RPGaDay 2021 - Day Nine

 

A Day late and a dollar short… 

Once again it is over a week into August when I remembered “Oh, yeah… RPGaDay!?” 

Medium 

One of my favourite characters I can remember was in John Burt’s short-lived GURPS modern supernatural game. WE were all part of a private investigation agency and… there was supernatural stuff in the world… and some of US had supernatural abilities. My character was, essentially a MEDIUM of sorts… Well… He could see dead people and talk to them - but had no control over it - restless spirits just sort of visited him and he was terrified of them, but it helped solve a LOT of cases! 

One of the things that was great about making the character for this game was that it came from a concept - which I presented to John and said “this is what I’d like to play, I have no idea how to do it in the rules” and we just made shit up. 

I guess also falling under "Medium" could be the medium I prefer for role-playing games, and that would be printed hardcopies (over, say, PDFs or other digital versions).

Percentage

As a teen I LOVED games with Percentile dice and skills. Call of Cthulhu, WFRP, and Revised Recon are a few that instantly come to mine. Now I just can’t stand them.
