of 2010 and there hasn’t been a new installment of “Hexagrams” since sometime back in September, so you’re probably a little curious about what Hex has planned for the coming year. We’ve meant to update this column for a while, but we’ve been kind of busy…
