Last year we celebrated Autocratik’s #RPGaDay, where we spend a month celebrating RPGs, discussing what we love and what we love about them. Here are the responses of the TRF crew. Be sure to tweet, blog, or post your own with the #RPGaDay!

For August 9, What is your favorite media you wish was an RPG?

Aser: I’d like to see another Star Trek RPG, old continuity of course.
Chuck: What hasn’t been made into a RPG yet?
John: The Dark Crystal and Trans-Formers.
Jonn: I can’t think of one that isn’t a RPG already. I would be surprised if even MSNBC, Fox News or CNN lacked a TTRPG. -_-
Landan: Well I think with the Cypher System Rulebook being as open ended as it seems so far most things you can make into one if you either can’t find a system or don’t like the one that was created.
Matt: I’m sure it exists and I just haven’t seen it, but I would enjoy a Star Trek RPG. I’ve only given the Firefly RPG a cursory glance, but I’ve toyed with the idea of trying to reskin it to fit more of a Star Trek aesthetic
Megan: I would love to play a game in Rapture or Columbia. I love the Bioshock worlds and it would be a lot of fun.
Patrick: The Furies of Calderon by Jim Butcher
Rob: Gravity Falls

For August 5, What is your most recent RPG purchase?
Aser: The Big Crime: It’s a game that sets out to recreate a story straight out of a film noir movie night, to a fault some will probably say, me among them. The game sounds like a lot of fun though, and I can’t wait until I have more exposure to the genre and can run it for Megan.
Chuck: Worlds Numberless and Strange: Monte Cook Games
John: Prob Onyx Path Dark Eras Kickstarter for the Hunter chapters on pdf.
Jonn: Firefly Roleplaying
Landan: I pre-ordered the Monte Cook Games Cypher System Rulebook and I am going to purchase the Occult Adventures for Pathfinder soon.
Matt: Shadows of Esteren and Feng Shui 2. Looking forward to trying both soon!
Megan: I just participated in DriveThruRPG’s Christmas in July so Stars of Empire, Monsterhearts, Horror Rules: The Simply Horrible Role-Playing Game, It’s Coming…, The Black Spot, Lost Days of Memories and Madness, and Control: The Game of Absolute Corruption.
Patrick: Iron Kingdoms
Rob: Firefly RPG

For August 4, What is the most surprising game?
Aser: Pathfinder: I may or may not have been dragged into playing A Rune Awakening, but I have to say, I’ve come to look forward to our Tuesday night sessions of Pathfinder as much as if not occasionally more than our other recurring games. There’s just something fun about watching those numbers go up: it’s really quite fascinating.
Chuck: Fate Accelerated, so simple and a fun system for supers play.
John: D&D 5th edition! It’s so fresh, streamlined, close to BECMI and fun!
Jonn: D&D 5e. After taking part in the playtest all the way through and seeing the changes that were made towards the end, I was convinced I was going to be very disappointed. A few of my favorite things were missing like were intentionally exclude warlord class and the seemingly unpopular goliath. What was include was great. I was really happy with the result of the fighter; disappointed by how they worded the bard inspiration to prevent it from interacting with combat expertise; and pleasantly surprised by the page 121.
Landan: I think Numenera since it is relatively easy to learn only has a few mechanics I constantly seem fuzzy on.
Matt: Fear Itself, I wasn’t totally sold on the Gumshoe system, but I had a really fun time playing this.
Megan: I think in general the small, indie games have been the most surprising for how much I enjoy them. It seems like everyone should be enjoyng them. This last year we’ve played Final Girl, Lovecraftian Shorts, Protocol, and Mars Colony have all been a great deal of fun to try out.
Patrick: Exalted, didn’t think I’d like it as much as I did.
Rob: Fiasco
