[QUOTE="AngusA, post: 7723012, member: 57758"] It’s August and that means that the annual #RPGaDAY ‘question a day’ is here to celebrate [hq]“everything cool, memorable and amazing about our hobby.”[/hq] This year we’ve decided to join in the fun and will be canvassing answers from the ENWorld crew, columnists and friends in the industry to bring you some of our answers. We hope you’ll join in, in the comments section, and share your thoughts with us too… So, without further ado, here’s Day 28 of #RPGaDAY 2017!
