31 Day D&D Challenge

My good friend over at Shichitenhakki undertook this challenge a few years ago and I enjoyed reading his experiences (it all starts here, to save you hunting).

What better (and geekier) way to get back into blogging than to undertake my own attempt? Certainly, as a challenge, it’s better than tipping a bucket of ice on your head or driving blind-folded through peak-hour traffic. So here is my (slightly updated) 31 day D&D challenge for the month of March.

The questions:

Day 1 – How did you start with the game?
Day 2 – Favourite edition
Day 3 – Favourite playable Race
Day 4 – Favourite playable Class
Day 5 – Favourite game setting
Day 6 – Which pantheon appeals to you the most
Day 7 – Favourite character you have played
Day 8 – Favorite character you haven’t played
Day 9 – Craziest thing that’s happened that you saw (to party/character/your players etc)
Day 10 – Favourite adventure you’ve run
Day 11 – Favourite dungeon type/location
Day 12 – Favourite trap/puzzle
Day 13 – Favourite NPC
Day 14 – What is your go-to monster (as a DM) / favourite monster as a player?
Day 15 – What is your least favourite monster?
Day 16 – What creature would you use as a familiar

Day 18 – DM style – do you prefer “fully detailed to the nth degree” or “wing it”?
Day 19 – Gaming style – do you prefer role-playing or maximising the stats?
Day 20 – Session style – do you prefer one-shot delves, or lengthy campaigns?
