GLoGtober '22: Under New Management

    GLoGtober is back, this time under new leadership… me! Sundered has handed me the reins to continue the eldritch tradition of GLoGtober, and continue it I shall. Here are the rules for this year’s iteration:

• The prompt list (this post) will be released in September, giving time for people to write their content to post in October.
• There are seven d6 tables, each containing potential prompts. These d6 tables were created by some of the top contributors to GLoGtober ‘21. Each “challenge” you roll a d6; this is your prompt. If you don’t like it, roll again until you get one you want.
• Even though the title references the GLoG, your contributions don’t necessarily have to be related to the GLoG. If you want to write a MÖRK BORG background or Troika! adventure based on one of the prompts, go for it. The point of GLoGtober is that you’re making RPG material.
• There are no prizes or badges. This is just an event meant to facilitate creative and interesting blogposts.
