#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!

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?

#RPGaDay Day 6: Favourite RPG Never Get to Play

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 6, our question is what is your favorite RPG you never get to play?

Aser – Anyone who’s ever talked to me about gaming has probably had to sit through me going on and on about Delta Green. As much as I love classic Call of Cthulhu, I love this modern take on the mythos and wish I could actually play a game or two. Stay tuned for more on that by the way….;)

John – Probably Eclipse Phase as our live group just dissolved due to life commitments…also I had the 4th edition book since 1992 and played my first game last year!

Landan – I really like the concept and mechanics I have read in the Star Wars: Edge of Empire books but since it mostly wants you to play in the era of the Jedi Purge. So because of this it doesn’t focus on Jedi or Sith and most my friends don’t want to play it.

Megan – Does Numenera count? I’ve always GM’ed it, never played it. I also really want to play Dresden Files, but the one time I had a chance, the group iced me out once they found out I wasn’t a guy…

Shaunna – There’s never enough Fiasco in my life

#RPGaDay Day 5: Most Old School 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 5, our question is what is the most old school RPG you own?

Aser – I’m really new to RPGs, so it’s all new to me. The oldest thing I have would probably be D20 Modern, and D&D 3.5.

John – You guessed it, Red Box D&D

Landan – It would be several books from the Saga Ed. rulebooks for Star Wars RPG back when Wizards of the Coast still had the rights.

Megan – Probably Pathfinder…I guess I’m not very old school.

Shaunna – Chaosium 6th Ed. Call of Cthulhu

#RPGaDay Day 4: Most Recent RPG Purchased

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 4, our question is what is your most recent RPG purchase?

Aser – I recently asked on Twitter whether people would be interested in a story of mythos horror set in the Firefly universe. And well, I guess some people were. So I am, as of last Thursday, the proud owner of the new Firefly Role-Playing Game. 😛 Let it never be said that I won’t put my money where my mouth is.

John – Age of Cthulhu 8, Starfall Over the Plateau of Leng adventure

Landan – As far as system to play it would be The Dresden Files RPG using FATE rules. If you are talking just a book in general dealing with a particular world or rule set it would be the Inner Sea Gods book for Pathfinder.

Megan – I just bought Spycraft for TRF to play! Or was the One Roll Engine Humble Bundle with Godlike, Wild Talents, and Better Angels more recent? I bought them about the same time.

#RPGaDay Day 3: First RPG Purchased

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 3, our question is what is the first RPG you ever purchased?

Aser – Funny story, the first RPG I bought wasn’t actually for me. A friend of mine had been joking with me about my new interest in gaming before I took the plunge, so when it came time to pick out his Christmas present, I thought I’d try finding him something a bit more original than the usual console game. The result was a nice copy of The Quiet Year, sent to him all the way from Canada by way of Sacramento.

John – Bought red box D&D!

Landan – If you exclude video games it would be Dungeons & Dragons v3.0

Megan – I used a friend’s books to play Warhammer and run Pathfinder, so the first system I purchased myself was Numenera, which obviously remains one of my favorites. The only physical rule book I own is Fate Accelerated.
