GLOGtober '24

TitleKnown

    The gretchlings are coming! The gretchlings are coming! Hide your valuables and your ideas, for the gretchlings are coming! The rules for GLOGtober 2024:

• 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 ‘23. Each “challenge” you roll a d6; this is your prompt. If you don’t like it, I dunno, just pick something I guess.
• 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.
