TRF is taking part in #RPGaDay! We’ll answer each question as a group, and would love to hear your responses as well, here or on Twitter. We missed updating the first day, but here you go!

For August 1, our question is what is the first RPG you played?

Aser – First RPG, that would be Fiasco, one of the infamous Stephisodes to be exact. I had wanted to get into RPGs for a while and jumped at the opportunity to play this hilarious game with some really funny people, two of which now have to put up with me in the Mysteries of the Ninth World campaign.:P

John – Red box D&D, age 7, Orc broadswordsman.

Landan – Technically it would be one night playing Advanced Dungeons & Dragons in High School. I honestly never understood the system that well when learning it. Then a few months later Dungeons & Dragons v3.0 hit and it made more sense. It was way easier trying to learn in my opinion and the group I played with stuck with it for several years.

Megan – I started RPG’s in grad school and my first game was Rogue Trader, a Warhammer 40k game. I didn’t actually play anything requiring a d20 for a couple of years.

Shaunna – DX, also known Tristat

For August 2, our question is what is the first RPG you ran?

Aser – First game GMed,that was Fate Accelerated.We’d wanted to do some Fate content for TRF and some great folks from the Geekly community stepped upp to the plate.I won’t claim everything went perfectly, but I’d like to think I gave everyone their moment in the spotlight and delivered a fun night of criminal hijinks.

John – Red box D&D intro module age 12

Landan – None, part of me would like to try Pathfinder or Edge of Empire maybe, but I know I would be a super lenient DM/GM.

Megan – The first game I ever ran was Pathfinder, using the Rise of the Runelords campaign. I wanted to try 4e, but my friends were opposed to the system, so we stuck with Pathfinder instead. We never finished that campaign though…

Shaunna – Hopefully the 5e starter set
