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.
For August 29, our question is what your most memorable encounter?
Aser – My favorite encounter has to have been during the second session of Redacted Files. Lieutenant Prescott and Tech Sergeant Carpenter had forged a good working relationship and set aside their mutual suspicion in order to figure out what was going on at Platte AFB, then John and I both failed will saves and the next thing we knew we’re on the verge of violence in the confines of a pickup truck’s cab. Luckily someone else on the base failed their will save and created a more pressing threat for both PCs to focus on.
John – so many good memories, but probably in my first game (D&D) when I was 7 and my older stepbrother and I played brother orcs in a game DMed by the oldest of my three brothers… Mark thought he could tackle a giant spider but failed his save and was rounds from death when I fed him a healing potion and killed the spider with one swing of my broadsword. I never forgot that day; I rubbed it his face, and it started me on the path to rpg nerddom. For 30 years I have more or less been a roleplayer!
Landan – I have several and it would be lengthy to post here. I will try and write them on my blog at some point soon. If you’re interested it’s going to be at http://solemnlyrian.wordpress.com/
Megan – My party was defending a fort in Only War, and a bunch of Orks attacked. My psyker took about 35 points of damage to the head in one round from suppressive fire, and I had to burn my only fate point to save her. She came out of it with terrible facial scarring and it dropped her fellowship down to a dismal 11. While she was recovering in the hospital, two other PCs decided to give her a poisoned cake because, well, psyker. She made it through however…
Shaunna – Those weird statues in our Numenera game. We STILL don’t know why they were there, where they came from, or basically anything about them.
