#RPGaDay2026 Starts Tomorrow!

Each August I do two things gaming-related. 

1) Watch videos of the "Running of the Geeks" the first day the doors open for the vendor hall at GenCon

2) Actively participate in #RPGaDay , the community activity where we cover a prompt or topic and talk about our love of RPGS.   

#RPGaDay starts tomorrow!   There's still time to tweet, post, blog, vlog, podcast, or yell from the heavens each day. 

It's really not hard, especially just social media/tweet level.   This will be my 13th year participating.

Here are the prompts again.... 

.... and if you can't think of an amusing gaming anecdote or topic, they've provided near-alternative topics to work from!  

In reality, they're a practical question for the prompt, not a different and unique one. 

You'll see the tags for #RPGaDay and #RPGaDay2026 everywhere.  I prefer #RPGaDay2026 to track year by year.
