Day 25 - Favourite RPG That No One Else Wants To Play

I’m pretty sure anything I select here will have people say … “Oh, I’d love to play that - let’s sort something  out!” and also for that matter I don’t actually have a steady RPG group at the moment so I could pretty much say anything as ( Read more... )

Day 24 - Most Complicated RPG Owned

I’m not one for ‘complicated’ RPGs as I prefer the systems to be more ‘in the background’, ‘free flowing’ and ‘unobtrusive’ leaving the focus on the story and the characters decisions and interactions.

I seriously considered selecting ‘Rolemaster’ in this ( Read more... )

Day 23 - Coolest Looking RPG Product/Book

I’m selecting two here. One because it’s a Limited Edition and the other because it’s the regular edition.

The Limited Edition is Fantasy Flight Games ‘Deathwatch’ set. It comes in a big engraved metal case held together by a chain and large key ( Read more... )

My #RPGaDAY in August fell short due to an emergency with my girlfriends brother being rushed into hospital. I'm not going into the details about that here but he's still there and not well. Anyway my last entry was on the 21st August so I'm going to start up from the 22nd and finish it off - even though they will all be 'September' entries now.

Day 21 - Favourite Licensed RPGI’ve enjoyed lots of licensed RPGs and played a fair number of them over the years. I remember my first was the old Games Workshop Judge Dredd Boxed RPG which we played during lunch break at school for a bit (Twilight: 2000 seemed to be the preferred ‘lunch time’ game for some reason though). We had several ( Read more... )

Day 20 - Will still play in 20 years time…

I’m going to use current precedent here by looking at the games I was playing 20 years ago and which of those I’m still playing today.

Back in 1994 we were playing ‘a lot’ of different games and systems - Vampire: The Masquerade, Warhammer Fantasy RPG, TORG, Amber, Marvel Super Heroes, ( Read more... )

Day 19 - Favourite Published Adventure

Whilst we do use pre-published adventures on occasion most of the scenarios we play tend to me more homebrewed or ad-libbed.

There are some published adventures that certainly stick in my mind though… “I6: Ravenloft” which I’ve played three or four times and not only for Advanced Dungeons & ( Read more... )

Day 18 - Favourite Game System

Game systems usually take a back seat in most of the games I play. The story and narration can often take the lead (as I personally feel it should) and the dice (or cards, or hand signs, or whatever the rules suggest as the method of determining certain outcomes) only really come out occasionally and ( Read more... )

Day 17 - Funniest Game You’ve Played

Many of the games we play tend to end up containing a fair bit of humour even though pretty much all of them aren’t “comedy” games in the way games such as Paranoia, Tales of the Floating Vagabond, Ghostbusters and Discworld are.
So with that in mind it’s very hard for me to choose the ‘funniest’ game ( Read more... )

Day 16 - Game You Wish You Owned

I own *a lot* of RPGs. Side effect of a combination of having work in the industry one way or another for close to 30 years and being a massive fan. So instead of posting about a rulebook or supplement that I wish I had on the bookshelf I’m going to do something a bit different and choose a game that I ( Read more... )
