The original question was: Oldest Game You’ve Played That was an interesting bit of research to undertake, and I didn’t expect the outcome to fall as it did. I started my life in role-playing around 1984. We played a bunch of games released around that time, so I suspected that therein would lie the answer….
The original question was: Most Recent Game Bought I quite like the cut of the last question, First RPG Bought (this year), so I’ll stick with the ternary approach. The three answers are: In summary, I have a chunk of reading ahead of me! Robert J. Schwalb yanked my attention in the direction of the…
The original question was: First RPG Bought (this year) And that’s a complicated old question, right? The key issue that spirals out of this one is that I have played none of these games yet. Not for want of trying, but it hasn’t happened. I like to pick up new games, especially those that skip…
The original question was: First RPG Gamemaster Graham, a percussionist in the Beanfield Comprehensive School brass band, presented me with the chance to play a game of red box Basic D&D one lunchtime. So – along with double bass player Jon and cornet player Roy – we played our first adventure seeking out that dastardly wizard Bargle. In the…
The original question was: First RPG played (this year) The answer: MÖRK BORG Specifically, I ran a game at Con-tingency, an excellent 5-day residential event held in Hunstantion. I thoroughly encourage you to try this one out if you’re in the UK (or even if you’re just near enough in Europe that the journey isn’t…
I’m constantly excited when I see someone using The Dee Sanction to run something other than Elizabethan supernatural investigations. I made no particular move to promote the engine for that purpose, but I did write it system first. From the outset, Sanction was there in the backdrop, sort of. I had a pack of cards…
Mental wellbeing and the Internet do not mix. The Internet pulls out all the stops on people’s sense of restraint and reasonableness. Those who might hold back their acidic commentary face-to-face trip the threshold more easily when no one is staring them down. For those already armed with a mean streak, the Internet is a…
The original question was: Tag 1d8+1 friends with your favourite RPG cover art. But, I’m not a fan of tagging people into things they haven’t chosen to be part of, so I’ve rolled, adjusted that roll to a FIVE and will post that many pieces of cover art instead with a note as to why….
The question is: How has the character changed? This is the last of the questions that deal with characters, which is something that I don’t have being more GM than a player and currently not running any games. So, I thought I would repurpose this week’s questions to be about a game project, Divided Horizons….
