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 24, our question is what is the most complicated RPG you own?

Aser – Most complicated would probably be Eclipse Phase: no, definitely Eclipse Phase.I like the nuance and detail, but it scares me sometimes.

John – Rolemaster! I fucking hated that game… Critical hit table rocks

Landan – Not sure

Megan – Maybe Eclipse Phase?

Shaunna – Pathfinder, and even though I know it’s not the most complicated game out there, it’s about as complicated as I want to get. The more I have to crunch numbers, the more I’m getting bored and losing interest.

For August 23, our question is what is the coolest looking RPG product / book?

Aser – Coolest looking…? Pass. 😛

John – d20 Call of Cthulhu core

Landan – Inner Sea Gods for Pathfinder

Megan – I really really love the look of the Fiasco book. The fonts and general design are amazing.

Shaunna – Numenera is a pretty cool looking book, but it’s orange, which is my least favorite color…so possibly my Pathfinder Core Rulebook? I have big hopes for the new D&D books though, because I’ve heard good things about them! I love the dice in the 5e starter set…

For August 22, our question is what is your best secondhand RPG purchase?

Aser – I haven’t picked up any second-hand RPGs as yet. My whole collection is digital and is likely to remain so.

John – Found three pristine Call of Cthulhu books at Half Price Books: Strange Aeons, The Dreaming Stone and Last Rites

Landan – None bought second hand

Megan – I’ve never bought any second hand, though I always peruse this section diligently when visiting Powell’s books in Portland.

Shaunna – Every Christmas, I purchase old D&D books for my boyfriend–we are trying to rebuild his original collection–so I guess these can all count as my favorites?

For August 21, our question is what is your favorite licensed RPG?

Aser – I haven’t played any licensed RPGs yet, though I guess technically speaking Call of Cthulhu is a derivative work. I’d say of the licensed games we have, the one I’m looking forward to trying most is Dresden Files.

John – Call of Cthulhu

Landan – Does Star Wars fit this if so then it

Megan – Dresden Files!

Shaunna – I’m not even sure what this is asking for, so here’s my category for today: favorite podcast NPC: Tess from CaF Podcast.

For August 20, our question is what game will you still play in 20 years?

Aser – I’m betting Megan says Numenèra, so I’m going to go out on a limb and say I’ll be playing Numenèra. 🙂

John – in 20 yrs time I will still play Call of Cthulhu

Landan – Probably Pathfinder

Megan – Since if I answer Numenera again you might think I’m boring, I’ll go with Final Girl and Fiasco. They’re a lot of fun and easy to teach people, and even if you run the same scenario it will be completely unique each time.

Shaunna – Who knows??? I can’t box myself in like that 🙂

For August 19, our question is what your favorite published adventure?

Aser – Despite quite a few little errors PX Poker Night for Delta Green holds a special place in my heart because it is the seed from which TRF sprung.A lot of what makes our playthrough special comes from Mike of course, but the original scenario is very solid and comes to you at the extremely reasonable price of free.The official published adventures for Numenèra have been great too, with each illustrating just how alien the Ninth World really is: with my favorite being Beyond All Worlds. I am a big fan of scenarios written by RPPR contributor Caleb Stokes as well.

John – D&D X1, Isle of Dread

Landan – Kingmaker for Pathfinder

Megan – Beyond all Worlds for Numenera. I streamlined some parts of it to keep it a shorter adventure for our one shot, but I think it is a great and flexible adventure.

Shaunna – Favorite D&D Podcast battle: Thom and the Kraken.

For August 18, our question is what your favorite game system?

Aser – I really like Eclipse Phase, but ultimately it’s a system that does one thing extraordinarily well. However much I may dislike some of its combat quirks, I think my favorite may be BRP, the percentile system behind Call of Cthulhu. I particularly like the way in which a PC improves their skills between sessions, by rolling to fail any skills they successfully employed on their previous outing. It seems very organic and encourages players to actually use their skills. With the release of The Strange, we’ll get to see just how versatile the Cypher System is, and it may become my favorite in short order.

John – Eclipse Phase
(Reading Call of Cthulhu 7th ed and I really like it!)

Landan – Pathfinder by Paizo

Megan – I really love Numenera. I can’t wait for my copy of The Strange to arrive!

Shaunna – It’s hard to pick one, so far. There are different things that I enjoy about different games–so, I enjoy the simple gameplay and character creation of Numenera…I enjoy the ability to play a fun Fiasco game on a whim…I love the character that I’ve been able to create in Pathfinder.

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?
