The question is: Share an intriguing detail from a game setting you enjoy. I enjoyed Impossible Landscapes, written for the Delta Green game but adaptable to a number of games that deal with agencies battling the supernatural and unknown. I’ve run it once and I can see incredible potential for the diehard GM to engineer…
The question is: How long do your games last? One or two sessions; between two to five hours. For a decade, most of my games have been about that long. I have played a few long-term games and those have lasted anything between 3 months and a year; they were unusual. The majority (99 games…
The question is: Why Has My Favourite Game Stayed with Me? Aside from the theoretical (minimal) value of this out-of-print game, I find the Middle-Earth Role Playing game fascinating. The Rolemaster system, even simplified, was not the best fit for this license, but there’s something fascinating about the way each supplement contained so much potential….
The question is: Where’s My Favourite Place to Play? Hmm. Some of these questions are quite hard to answer, aren’t they? I guess my perfect place is at a convention, as it’s an opportunity to meet new people, play new games, and not feel that the outcome has to be perfect. It’s about fun and…
The question is: When is your perfect game set? This is a trick question, right? The Past. While I have certainly played many games in all eras of history, the ones I have the greatest affinity with happen in the past. And preferably during the turmoil of the late 16th century. Admittedly, I have played…
The question is: What would be your perfect game? Hmm. I think the perfect game is one with friends, online or around the table. It’s the game that everyone looks forward to and misses when it doesn’t happen. The game where memorable characters emerge and unforgetable moments are forged in the moment. It isn’t necessarily…
The question is: Who would you like to Gamemaster for you? Matt Mercer. I just want to see him GM “unplugged” and do so in a way that resonates with me. Critical Role has such a following, but after several attempts to get into it, I haven’t clicked. He’s clearly a performer and an individual…
The question was: Roll 1d8+1, and tag that many friends and suggest a new RPG to try. But, I hate being tagged or intrusively engaging people in social media activities, so instead: Suggest 1d8+1 RPGs to try, it is. I rolled a 5, so I will be suggesting 6 RPGs. I’m not saying that they’re…
The question is: How Would I Change My Introduction to Roleplaying? I wouldn’t change a thing. We chose classes and created characters, then played the introductory adventure included in the boxed red booklets, launching an assault upon the ruined castle in search of the renegade magic-user Bargle and fighting a Carrion Crawler. If I could…
