#RPGaDay Day 16: Game you wish you owned

trfadmin # # # # #

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 16, our question is what is the game you wish you owned?

Aser – But I want so many…! I think at the top of the list would be Edge of the Empire, or pretty much any Star Wars RPG, something that frustrates me because the game is out, but not available in a format I can enjoy. But I also want some of the now out of print licensed stuff like Star Trek, Babylon 5 and Battlestar Galactica. The Warhammer family of games also holds a great deal of appeal. Oh yeah, and Trail of Cthulhu, right John?

John – Probably ‘Trail of Cthulhu’ or ‘Night’s Black Agents’

Megan – Since Aser got me Laundry Files recently, I have to go with The Dresden Files.

Shaunna – The Strange–grrr–I preordered the deluxe corebook and my order has been “glitched” and “cancelled”, so I’m envious of the people who are starting to get their copies in the mail!

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 15, our question is what is your favorite convention game?

Aser – I haven’t done con games, though think they could be a lot of fun.

John – never been to a Con. Maybe next year?

Landan – At Geekly Con 2014 playing in a Pathfinder Game DM’d by The Redacted Files own Nika Howard, and a Call of Cthulhu game DM’d by Veronica and Josh of Cthulhu and Friends. It may not have been a true convention but I am counting it.

Megan – Same as earlier, never been to one

Shaunna – Never been to a convention–maybe GeeklyCon2015?

#RPGaDay Day 13: Most Memorable Character Death

trfadmin # # # # # #

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 13, our question is what is your most memorable character death?

Aser – My favorite character death is still my first, where I manipulated the situation to draw attention away from my character’s lover by falsely admitting his guilt. That was fun.

John – My first game of 1st Ed AD&D, my half-orc assassin found a magic spear three rooms into the dungeon; threw it to test it out. DM random roll proved it to be a cursed spear of back-biting and it came back around and killed me!

Landan – The death of Tum Darkblade on the Drunks & Dragons podcast, and then every character Veronica the GM for Cthulhu & Friends podcast has killed or taken control over. I think Xander and Anya were my favorites on how they ended. You didn’t specify it had to be a character I played which would be none.

Megan – I’ve never had one of my characters die, and have only killed one PC. So I’ll go with TRF’s episode of Final Girl, Dead Wrong. I loved the deaths on the catwalk, the creepy inescapable doom.

Shaunna – I haven’t had any character deaths!

#RPGaDay Day 12: Old RPG you still play/read

trfadmin # # # # # #

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 12, our question is what is an old RPG you still play/read?

Aser – I still have a soft spot for Call of Cthulhu and the 1990s Delta Green. We’ll have to see whether the new editions coming out carve out a new niche in my heart.

John – red box D&D I love it so! X1 Isle of Dread, Top Ballista, Tall Tales of the Wee Folk, Shadow Elves, Gazeteers… Sigh.

Landan – None at the moment

Megan – I guess Call of Cthulhu, most of what I play is more recent.

Shaunna – It’s a new hobby for me…nothing’s old yet!

#RPGaDay Day 11: Weirdest RPG Owned

trfadmin # # # # # #

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 11, our question is what is the weirdest RPG you own?

Aser – We have too many contenders for this prize, I’ll have to get back to you when we start writing game reviews.

Landan – Fiasco it is fun to play but definitely gets the most weird.

John – weirdest? Maybe Lords of Creation: intended for god-level advancement, you could meet Greek Gods or Mantis people or androids and mix settings as you learned to control space and time, reality itself.

Megan – I own a bunch that I haven’t had a chance to play yet thanks to Bundle of Holding, so out of the ones I’ve played maybe Final Girl? I like that it uses a deck of cards instead of dice. We just need to get Fortune’s Fool and play one with Tarot cards, or Dread and use a jenga tower!

Shaunna – Numenera

#RPGaDay Day 10: Favorite tie-in Novel / Game Fiction

trfadmin # # # # # #

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 10, our question is what is your favorite tie-in Novel / Game Fiction?

Aser – I haven’t gotten to read any of it as yet, but the Warhammer 40k fiction just seems utterly fascinating to me.Its over-the-top violence, bleakness and decadence just seems so, well, delightfully over-the top. I have to try those novels.

John – Ravenloft and Dark Sun novels

Landan -Currently it would be Star Wars but we will see how The Dresden Files turns out

Megan – Does Dresden Files count? Because I have more then a slight obsession with those. I have a couple of Warhammer 40k books a friend lent me, but haven’t gotten to them yet.

Shaunna – Jaeludra fan fiction

#RPGaDay Day 9: Favorite Die/Dice Set

trfadmin # # # # # # #

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 9, our question is what is your favorite die/dice set??

Aser – My favorite set of dice is one that doesn’t exist yet.It’s a standard set Megan got for me that has one very interesting thing distinguishing it from other sets of dice, all seven dice are labeled in braille. This will mean I’ll actually get to roll dice in an RPG. How cool is that?

Ashleigh – I’m not normally a super girly person, but I love my sparkly opal d20 set!

John – My red and black Eclipse Phase/Call of Cthulhu d10 set, originally for TOP SECRET, S.I. For d20, my blue and red speckled clear set I’ve had since High School.

Landan -The next set of dice I buy.

Megan – When I GM my favorite set is my Cthulhu dice, the green set that also glows in the dark. They just seem appropriate for trying to murder my PCs. When I play I use a slate/blue Chessex set Aser got for me. It’s hard to choose though, I love all my dice.

Shaunna – I love ALL THE COLORS, can’t choose just one!

#RPGaDay Day 8: Favorite character

trfadmin # # # # # # #

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 8, our question is what is your favorite character?

Aser – My favorite character in any game I’ve ever played in isn’t one of mine.It’s easily Lieutenant Michael O’Shea from PX Poker Night. I really hope that guy makes it to the end credits on that one… I really haven’t had enough experience to single out one character as being my best from the ones I’ve played so far. The closest might be Kelner, the dishonorable jack who murders from our as yet unreleased Numenèra prequel campaign. He was the first character I ever put together to do one thing really well, and that was kill people. When he connected, it really seemed like I’d accomplished something.

Ashleigh – I once played a 4e Revenant who was, essentially, an undead Mountie. Maxed out charisma – she was horrifying looking but SUPER polite and stereotypically Canadian.

John – Rulane, 15th Level basic D&D Thief and Dr. S.Q. Widworth, Eclipse Phase Octomorph Psychologist

Landan – All the ones I have played I can honestly say that I can’t pick one I severely dislike.

Megan – My very first character, Khan. She was a Explorator for Rogue Trader, and I loved being a Tech Priest, with my awesome power ax, servitor skull named Bob, and worship of the Omnissiah. She’s also the only character I’ve painted a miniature for…

Shaunna – Elodie, my current Pathfinder druid

#RPGaDay Day 7: Most “Intellectual” RPG Owned

trfadmin # # # # # #

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 7, our question is what is the most “intellectual” RPG you own?

Aser – Intellectual games? I guess I’m guilty for liking the idea more than I follow up on it. Megan and I have some great RPGs that operate on a level far above that of the typical murderhobo adventure, but not having engaged with them all that much yet, I can’t really comment on whether they deliver on that promise.

John – Tie between Call of Cthulhu and Eclipse Phase

Landan – I am not sure how to answer this I would think all RPG’s are intellectual.

Megan – Eclipse Phase had the character creation that made me most want to turn around and flee. But I think probably Numenera. I like the fluidity of the system and how there are so many options to solve problems with the cyphers, oddities, and artifacts.

Shaunna – Call of Cthulhu again, probably?
