Day 15 - Favourite Convention Game

Although I’ve been attending conventions since the mid-80’s it has only been in the last five years that I’ve actually managed to ‘play’ a few RPG ‘Convention Games’. I’d played some board and card games at Cons over the years - and also some LARP - but most of the time I’d either be working at the ( Read more... )

Day 13 & 14

Day 13 - Most Memorable Character Death
You know, I’m sure I’ve had many a ‘memorable character death’ over the years but my mind is drawing a blank on this apart from my Bunny in ‘Bunnies & Burrows’ getting run over whilst crossing a highway. Sorry folks!

Day 14 - Best Convention Purchase
I’m limiting my answer to this one ( Read more... )

Day 12 - Old RPG you still play / read

I guess the key here is how you define ‘old’. Is a game published in the 90’s considered old these?

Considering the amount of games I’ve played, let alone brought, over the years and how many of them I enjoy and would still love to play given half a chance the list of contenders here ‘should’ be ( Read more... )

Day 11 - Weirdest RPG Owned

I discovered HoL (Human Occupied Landfill) when I was at Gen Con in Milwaukee back in 1994. I’m not sure if one of the WotC or White Wolf crew pointed me to it or whether it was one I stumbled on during my travels round the Trade Hall. In either case it was a new release from a new indie publisher (Dirt ( Read more... )

Day 10 - Favourite Tie-In Novel / Game Fiction

I don’t read very much game fiction these days but I did read my fair share back in the 80’s and early 90’s.

I used to enjoy a number of the old TSR novels (some of the Dragonlance and Forgotten Realms novels for instance), quite a lot of the White Wolf ‘World of Darkness’ novels (Fun ( Read more... )

(Day 8 & 9)

Day 8 - Favourite Character

Over the years I have played loads of different RPGs across pretty much every genre. This, in turn, has meant I’ve played loads of characters so being able to recall them all is nigh-on impossible and selecting my ‘favourite’ of the ones I do recall is also pretty tricky.

I could choose ‘ ( Read more... )

Day 7 - Most “intellectual” RPG Owned

All RPGs can be really ‘intellectual’ or really ‘silly’ depending on the group so this is a bit open to interpretation. I’m ruling out ‘pompous’ and going to go with games which can either have a rich indepth background or need a masters degree in Math to understand how they work ;)

Actually I did ( Read more... )

Day 6 - Favourite RPG Never get to play

Like, I suspect, many gamers I have a lot of games that I rarely (or have never) play. I’m going to rule out any game that I *have* played - even though there are loads I would love to play again but haven’t done in far too many years (TORG, 7th Sea, Deadlands, Marvel FASERIP, Fading Suns - I’m ( Read more... )

Day 5 - Most Old School RPG Owned

After a bit of digging round that new fangled thing called ‘the internet’ I’ve managed to get a better idea of what is meant by ‘Old School RPG’. I previously had the idea that it meant a game that was either published back in the 70’s/very early 80’s or had the design philosophy of that time (thus the ‘ ( Read more... )

Day 4 - Most Recent RPG Purchase

I’m going to include the most recent RPG that I backed on Kickstarter than has actually arrived to me for this one (mainly as I’m not sure what my most recent purchase outside of that is as life has been rather chaotic the last few months).
So, my most recent RPG purchase was for ‘Jadepunk: Tales From ( Read more... )
