#RPGaDay Days 1 and 2

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

The Redacted Files: Px Poker Night pt 2

Something has happened at Platte AirForce Base. Electronic devices, and people come to think of it, have started to act strangely. With a mysterious van guarded by heavily armed men with above top secret clearance doing who knows what out in the boneyard, only one thing is certain: this PX Poker Night will be one to remember.

Final Girl: Dead Wrong

Due to time constraints, the second session of The Redacted Files could not be delivered on time. The TRF crew instead presents this trial run of Gas Mask Games’s Final Girl by Bret Gillan. In this indy horror RPG, players are challenged to create the story of the best horror movie that never was in as much time as it would take to watch it.

For this installment of TRF’s Final Girl franchise, a team of elite commandos are sent to recapture a top secret research facility on an oil rig off the South American coast. They thought it would be an easy mission, but they were…DEAD WRONG.

Do you want to play Final Girl with us? Let us know on Twitter or by email! We would love to add more victims to our games.

\When investigating strange legends in the Northeast, Elizabeth Childs and Humphrey Atkinson find more then they could have ever expected.

The events of this investigation are spun from a scenario seed found in the Call of Cthulhu 4th Edition Rulebook copyright 1989.

ERRORS: As we’re sure someone (and by someone we mean everyone) will point out, the official rules for Call of Cthulhu state explicitly that an attack roll for a shotgun blast cannot be impaled. We stand by the result pursuant to the Rule of Cool.

The Redacted Files: Px Poker Night pt 1

Nothing ever happens at Platte Air Force Base, except for that day when an Air Force special agent came to investigate the chief of security for letting unauthorized personnel onto the base, and those two journalists came to look into the strange lights people reported seeing at night. That day, there were some strange visitors, and things most certainly did happen at PX poker night.
